I can't believe she's never heard of All Saints' Day. Or maybe saints are satanic, too.
Well, derr! What with the Papistry and all, totally satanic.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
We have that. My cousins grew up sitting in the house praying, not answering the door on Halloween.
Hey, fundamentalist religious paranoia is a global phenomenon! I'm so proud.

Pope Benedict kind of looks like one, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'd say Benedict is more like Emperor Palpatine.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm not sure if I'm reassured by Seska's post or more worried. I always think of that kind of religious fear-mongering as very American.
My kids have been asking about Halloween and what the holiday celebrates. (Now that I think of it, I've been fielding a lot of spiritual questions lately.) My answer has been to link it to the Day of the Dead, and that the holiday is a chance to celebrate and mock death instead of just being afraid of it.

I have done so much work, I'm done. Managed to wrangle a 7000 problem down to 3000 then to 2000 then FINALLY got everyone to figure out what was really going on and now it is ....7. 7!! All this gnashing of teeth and long ass meetings and debate and philosophical questions and ....7.
I'm not sure whether to be proud or embarrassed.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
smonster, you would have been so proud of Abby's outfit today.
Yay! I actually couldn't get it together today, but amyth represented for our office in a stunning black and orange ensemble.
