As Halloween Night winds down, I leave you with a tale of a Halloween night at the home of a family who treat every day as if it's Halloween. They're the Addams Family, and the episode is Halloween, Addams Style.
I hope you've enjoyed C2's Halloween Liberty Pubs and After-Pubs, and thank you for watching and posting!

ReplyDeleteErik, did you all trick or treat in S.A. before you came back to the States?
We did but no where near the hype that it is here. Not safe to be out after dark.
Hey Erik - Halloween is very new to Germany. Very few children go trick or treating.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, just 2 guys in the room....

No more for me?

The competition is too stiff?
:P
A cop stops a Harley for travelling faster than the posted speed limit, so
ReplyDeleteHe asks the biker his name.
'Reg,' he replies.
'Reg what?' the officer asks.
'Just Reg,' the man responds.
The officer is in a good mood and thinks he might just give the biker a
Break and, write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then
Presses him for the last name.
The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it. The
Officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. 'Tell
me, Reg, how did you lose your last name?'
The biker replies, 'It's a long story, so stay with me.' I was born Reg
Dingaling. I know -- a funny last name. The kids used to tease me all
The time, so I stayed to myself, studied hard and got good grades. When I got
Older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college,
Medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was
Reg Dingaling, MD. After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I
Decided to go back to school.. Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through
School, got my degree, so then I was Reg Dingaling, MD, DDS. Got bored
Doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she
Gave me VD, so now I was Reg Dingaling, MD, DDS, with VD. Well, the ADA
Found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Reg Dingaling,
MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because
Of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Reg Dingaling with VD.
Then the VD took away my Dingaling, so now I am Just Reg !
The officer walked away in tears, laughing.

Don't knock pants! I think you underestimate them.
Just take a look at this tribute to pants!
“Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl”.
ReplyDeleteThe priest asks, “Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?”
“Yes, Father, it is.”
“And who was the girl you were with?”
“I can’t tell you, Father, I don’t want to ruin her reputation”.
“Well, Joey, I’m sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?”
“I cannot say.”
“Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?”
“I’ll never tell.”
“Was it Nina Capelli?”
“I’m sorry, but I cannot name her.”
“Was it Cathy Piriano?”
“My lips are sealed.”
“Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?”
“Please, Father, I cannot tell you.”
The priest sighs in frustration.
“You’re very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you’ve sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.”
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, “What’d you get?”
“Four months vacation and five good leads.”
Well, I am gonna flop on the couch and watch scary movies with Brandy.
ReplyDeleteOh, a joke thread! YAY!
ReplyDeleteHere's dessert. Pick what looks good and I'll get some fresh coffee on, too, for anyone who wants some.
If you need anything else I'll be downstairs cleaning up.

ReplyDeleteBar fight....
ReplyDeleteLOL, I can just call animal control.
Yeah,there's gotta be a good creepy movie on tonight.
ReplyDeleteDEZ isn't that one of the most thrilling moments of movie history?
ReplyDeleteA young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.”
ReplyDeleteThe barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, “Which do you want, son?”
The boy takes the quarters and leaves.
“What did I tell you?” said the barber. “That kid never learns!” Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.
“Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?”
The boy licked his cone and replied, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!”
Bar fight....
ReplyDeleteLOL, I can just call animal control.
They'll have to get through me, DEZ ...and I brought the whip tonight.
LOL, I can just call animal control.
ReplyDeleteLOL, & I have the 800 # to ICE.

It was a party and the host was getting worried–there were too many people and not enough refreshments. She was sure that not all of these people had been invited but didn’t know how to tell which ones were the crashers. Then her husband got an idea….
ReplyDeleteHe turned to the crowd of guests and said, “Will those who are from the bride’s side of the family stand up please?”
About twenty people stood.
Then he asked, “Will those who are from the groom side of the family stand up as well?”
About twenty five people stood up.
Then he smiled and said, “Okay, now all of you who stood up–get out! This is a birthday party.”
I told my youngest that I would pay her $1.00 for every Reese Peanut Butter cup she got for me tonight. Damn it would have been cheaper to go and buy them from the store. I owe her $15.00. :))
ReplyDeleteCallahan, the 1st 2 alien movies are to me, movie milestones, classics.
ReplyDeleteAnd your right, it was a great moment in movie history.
The boy licked his cone and replied, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!”
ReplyDeleteDING !
crap, I forgot...
I just had an experience. Changing THE CAT LITTER BOX.
ReplyDeleteIf that was never made into a horror movie, it should have been.
Well, the witching hour has come.
Nite, Nite.

