Cantousent Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Happy All Hallow's Eve, everyone! Cute costumes? weird pictures? strange stories? Share it all with us here. I'm going as Greybeard the pirate tonight, and I'll post a pic of it later. I would have gone as Brownbeard the pirate, but my beard has sadly gone grey. An interesting fact is that October 31st is the day Nevada was admitted into the Union in 1864. That's why one of the state's monikers is "Battle Born." The state's motto is "All for Our Country." When I was a kid, we would get a day off every year at the end of October, and I always thought it was for Holloween. lol http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/nevada-day Anyway, have a safe, happy, and healthy holloween, everyone! Don't eat too much candy, but dress up and share a pic with us!

Cantousent Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Here I am, ol' Grey beard. Sadly, I look this ugly in real life also, but I did enjoy the costume. Now, I'm shaving that dreadful beard.

Happy Halloween to you too Cantousent We don't celebrate Halloween in South Africa but I did watch the remake of Fright Night so I sort of pparticipated in the spooky theme.

Cantousent Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Wow, I honestly didn't know you guys didn't celebrate Holloween. Well... I basically think of it as a western European holiday, and so I thought that our Aussie and NZ friends, as well as you guys in South Africa, went in for it. If I'm wrong about that, I'm merely ignorant not malicious. ...But if you guys in Europe don't celebrate the day, then most of the folks here won't have pics or stories to share. :Cant's sad sighing icon: Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

Gorth Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Things may have changed the last decade, but I don't seem to remember anybody celebrating it (or knowing much about it) when I lived in northern Europe. Still, Happy All Hallows' Evening to those who celebrate it “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we see some clubs and events that encourage a dress-up for the evening.

Bos_hybrid Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I thought that our Aussie friends It's celebrated as in a whole bunch of kids think they can go out and get free candy. But don't have to bother dressing up. Of the 7 door knockers I got last night, only one group was in costume. Only one group got treats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
