DieRuhe: A local store started putting Halloween stuff out last week. I guess it takes over two months to make sure one is properly prepared!
Well, 2 months isn't too bad. Some folks take Halloween very seriously. But it does seem a bit excessive. Personally, I'm going to be waiting until the day after Halloween and then gorge myself on all sorts of candy.

Gotta love those after Halloween sales. Buy me enough candy to at least last through the end of the year.

Now if only I could keep the little bastards from ringing the door bell during monster/horror movie night and stealing my candy. Maybe, I need to start giving out the shitty candy I remember from when I was tot stealing candy from people. Almond Joys for every kid. Don't mind them now, but I used to hate them when I was a kid.

Halloween isnt as big a deal in the UK, but I find leaving the front door open with an Alsatian and a Rhodesian Ridgeback wandering around works.

They've done this for years, they throw out their sample material early to get feedback so that they are actually good to go for Christmas. It's perverse, but actually there's method to the madness. The build up to christmas is sooo important to people that make you want to buy things, that it has extended to turning you into beta testers for buying things.

Also, there are the people that have all their christmas shopping done by October. We all hate those people.

Just start impaling them on the front lawn and you shouldn't have any further trouble.

Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas.

reaver894: I just heard a christmas song on the radio

In AUGUST...

Which brings me to this threads purpose, What have you seen or heard in the last little while that has made you lose the will to live (metaphorically speaking. Not actually considering suicide)
Shouldn't be surprised, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving! I mean seriouly, why do you need an entire month for Christmas presents, THAT YOU COULD BUY AT THE STORE, AND WRAP UP!?!?
