Matt, is there another email we can use to send you funny halloween stuff? I scanned a small pamphlet and tried to send it as a 125k pdf, but it bounced. Thanks!
Okay guys, I’ve got a little story. For years my room has been the coldest one in the house and I’ve been pestering my dad to look at the vent and see what’s going on. My room is seriously like 10 or more degrees colder than the rest of the house in the winter because nothing comes out of the vent. So I come home from school tonight and my mom says: "Look in the garbage and see what we found." So I do, and it’s this dark dirty square thing. I’m like: "Wallpaper? What?" and so I pick it up, and it’s a filthy, brown, curled-up Muppet Babies book! I opened it up to see how old it is, and there’s an Oral-B coupon that expired in 1989. A 16 year old book has been blocking my vent for almost the same length of time. I couldn’t believe it! The things you find when things get done…

I can’t carry on. Stupid Astros break my heart and still my sleep again.

Muppet, I vote for the Simpsons, just because I don’t think old Chuck is going to hold the attention of jaded 17 year olds.
I personally prefer I Love the 70′s, actually. I do agree that the commenters are most enthusiastic about the 80′s and least about the 90′s. They rerun those things into oblivion though, so it’s no good excuse for skipping the Great Pumpkin…they’re only going to keep showing the holiday specials if people are watching

Man, before I move out of this apartment, I’m going to leave a book in MY vent. Except instead of a Muppet Babies book, I’m going to fill a journal with a hand-written tale of encroaching madness and possible supernatural horror. Now I just need to learn a suitably unsettling form of runic or sanskrit or something to write the last "chapter" in…
Muah ha ha ha haaaaa.

I wanna be Dan Fielding for Halloween.
Carry around a blow-up doll and wear expensive suits.
Not to mention all the hair mousse

LuLu – I agree that the story lines are getting a little too heavy on GG, but i think they are going to be wrapped up within the next 2 episodes. and the rory/sex issue was tackled long before this, so that won’t be dwelled on.
as for supernatural, i try to watch it because jensen ackles is the hottest thing on earth, but it really scares the life out of me. i’ve come to realize that the older i get, the less i enjoy being scared. especially when i live alone in an apartment in the city. i’m a big giant wuss.
now on to more halloweenie things… i was at the grocery store last night getting my pumpkin and i saw what could only be called THE saddest halloween candy display on the planet. 4 small (and when i say small, i’m talking webster would be a giant next to these bastards) card tables scattered with a couple boxes of shitty candy. i cried a little.

My Question: Should we watch "It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" OR Some Simpsons Halloween Episodes?
I too vote for Simpsons, simply because there’s currently 15 of them. (16 on…November 6?!) Especially if you have either:
1) The THoH DVD
2) Seasons 2-6 on DVD with the first 5 of them (4 & 5 were two of the best ones)
Charlie Brown is good too, with the lame wishy-washy pumpkin-headed character they could probably relate with. And they should use those rocks that they get to throw at Lucy for the prior football incident, to channel Matt’s first Great Pumpkin article. But I just can’t say no to a Treehouse of Horror marathon.
And for all you Animaniacs/Pinky & The Brain fans out there, good news! The link on my name will tell you all.
Hell yeah! I’m all about Animaniacs on DVD…mid-2006 is a long way away though Now they’ve just got to get started on the Freakazoid set and all will be right with the world.

I’m still holding out hope for Tiny Toon Adventures…
My Halloween vacation starts at 5 o’clock today! I’m off to buy a fog machine and fog juice as a Halloween gift for my sister and her brood. My boyfriend wants to get one to put under his bed for special occasions. Like watching Psyched by the 4-D Witch, Gutter-brains!

Jedoc, that is just wrong. you could also leave a few drops of blood or some scratches in some strange places. Now if I ever find some old book i’ll burn it and put out the fire in holy water. still works if your not catholic right?

Went for another job interview today–they asked for references, which never happened at my other interviews. That’s a good sign.
You wanna know how bored I am in an attempt to find a job??? I sat and organized all 218 songs in my iPod nano into playlists (50s/60s/70s, 80s/90s, New Millenium, Christmas, and Comedy). If I get this job, at least I’ll be busy all day.
Lisa Marie, glad I jogged your memory of Jaws 3D. How awful was that?
Ekkostar, if someone dressed as Dan Fielding, Bull, or Judge Harry Stone showed up at my house, they’d get an extra piece of candy for the effort!!!
Muppet Baby, a vote for the Simpsons. Charlie Brown is a feel-good special, therefore, these kids may be completely disenchanted by the whole experience. A small portion of the kids in my high school probably would have been all over Charlie Brown. But, all of us would have wanted to watch The Simpsons. Or both.
Jedoc, that would be a fascinating item to leave. Someone would want to move out after seeing that. "Today, as I slip even further into the depths of complete insanity, I continue argue with the voices in my head as to what token of my presence I should leave in my humble abode…" Jedoc, I smell a "major award"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man, I missed out on the Charlie Brown special! Oh well, at least reading this thread did bring me one bit of good news…Animaniacs on DVD! Woo!
remember the Charlie Brown’s Great Pumpkin, I watched it many many years ago. I also remember poor Linus, I have him waiting the Great Pupkin in my Snoopy Great Books of Questions and Asnwers (Spain version) I love those books! They are more than 20 years with me!!
Jedoc’s notebook will end with the handwriting getting more and more sloppy and chaotic, maybe suddenly changing to crayon or burnt matchstick. Then in grand pulp/shlock tradition, suddenly trailing off into one long squiggle while trying to describe some entitiy in the same room as the author. Add some mystery stains, singe the edges of the book, and of course, write on the cover or first page, "If you’re holding this book, it may be too late!"
