Skyrad 0 #1 October 19, 2006 Americans don't know how to celebrate Halloween. What the hells up with dressing up like a pirate or a robot or something equally meaningless? If you're going to celebrate our festivals then at least try and do it properly and dress as a spook or something approprite! http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/Halloween.html So this year dear Yank, please do it right. Cheerio!When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

shropshire 0 #5 October 20, 2006 I hear you..... I dont understand it myself and noone here wants to explain why they dont follow the Ghost/witches theme.... It's just plain weird.

SpeedRacer 1 #8 October 20, 2006 Quote Fire Fire was very important to the Celts as it was to all early people. In the old days people lit bonfires, to scare away evil spirits. They believed that light had power over darkness. In some places they used to jump over the fire to bring good luck. Hey, I've done that!!!

Thanatos340 1 #10 October 20, 2006 QuoteSo this year dear Yank, please do it right. Dear Brit.. First.. Get a Toothbrush.. Please. Dental Hygiene on that side of the pond is truly lacking and borderline offensive. Second.. We didn’t like the way you did things.. That is why our ancestors left your miserable county to begin with. Then when your ancestors got pissed about it, We kicked their ass out of OUR country. Then When old Mother England was getting slapped around in WW1 and WW2.. We came over and took care of that for you too. Yes, Our beer sucks. No we don’t like Tea unless it is iced, Watered down and (In the south anyway) Sweetened to the consistency of syrup, And here Halloween is ONE day.. and people can dress up like what ever they feel like. Now go get yourself some good old Fish and Chips, A nice cup of tea and piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swedishcelt 0 #23 October 20, 2006 I guarantee more kids know what a pirate is than a 'goblin'. Also, you look a kid in the face and tell him he can't be what he wants to be. Plus, have you seen Pirates of the Carribean I or II? They were some damn scary pirates. I'm sorry, you bring up some great points in your other threads but I have to say that this one is just mistaken, misinformed, and misguided. Back off Halloween. We most DEFINITELY do it better than you Brits. Unless you count the razor blades in apples, poison in candies, laxatives in the chocolate and anthrax powder in the treats people sometimes get if they go to a stranger's house.
