Take that “intelligent design!”
Day: October 31, 2005
It’s not that I’m complaining about the holiday goodies we got here — just a cupcake for me actually, which was nice — but I haven’t seen anybody in costume and nothing as neat as this.
Addendum: Okay, our office manager had on cat ears, but still, that’s hardly the same thing.
More from the Spam Reading Club: The Return of Tarzan and The Son of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs, as well as Villette by Charlotte Bronte. Automatic spam filters are really fooled by this stuff?
From Garrison Keillor:
What’s interesting about Halloween is that it has no real connection to the majority religion of this country, it does not celebrate an event in our nation’s past, it does not involve traveling to visit family, and it doesn’t even give us a day off work. But it gives us the chance to try out other identities. For one day, people can feel free to dress as the opposite gender, as criminals, as superheroes, celebrities, animals, or even inanimate objects. But Halloween retailers report that the most popular costumes remain some variation on witches, ghosts, and devils.
Happy Halloween, everyone.
