Welcome Lunasa!

Well, we are getting close to Halloween. We talked about it a bit, but it hasn't been on my mind much until now.

What are you going to be? Will you be partying, trick-or-treating, or just handing out candy?

I need a good costume this year. Two years ago, I was a penguin - and then I went to a party with 15 people that somehow managed to have someone with the exact same penguin outfit. Last year, I was Jesus, and I didn't wear any underwear under my robe and lost my wig. This year needs to be better.

Im going to be HUNK from Resident Evil....(big surprise)

Im not really sure what you should be but im normally a game charecter and no one recongnizes me and I just laugh about it. I love Halloween.

James K. Polk · 10-14-2008, 07:05 PM

The only real thing I have planned is that I'm going to see GWAR the night of Halloween, though Trick or Treating beforehand would be awesome. The rest of that weekend, I'll be working, and at 10 o'clock at night, I don't feel like going out after working a long shift.

My next costume is going to be awesome when I actually get around to doing it. What is it? Green Man of course.

If you don't know, he's from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". And shame on you for not knowing.

Me and the wife are still unsure of what we are going to go as, or where we are going for that matter. We are suppose to go sometime this weekend and pick out my sons costume. We will probably take him to someplace like hallowzooween at the local zoo earlier in the day. And then ship him off to his grandpas for the eavining.

My teacher and I were discussing this in class and I wanted to know what everyone else thought sence it applies to all of us. We feel that most countries hate us here in America. I would not say hate us but i do agree with the fact that many countries dislike America.

From my understanding, it isn't that they hate us, it is that they hate our interventionist foreign policy. They are not happy that we involve ourselves in matters that they feel should be solved by themselves. In general, though, they like Americans and the money they used to spend on vacation, although with the falling dollar value that has declined dramatically.

I'm sure there are those that hate us or resent us, but I don't think it's everybody. I think more people feel that way about Bush and his administration than they do about all Americans. And I think they make fun of Americans more than they wish us dead.

You know what I resent, though? Finding out my absentee ballot application never got faxed because it never got through. AWESOME. I want to vote, damnit!

H.U.N.K · 10-21-2008, 07:34 AM

Im not able to vote yet but i did take a online voting and I had to say I stand behind Barrak Obama a little bit more than I do John Mccain. I think that Obama will win the election but im not really to sure if either of them know what they are talking about....Im almost glad I cant vote.

Meier Link · 10-24-2008, 05:41 PM

I am not sure that I will be partisipating in the votes this year, how patriotic is that? Actually I am registered but I am not sure where haha. That is the delima I have.. Also I dilly dallied around and didn't get the voter registration card for my wife so she won't be able to vote either.

Any which way it goes I will support our resident completely.

So who if anyone went to Ocktoberfest? It is a huge thing here in Oklahoma and rated in the top 10 Ocktoberfest in the nation (I think it was placed at 6).

I dont know how I missed this oh so many pages ago, but I was reviewing some of the past conversations and saw it, as few already know my name is Westley, that is one of the few times I will post it on TFF and I really don't want it used outside of this club.

James D. · 10-24-2008, 07:02 PM

There is virtually no Oktoberfest where I live. It really is a foreign concept to most Floridians. Part of that is because it is still too hot to spend a large portion of the day outside.

Is it just an excuse to drink? Because I just call those Thursdays.

Meier Link · 10-24-2008, 07:13 PM

Yes here it is, there is also alot of German heritage that goes into it also though. There is a pretty interesting history that goes into the festival and it is put on by the German American Society. Basicly here it is a giant carnival that is more for adults.

Here is some info:
2008 Tulsa Oktoberfest

I was really supprised when I woke up on Saturday and found that 85% of the hotel that we where staying in was occupied by Germans flown in just for the event. They where merchants, vendors, and bands.

woops I just realized I typoed in my prvious post and I am glad you caught it, it is Oktoberfest.

H.U.N.K · 10-31-2008, 06:51 AM

Well its Halloween!

My school has alowed everyone to dress up in their costumes but no one dose. I have decided to change my costume to that of a 1930s gangster. Our school Band is going to do a show with Batman and the Phantom of the Opera as some off our music. I am going to where my costume while I play in the show.

Happy Halloween!

Meier Link · 10-31-2008, 12:16 PM

Well so far here there hasn't been many people dress up but maybe because I am at work. We have had safety Joanne, a spartan, a pirate, a bag of bones and a few want to be buisnessmen. Other then that it wsa quite the let down this year, more people usually dress up.

But tonight will hopefully be more fun, a trunk or treat is in store for my son and a little bit of trick or treating through some of the more profitable areas of claremore.

Happy Halloween!

James D. · 11-03-2008, 07:06 PM

I didn't get to do anything for Halloween because I am just getting over the flu.

Good news, though. The election will finally be over in about 24 hours! It has been a marathon, and I am exhausted. No matter who you support, we have to root for our next President, because there are a lot of problems to clean up.

You know what I hate about our country? Bike lanes. There are not a lot in my town.