I've been feeling the same way ....but heck, we've got BareAss in there to fix anything that goes wrong. Better for us to work out the kinks there while it's still in progress.
Hell, everyone else changed theirs....

ReplyDeleteI suppose so.
I'll find something to post.
I'm wondering with the *cough* awesome gifts *cough* the Obamas' have given out to people, what they handed out for Halloween.
Parental Report cards ?
Copies of "Gov't Healthcare Is The Real Candy" ?

Make that 2000, not 200.
ReplyDelete"approved by the Department of Education."
ReplyDeleteAre you serious ?
*hangs head*
The children came from 11 area schools -- five in the District, three in Maryland and three in Virginia, all chosen by the Department of Education, Final count, according to the First Lady's staff, was 2,600 children and adults.

Happy Halloween at the White House
ReplyDeleteThe White House hosted a huge Halloween party tonight. There were about 2,000 local area kids who lined up to get treats from the White House, some from President Obama and Mrs. Obama.
The children, ages 6 to 14 (but some obviously with younger brothers and sisters), came from 11 area schools -- five in the District, three in Maryland and three in Virginia (see list below) -- all chosen by the Department of Education. There were supposed to be about 2,000 children. Final count, according to First Lady's staff, was 2,600 children and adults. At one point, a toddler in his father's arms burst into tears upon seeing the president.
/I can empathize with the toddler

Hoo boy, ya'll have to read this ..
ReplyDeleteNYT's Frank Rich, swirling, swirling, spinning, doing his best little Axelrod-obedient best to frame the debate:
BARACK OBAMA’S most devilish political move since the 2008 campaign was to appoint a Republican congressman from upstate New York as secretary of the Army. This week’s election to fill that vacant seat has set off nothing less than a riotous and bloody national G.O.P. civil war. No matter what the results in that race on Tuesday, the Republicans are the sure losers. This could be a gift that keeps on giving to the Democrats through 2010, and perhaps beyond.
The governors’ races in New Jersey and Virginia were once billed as the marquee events of Election Day 2009 — a referendum on the Obama presidency and a possible Republican “comeback.” But preposterous as it sounds, the real action migrated to New York’s 23rd, a rural Congressional district abutting Canada. That this pastoral setting could become a G.O.P. killing field, attracting an all-star cast of combatants led by Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, William Kristol and Newt Gingrich, is a premise out of a Depression-era screwball comedy. But such farces have become the norm for the conservative movement — whether the participants are dressing up in full “tea party” drag or not.
The battle for upstate New York confirms just how swiftly the right has devolved into a wacky, paranoid cult that is as eager to eat its own as it is to destroy Obama. The movement’s undisputed leaders, Palin and Beck, neither of whom have what Palin once called the “actual responsibilities” of public office, would gladly see the Republican Party die on the cross of right-wing ideological purity. Over the short term, at least, their wish could come true.
Sure enough, bloggers trashed her as a radical leftist and ditched her for a third-party candidate they deem a “true” conservative, an accountant and businessman named Doug Hoffman. When Gingrich dared endorse Scozzafava anyway — as did other party potentates like John Boehner and Michael Steele — he too was slimed. Mocking Newt’s presumed 2012 presidential ambitions, Michelle Malkin imagined him appointing Al Sharpton as secretary of education and Al Gore as “global warming czar.” She’s quite the wit.
The wrecking crew of Kristol, Fred Thompson, Dick Armey, Michele Bachmann, The Wall Street Journal editorial page and the government-bashing Club for Growth all joined the Hoffman putsch.
/there's more
The right’s embrace of Hoffman is a double-barreled suicide for the G.O.P. On Saturday, the battered Scozzafava suspended her campaign, further scrambling the race. It’s still conceivable that the Democratic candidate could capture a seat the Republicans should own. But it’s even better for Democrats if Hoffman wins. Punch-drunk with this triumph, the right will redouble its support of primary challengers to 2010 G.O.P. candidates they regard as impure. That’s bad news for even a Republican as conservative as Kay Bailey Hutchison, whose primary opponent in the Texas governor’s race, the incumbent Rick Perry, floated the possibility of secession at a teabagger rally in April and hastily endorsed Hoffman on Thursday.
The more rightists who win G.O.P. primaries, the greater the Democrats’ prospects next year. But the electoral math is less interesting than the pathology of this movement. Its antecedent can be found in the early 1960s, when radical-right hysteria carried some of the same traits we’re seeing now: seething rage, fear of minorities, maniacal contempt for government, and a Freudian tendency to mimic the excesses of political foes. Writing in 1964 of that era’s equivalent to today’s tea party cells, the historian Richard Hofstadter observed that the John Birch Society’s “ruthless prosecution” of its own ideological war often mimicked the tactics of its Communist enemies.
Put ya'll all to sleep, didn't I?
ReplyDelete/I blame Frank Rich.
Frank Rich is a doooooooooooooooosh. ; )

