Halloween combines so many terrible fears into one night that I'm amazed people leave the house. First of all, there are kids everywhere, which if you've seen any kids recently you know they are scarier than ebola ice cream with hanta sprinkles. Second, your costume must pass some nebulous muster, the arbiters of which are invisible but omnipresent; if you just paint on a fake beauty mark and call yourself Madonna, you're practically begging for a razor apple to the head, which kids today actually carry around to hurl at lamely costumed twentysomethings. Third, candy makes you fat, and you are legally obliged to consume at least 300 mini peanut butter cups before the November 5 premiere of Matrix Unreconstructed. Fatty.
     Gregor is pissed about missing the parties this year and wants us to tell him they sucked. Well, guess what? They will. What could possibly make them good? I'll tell you what: the patented UD Neoprene Morphine Harness, which would suspend each partygoer from the ceiling in a state of mumbling, drooling, and non-chafing euphoria. It would look like that scene from Coma, but with slightly less brain death and a lot less Tom Selleck.
     And another thing. You know that boilerplate "Halloween Safety Tips" list that gets republished in every crappy family newspaper and mag every year? The warning that creeps me the fuck out is: "Wear light clothing so that you will be visible to cars." Well there's something wrong with that warning. Because Halloween is not the only time kids cross the stupid street. It shouldn't be more likely that kids would get hit on H'ween. So maybe demonically possessed drivers are actually trying harder to hit kids on H'ween, and the light clothing actually makes them easier targets.
     So if you really want to be safe, dress completely in black, tape stilettos to your hands, and run serpentine through your shitty little neighborhood as fast as you can. Do not collect candy, do not TP the yards of your Mr. Wilsons. If anyone asks what your costume is, say "your unsolved murderer," and stab them in the tummy. Then run, children! Run into the traffic!

DISALLOWED FOREVER

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!"
-
"from whence"
-
"...the exception that proves the rule"
-
any use of the question "spit or swallow?"
-
the phrase "drop trou"
-
fake-o reviewer verbs:
"penned" for wrote
"helmed" for directed
"lensed" for whatever
-
"expat"
-
the euphemism
"passed away"
-
pronouncing merci beaucoup as "mercy buckets!"
(see also: "grassy-ass!")



PET PEEVES

"confinscated"
-
trying children "as adults"
-
"drownded"
-
misuse of reflexive pronouns, as when someone says "Please talk to Bob or myself." Come on people now. "Myself" is not just a fancy version of "me"! LEARN IT.
-
tattoos in the Courier font
-
any use of Comic Sans
