Why not just create a new topic? That would have been better, but oh well.
I was Arthur Dent for Halloween. Halloween is definitely dying out.

Also because it seemed like a good idea, once Jonathan pointed that out.

Happy Halloween!
I didn't have much of a costume this year; I just put my Aikido gi on, and some sparring gloves and mat shoes, and carried around a wooden knife. But there was a big contest in school, and a bunch of my friends won the best group costume award: Tetris.

hmm, obviously you don't have a traditional teacher or they'd not have permitted nor looked kindly on wearing the gi outside of the dojo.

Sorry to cause more problems, but wouldn't it make more sense to remove the year from this thread altogether? Also wasn't it originally called "Happy Halowe'en 2004"? What's wrong with "Happy Halowe'en"?
Anyway, Trick-or-eat was super fun. We collected a huge amount of food for the food bank, and a lot of people gave us candy too. I had a very healthy dinner of candy and pop and pizza. I'm really enjoying this Zorro costume. The mask is exciting (though sometimes it slips and pokes me in the eye), the cape is cool (though sometimes it gets all twisted around) and I just look dashing and Zorro-like which is fun. I was having fun fake-sword fighting with my friends and striking Zorro poses. I went to class dressed as Zorro as well. I was the only one dressed up. After class, I went to Second Cup for a coffee and they gave me a package of costume because I had an awesome costume. How nice! Halowe'en is one of my favourite holidays. It's full of fun and dressing up and parties and kids having a good time. (For Catholics, it's a bit more than that. )

I'm kinda with you on this one, though I'm not very worried about what other people do with their gis. (I'm not saying you're worried either though. )

OH, and I took *your* suggestion too; I hope HOBBIT isn't too upset and I promise to be more restrained in the future.....mostly

Ahhhh, I understand now and I just remembered an old thread about it--you only studied the more traditional styles, didn't you Spock? I took Tae Kwon Do because my parents made me, and then I took Kung Jung Mu Sul for a while because I needed exercise and enjoyed doing the patterns. I guess you could say that my first teacher was a traditional teacher, but my second was into the whole 'new age' spiritual thing... kept trying to convert me, which didn't work too well... I guess in the end it all comes down to why you're taking the martial arts. |

In these I have ranking and teaching licenses. Then I'm a senior student of Tokagure Ninjitsu and have studied Northern Shaolin, Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi and a bit of 'put the bandages here' Quote:

But don't get me wrong--I'm still hugely impressed by you Spock. Ever since I found out you were a student in Ninjitsu, Northern Shaolin, and so many other arts in which you're highly ranked, all your posts have some godlike quality. You command respect. THere was also a kid in school wearing a Tiger Shullman's karate gi. That was bad. EDIT: I meant to ask, too, is this trick-or-treat for charity a new idea. I've never heard of it before until you mentioned it the other day, Nurv, and then we had two of our own trick-or-treaters doing something similar as well. They were carrying around little boxes and asked if we could spare some change after we had given them some candy. They weren't together either, so I'm surprised it's so suddenly popular when I've never heard of it before. It's a great idea.

THAT or he's some huge, 7'8" Hulk-esque jock with an IQ of 44.3 . I keed I keed. Spock is, like many people on the moot, very intelligent. |

firstly happy (pagan) new year's eve to everyone (although it is belated)
i celebrated my (pagan) new year's eve by watching a few films, drinking a little, as i have now stopped my former heavy drinking, and frightening small children from my village, although i did not carve the traditional turnip, i did carve a pumpkin with which i caught all evil spirits overnight, so they did not haunt the following year, so i spent the evening as i spend all (pagan new year's eves |

This bears sharing in this topic too.
An interesting theory.

Hmmm, I visit 'Peanuts', Get Fuzzy, and Dilbert comics every morning I can....that was today's daily comic, eh...
Having experienced Halloween in many states through the years....New England Halloweens are simply the most wonderful...Lots of dry leaves, old cemeteries line the old neighborhoods, sigh....it's almost romantic (Leaves to steal candy from unsuspecting niece...Awwwwww, sugar-loot) Edit: States as in the lower 48 [glares at Spock incase of looming smarty-pantz 'state-of-mind' joke]

Second year in a row its rained no trick or treating for me this year (Damn cold) well me and my best friend ended up watching Saw and part of Dawn of the Dead while her mom's boyfriend kept saying he could smell our brains in the Kermit voice. We did have lots of cake and candy though
