Halloween, by virtue of adults wanting to act like children, is now less of a kids holiday. I've had less than a dozen trick-or-treaters at my door in as many years. I've witnessed scores of men dressed as women, women dressed as prostitutes, and college girls wearing their younger sister's school uniform outside my window (I can't say that I totally disapprove of everything I see around Halloween!). Halloween is not just less of a kids day, it's also less of a holiday. A great number of people treat every day as Halloween. It's fun to be someone else one day a year. But when you wear green hair and a costume 24/7/365, you might have identity problems. Razorblades in apples, pins in Snickers bars, and kids egging your house (or, larger kids catching you egging their house) were some of the biggest Halloween fears two decades ago. Today, it's an adult's world (no matter how many times the phrase "it's for the children" is invoked). There are scarier boogeymonsters around the corner for youngsters to beware.

Here's a photo-catalog of loony Bay Area anti-Bush demonstrators at, the appropriately (for today) called, www.zombietime.com.

(It's a point in favor of the FF post with freaky pictures from the last gay day parade.)

Ooooo, yes. So scarry! Owwooo!!!

Let me tell you something, kids. You want to see something scary, it's Mr. Flynn with his shirt off! ooo! All that hair ... and ... sweat! ooo! So scarry!!!

Owwwooo!!!!

The man won't let me go trick-or-treating.

Um.... the one on the left isn't a college girl... it's a guy...

Still, I'm in support of gay marriage, so who am I to judge people's persuasions? ;)

Bruce, I can assure you that the comely young school girl on the left is indeed a lady. Her name is Lola. She told me so in a dark brown voice.
