Happy Halloween smammers!
This year, AYB went to two haunted house amusement things, the first was awesome, the second was lame.
BTW, you should all switch avatars with another smammer, it is OSY tradition!

Aren't we 8/9 (depending on timezone) days early for this? Or we deciding to follow consumerist schedules where we start doing things weeks in advance and end up diluting the whole meaning of the original holiday by the time it comes around? Or does the smam keep the holiday spirit strong?

I hate this holiday.
Thanks to American TV shows it is gaining a foothold here.
We already have a stupid day in the year were we are allowed to dress up in costumes.
We don't need another!

Man, it was a little weird to open this thread and see myself. I spent a few seconds thinking "Wait, didn't AYB start this thread? .....oh!"

I have chosen to dress up as Count Blah!
