Saturday Thread, Duh.

I've only got a quick sec before a friend stops by to help me with a computer hardware issue in exchange for free Japanese food, SO HERE'S YER SATURDAY THREAD! All day, all night, all right.

Our official movie of the night: A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part II, airing on Encore at 10:35 PM. (And for others, at different times, and for others, at no time at all. Buy the damn DVD.) The Monday after next marks the start of X-E's 2005 Halloween Countdown - yay!

Edit: It's Sunday. Keep posting.

My saturday nights usually suck. Oh how I envy people with social lives…

So, to kick off the halloween related shit, what do you guys without social lives plan to do fer halloween? Thankfully I haven’t exhausted my money beforehand, so I am in the middle of constructing a Cthulhu costume. The wings and tentacles are a bitch, though.

Matt! I enjoyed your contribution to Progressive Boink! Hooray!

The reason I don’t nowadays is because all my friends are pretty much gone since we all graduated this june.

I may try to do something cool this Halloween, like take my girlfriend to some of the scary things they plan in my town, like the haunted corn maze. That’s usually pretty badass.

Now that I’ve graduated from college (and am, by extension, an old, old man) I plan on sitting around at home on Halloween, scaring children who happen by. You know, more than usual. Although I do plan on putting something spooky on the door of my apartment. Like a cardboard spider. Or perhaps a pumpkin. Or a severed head.

I’m stuck at work all night…which means I’ll be in and out of here all night. Whoot! I never saw NoES II, but I did watch a movie called "Freaked" the other night. Interesting, to say the least…anyone else ever seen it? Oh, and feel free to click on my name.

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 09/03/2005 3:35 PM

Freaked is a classic, and Alex Winter is a GENIUS.

Who’s pulling for Bill and Ted 3?

In regards to Halloween plans: I have been put in charge of decorating the office, which means that this children’s toy company is going to emanate the stench of death for the entire month of October. I’m looking for a skeleton or two. Luckily my friend Chris, who drives a hearse, just got a job here, so that should help with the ambiance. Outside of work, I’m not sure what I’ll be doing…but the girl I’ve been seeing lately has a bunch of ideas, so we’ll see. All I know is that if I don’t eat at least two handfuls of candy corn and candy pumpkins, it’ll be a wasted Halloween.

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 09/03/2005 3:50 PM

Oh yes – Bill and Ted 3 would be the greatest thing since…uh…Bill and Ted 2. Which I’ve never seen. But I loved the first one.

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 09/03/2005 3:52 PM

Dang! There’s a showing of Godzilla:Final Wars tonight at 8pm in my town. No way I’ll make it back in time for the group film-a-thon!

Chestnuts roasted by Jenno @ 09/03/2005 3:53 PM

No Encore on my cable system, damn me. Maybe I’ll buy a Freddy mask and that Pizza Slice costume from Wally-world and run around town tonight. "Freddy’s your hand-tossed now, baby!"

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 09/03/2005 3:54 PM

I have no idea what I’ll be doing for Halloween this year. Since I’m not currently taking college courses I’ll probably have time to do something this year… but what?

I’ll probably end up on candy distribution duty again this year. That’s fine with me–it guarantees me an assload of free candy and gives me the option to dress up if I want to.

I’m so unmotivated though, about pretty much everything. Maybe something will pop up to spark my Halloween passion this year. I hope so.

Chestnuts roasted by Night_Trekker @ 09/03/2005 5:02 PM

I think I’m going to take a break from X-E. I hate Halloween and Christmas (indifferent to thanksgiving). Sorry to be a downer.

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 09/03/2005 5:15 PM

*GASP!* You don’t mean that! Do you, dohopoki?

(sound of kingklash running off to stick his head in a bucket of candy corn until the numbness passes)

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 09/03/2005 5:23 PM

Well, seeing as I have no power and no cable due to Katrina (I am currently at work soaking up AC and internet) I will not be watching any TV tonight. However as a Nightmare fan, I can say that 2 is my least favorite. That’s how many times I’ve seen it. 2.

Chestnuts roasted by violetdied @ 09/03/2005 5:27 PM

See I always liked the idea of 2. That being said, I would have liked it more if 2 was the last one. Then it’d be more acceptable. With that, too, being said. I like all the others better.

The one thing I always wanted to see though would be Freddy just watching people’s dreams to find out their fears. That would be creepier to me than him outright killing you. Just knowing he is watching would give me quite the case of the willies.

Chestnuts roasted by AJ @ 09/03/2005 5:52 PM

(from the depths of the bucket)
Especially if you realize he’s also watching your sexy dreams!

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash with a nose-full of candy corn and one of those pumpkin-shaped candies @ 09/03/2005 5:56 PM

I don’t think all that candy’s good for your sinuses, but then again, I’m not a doctor.

Chestnuts roasted by violetdied @ 09/03/2005 6:00 PM

I wonder if he stole people’s women from their sexy dreams to keep himself satisfied. That’s what I’d do.

Chestnuts roasted by AJ @ 09/03/2005 6:01 PM

My grandparents lived on an Elm Street when I was a kid, right next door to a big, scary house. Having said that, you can imagine why I never got into those movies… But it does beg the question, what was the scariest dream you ever had?

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Boligarky @ 09/03/2005 6:15 PM

I dreamt I was married to Kathy Griffin and she just didn’t stop talking. Ever. And then my head exploded.

Scariest dream ever. And 100% not a lie, either.

Chestnuts roasted by AJ @ 09/03/2005 6:26 PM

Well, for halloween this year I’m thinking of going out trick or treating in a crazy elaborate costume that hides my true age. Seeing as how I’m well over trick or treating age, I want to fool people into thinking I’m some crazy kid. Plus, free candy, boo ya! I’m also seriously considering going to this http://www.valleyoffear.com . It’s some huge haunted house/hayride/corn maze in bucks county PA and it has a pretty good website.

I had this one dream one time that I was chasing these little kids from robbing a gap store. I chased them through these caverns and stuff and eventually we got to a field. On the other side of the field was a wooded area and as I saw the kids approach the wooded area from the other side, I saw a couple of the trees getting knocked over and the kids looking at what was coming with awe. It was this jacked mother on a huge crane wearing kickass sunglasses and a bulletproof vest that had painted on the front "The Suburban". He then proceded to ruin thier shit by hitting them with the crane. By the way, did I mention this was the most badass dream I ever had?

Chestnuts roasted by Tenacious Tate @ 09/03/2005 6:39 PM

Had a dream with Freddy in it once. It wasn’t scary. It was kind of ridiculous. I was driving him down my street in a blue hatchback.

Chestnuts roasted by violetdied @ 09/03/2005 6:46 PM

Once dreamt of a toy from M.A.S.K. and when I awoke I ran to the pantry, where in my dream I’d left it, and was extremely disappointed to not find it waiting for me.
