Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

[Ming]

I haven't celebrated Halloween since I was like 12. I'm a boring person.

I've never celebrated it.

 

[Барбоса]

I thought people like you were the worst type of people when I was a kid. Now I place you behind only terrorists, rapists, and serial killers. You're still ahead of tyrannical dictators, though.

Because I won't answer my door to some snot-nosed little brat who wants a hand out because they have put on a mask or wrapped a bed sheet around them?

I haven't celebrated Halloween since I was like 12. I'm a boring person.

What is there to celebrate?

Halloween and in particular Trick or Treating is one of the worst imports this country has made from the USA.

 

[Ty Burna]

Well to turn around this parade of gloom and crocketiness, my Halloween celebrating kicked ass last weekend. I drank enough to ensure myself a night of horrible pains and yet somehow maintained perfectly throughout the night with the perfect buzz, a party bus so no driving was necessary, hot Russian women dancing on said bus all night, and free pizza to end the evening.

This evening I'll take my daughter trick or treating, something she's been looking forward to for weeks now. I went home for lunch and she had at least five costumes out trying to decide which one she wants to wear.

 

[The Doctor]

I doubt people will stop by my apartment since the rain's been cold and I live on campus, but just in case people feel like being silly, I have a thing of pringles and chocolates to hand out. And hey, if not, more for me.

I went to a Halloween party last week dressed as Ultramantis Black. Was great.

It's a magical day where children get to dress up and get free, delicious candy (as well as a stray box of raisins or apple with a razor blade in it). In addition to encouraging kids to use their imaginations, getting candy makes them happy. I'd argue Halloween and Trick-Or-Treating is a fine tradition.

To be fair, my evening didn't really suck, Halloween just always reminds me that I don't really enjoy traditional college culture which sucks because most of my friends do. But nonetheless, I got drunk, hung around chicks dressed like ****s, played some beer pong (my team was The Punisher (me) and Bane, how epic is that?), and ate delicious pizza and curly fries when I got home. All in all it was a good time.

Damn five costumes? Aren't those things expensive as shit, or are they just a bunch of outfits she's put together from various costumes and dressup stuff over the year?

Either way, have a god time tonight, and don't forget about the parent tax where every fifteen minutes you're out you get one piece of candy. You can adjust the ratio as you see fit, of course.

Colleges are generally not big hot spots for Trick-Or-Treating, but who knows, maybe you'll get some random group of freshmen knocking on doors.

I would imagine you had to explain to lots of people who you were. Hell, I probably wouldn't know who you were, and I like wrestling.

It can have all the positives it likes but the idea of people ringing my doorbell looking for a hand out irks me the other 364 days of the year. 31st October is no different.

Mostly referring to Barbosa, Yazloz, etc saying they don't celebrate it.

Nah my wife loves Halloween and thus has a pretty massive collection of costumes to choose from. These are ones that my stepdaughter wore when she was younger so they're hand me downs, but my wife does scope out stores for costumes after Halloween is over to pick some new ones up for next year on the dirt cheap.

I fully intend on it. My dad always swiped candy from me when I was younger, now it's my turn to continue the tradition.

Nah, I said I was a supervillain and left it at that. The costume was cool enough to work on its own.

Seriously, look how cool I am.

I share this approach, and always have. 'Tis why, even as a child, I never went "trick or treating". I didn't answer my door once tonight.

If you had your porch light off, no one should have approached. If you did have it on, you're a dick.

 

[justinsayne]

I don't get off work till after trick or treating is done, one of the few nights a year when I actually am glad when I have to work a little late.

 

[Ming]

I don't have a front garden, or a "porch". When I did at my last house however, children still approached with no light on. Persistent, greedy little bastards, I say.

You should have given them some bleach. Or kidnapped them. Teach their fucking parents a lesson.

 

[justinsayne]

So I'm thinking about going & seeing Wreck It Ralph Friday night at the 9:50 show, so as to avoid seeing in a theater filled with annoying little kids, then seeing Cloud Atlas early Sat.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

I spent Halloween in a tattoo shop, damn kids!

Yeah, such etiquette regarding Trick or Treating does not seem to have spread over here. It's "ring the doorbell as many times in 20 secs as we can and if they do not answer the door, bang it for another 20 secs."

Hey Jglass, how did you make out with the storm?

 

[JGlass]

Hey Jglass, how did you make out with the storm?

It wasn't too bad up here at all. Classes were cancelled for the day which was probably the right call considering there were some strong gusts of wind that could probably knock a light student off of their feet, but it was business as usual on Tuesday.

My parents got lucky back home. My mom was home alone because my dad was in China on business, but it seems like my town got extremely lucky as she said things aren't that bad, and I don't think she ever lost power either, or at least not for a long stretch of time. I think my dad is flying back today, provided Newark is open, but my mom still can't go into work since she works in the city, and New York is pretty messed up right now.

I saw LI got pretty clobbered, is the recovery going well for you?

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Good grief I'm glad I live in Britain sometimes. It's extremely rare that our weather gets that bad.

I guess consistently poor weather beats occasionally monstrous weather.

It makes you appreciate those 2 weeks out of the year when the weather is glorious.

Well said Barbosa.

I just finished Assassins Creed Brotherhood. The RPG elements of the game are a lot of fun, and the missions are pretty sweet, but I didn't like the added synchronization elements, and the ending was by far the least fulfilling.
