Good god that man was stupid.

So, one positive thing about this Halloween is that the Google doodle for today is a sequel game to the 2016 Halloween doodle, which is one of my favorite doodles of all time.

So I once visited the Chick tracts website just out of curiosity, and there was this one where these parents told their kid that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are real, and then when he gets older he finds out they're not and it leads to a bizarre slippery slope where he gets convicted of murder, executed, and ends up in Hell.

I swear I'm not making this up.

To you as well.

I can pass as a trick-or-treater so I went out with my friend last year and did that, I'm glad I did because I don't think I can get away with it next year.

We celebrate a littleeee here in Singapore, but no trick or treat. Just haunted houses and all that stuff, like in Universal Studios. Though unfortunately, not going for this year.

Get ready for it though, because as soon as the clock ticks and hits 1st of November, you'll be hearing Jungle Bells ad infinitum.

What do Jungle bells signify? Reject humanity, embrace monke?

I'm expecting another spike in coronavirus infectants, as Halloween will bring people more outdoors and together.

Outdoors and together is better than indoors and together tbh.

"Together" as in "mass" or "crowded". People are usually segregated while indoors.

There's nothing quite so typically childish as worrying about appearing childish and letting that keep you from just sincerely enjoying things.

Halloween actually has more Gaelic origins.

It is highly Americanised, though.
