dude what is the name of that older kind of fruit by the foot candy that came in longer strands like string but laid down in a white trough and when looked at made shapes?

Not too much going on this Saturday night…

Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas and all the displays-but not until at least mid-November. The stores have every right to push toys and greeting cards and red and green, but don’t candy and orange and black bring in enough cash?

And yeah, I’d just as well wait another month to get into the evil Halloween spirit.

First of all, I have yet to see Halloween stuff anywhere, which makes me very happy. Though it’s much cooler here than it was earlier in the week (thank god, no more humidity!), it’s still fairly warm. It’ll be another month before I start feeling “Halloween-y.”

Like DJ D, I’ve never been a fan of Fruit Roll-Ups. I ate them occasionally as a kid, but they always get stuck between my teeth. Working at a grocery store, I’m familiar with most of the 15,000 versions they have out now. I’ve seen (and sold) the Crazy Pixs, but the Stackers are either unavailable in this area, or I’ve just never paid attention to them before.

I’ve never seen “High School Musical,” but I love musicals, so anything that gets teens into them gets a hall pass from me.

My favorite live-action Disney movies have to be the Kurt Russell (Dexter Riley) movies of the late sixties (Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, Invisible Kid, etc.) I’m sure the adults of the time found them a little annoying… And I am one of the only people I know who actually liked Parent Trap III. (I think it was the only movie to actually star teenage triplets, the Kreel triplets - though for some reason only Monica Kreel ever went on to do any further acting - as a replacement character on Saved By The Bell.)

Yet another reason I love this website and its faithful readers. Finally I am not alone in firmly placing Halloween in my top-two when it comes to my favorite holidays.

In my opinion Christmas does have to claim the number one spot. It is that excuse we need to get together with our family and for whatever reason (magic of the season?) we all have a great time. I guess I can’t really explain it. A part of it is the memories you have from childhood, another part of it is time off work, and, perhaps my favorite now, the idea that I can create those great memories for my kids (when I actually have a few).

Halloween on the other hand has candy (and checking for the razor blades within), costumes, horror movies, and doing your best to gross out little kids with ghastly displays on Oct. 31st.

Yeah, Christmas is number one… but Halloween is not far behind.

I see I’m not the only one annoyed by the entertainment industry’s focus on tweens. American Idol seems like a good idea in theory (giving anyone who wants to sing a chance to do so), but then, so was Communism. (I’ve had this quote floating around in my head for a few weeks now, and have been waiting to use it.)

As for High School Musical, I’m glad I don’t know anything about it. If we’re talking lesser Disney movies, why not The Journey of Natty Gann?

I firmly believe that Halloween IS slowly being wiped out by X-mas… I mean look at Thanksgiving…it pretty much doesn’t EXIST, well, in the eyes of the retail stores. I pretty sure Hobby Lobby pettles a bunch of TG crap. But being that Halloween is my favorite Holoday, Please…PLEASE…Matt, don’t give in to the massacre of a great holoday and continue the fight with your annual Halo Feast. Don’t give in to that Fat Jolly Chump.