ReplyDeleteHmmmm. What's his screen name? ; )
That article could damn near be called propaganda. I wonder what he's going to say when this starts happening over and over and f'ing over ....will it *then* be a referendum on Teh Won's presidency!?
ReplyDeleteHow many of these "grass roots" elections will we have to win before the dawgs-that-be realize people are not only pissed, but fighting, spitting mad and ready to do something about it?
There's definitely a drumbeat out there, Populator Czar. I honestly think this is an effort to depress conservatives - we've seen it in a lot of places - this continuous message about how bad off the GOP is, blah blah blah. No matter what circumstances show and no matter how they change, we're in trouble, big trouble.
ReplyDeleteIt's a head game, imo.

ReplyDeleteCan't they come up with new material? Don't they realize how tired we already are of reading this same old tired song and dance. It's like they all get their marching orders and rush to their little laptops and type the same thing ....Kos, Huffpo, NYT, Wapo, LAT ....same old same old. (Not to mention others who shall not be mentioned.)
/where's the creativity! ...the critical thinking!?

It's a head game, imo.
ReplyDeleteYep.
"The GOP is in the grip of the crazies. The Tea Parties just show how much trouble they're in. They won't win another election ever again. I was conservative but not anymoooooooore."
ReplyDeleteLather, rinse, repeat. [rolls eyes]
One of the best Mark Steyn pieces yet:
ReplyDeleteValerie Jarrett announced the other day that "we're going to speak truth to power."
Who's Valerie Jarrett? She's "Senior Adviser" to the president of the United States – i.e., the leader of the most powerful nation on the face of the Earth. You would think the most powerful man in the most powerful nation would find a hard job finding anyone on the planet to "speak truth to power" to. But I suppose if you're as eager to do so as his Senior Adviser, there's always somebody out there: The Supreme Leader of Iran. The Prime Minister of Belgium. The Deputy Tourism Minister of the Solomon Islands. But no. The Senior Adviser has selected targets closer to home: "I think that what the administration has said very clearly is that we're going to speak truth to power. When we saw all of the distortions in the course of the summer, when people were coming down to town hall meetings and putting up signs that were scaring seniors to death."
Ah, right. People "putting up signs." Can't have that, can we? The most powerful woman in the inner circle of the most powerful man on Earth has decided to speak truth to powerful people standing in the street with handwritten placards saying "THIS GRAN'MA ISN'T SHOVEL READY." Was it only a week ago that I wrote about this administration's peculiar need for domestic enemies?
The Senior Adviser seems to have forgotten that sheis the power. Admittedly, this is a recurring lapse on the part of the administration. There was Barack Obama only the other day, blaming everything on the president – no, no, silly, not him, the other fellow, the Designated Fall Guy who stepped down as head of state in January to accept the new constitutional position of Blame Czar. Musing on problems in Afghanistan, Obama blamed the "long years of drift" under his predecessor. The new president – OK, newish president – has been Drifter-in-Chief for almost a year but he's too busy speaking truth to the former power to get on top of the situation. It could be a while yet. In his more self-regarding moments, such as his speech to the United Nations, he gives the strong impression that the "long years of drift" began in 1776.
