Don't even consider going there.

I forgot to mention that I found out one of my party guests is a rabid Bunnymen fan, and requested "Heaven Up Here" be played--my favorite Bunnymen album! It was awesome!

Did you kill them afterwards?

Did you kill them afterwards?

I know, really. HUH is my favorite too, but requesting it at a Halloween Party?

[black francis]

A wise man once told me you don't play music on a juke box to show how cool you are.

[girlwithnoname]

Yes, he's buried in the backyard, along with the jack o' lantern.

On another note, what's YOUR Halloween music selection?

Without talking on behalf of all Brits here,to us Halloween is a load of old bollocks.Come to my door and say "trick or treat" when Im watching telly and the answer is"fuck off.... and if you egg my windows I'll have you".I fucking told those five year olds the other night I can tell you.

To us its Bonfire Night every time when we bravely avoid the firework code because we've had a skinful of lager,the one lighting the fireworks is normally smoking at the same time because they are only ones with a lighter,and you piss yourself laughing when next doors fence catches fire from a defective catherine wheel.Common happy sayings heard on Bonfire night."You dont get much for your money...is that it........that burger tastes shit".Aaahh good old Bonfire night.

with you there smiff. Since I moved to a house on the main road through town I get very little in the way of halloween traffic (though since the council let the bus company put a bus stop right outside my house I can no longer walk around stark bollock naked without getting odd looks from the upper deck, but, swings and roundabouts and all that). They, the little ones that is, all stick to the estates, especially the one where a fair few of our american brethren still live (used to be a US base up the road). One of my fondest memories is of my big brother and his mates (late '60s I guess) seeing who could make the biggest hand grenade by sellotaping the most bangers together and lighting them all before chucking it. happy days.

The Residents' 'Voice of Midnight', classic.

Throwing them through public lavatory windows was also quite entertaining (that was in the day when the UK actually had public lavatories, nowadays we just have combined bus shelter / public urinals).

The combined phone box / public urinal is popular in London.

Round my way it's shoving lit fireworks down the pants of old ladies or better still, fix them onto the back of mobility scooters so to watch them cretins fly. Guy on the bonfire? Nah, torch the local chav estate. Nice spectacle for all and also does the government good service by getting rid of benefit scroungers and keeping teenage pregnancy rates down.

You are George Osborne and I claim my five pounds.

Thank you Mr Clegg.
