Well, I certainly shouldn't expect that too many people are around this Saturday night considering my own disappearing act, but if you're here, feel free to comment. What a weird Halloween season. I know it can't just be me. I'm off to find my macabre mojo for a while, but I'll be back later.

The Great Pumpkin was watching out for me today, it was our first anniversary, and it was cloudy, cold, and thundering nearly all day!!! Normally here in Colorado, its sunny. We get like 320 days of sun a year or some rediculous amount! Today, it felt truly Halloweeny, and it was our first anniversary to boot! Yea!

It has felt weird this year, but I think the closer we get to Halloween, the better we will all feel!

Where can someone buy dry ice???

I’m sorry, Squee :( My condolences.

Ok, so I’m off to bed then. Check in with you folks tomorrow. One last thing before I go; on the popcorn front, I’ve always enjoyed Paul Newman’s, although I think I might be more of an Orville man, myself. I did pick up some Jiffy Pop the other day though. I’ve never tried it, and I’m looking forward to trying it out. I’m actually saving it till I sit down and watch the 20th Anniversary Monster Squad DVD I got not too long ago. Figure I’ll sit down and just make a whole little thing of it. It’ll be just the cutest little thing you ever did see. Hell, maybe I’ll even get bold and ask a girl over to share the experience with me. That’s right, ladies. Jiffy Pop and Monster Squad. Settle down, now. There’s enough to go around…

Ok, then. Goodnight. I gotta be at work at 7:30 in the damn morning tomorrow. I tell ya, spending my Saturday nights on the SNT and going to bed at 12:30. Jiffy Pop. Monster Squad. This rock and roll lifestyle is killing me.

Today I watch the Penuts Halloween cartoon with my little girl, and we made a foam haunted house. Tomorrow well be going to the Haunted clinic they set up for the season, so things may start looking “Grimmer” I hope.

Some one mentioned religion on a post, thats funny cus my friends and I were discussing what would happen if the Pope came out and said Christianity was a big hoaks. How would that affect the world?

I’m agreeing with all the non-Halloween spirit lately.

First of all, I’m pissed that the weather’s been getting cooler. The sweatshirt I have on now reminds me of Christmas than Halloween. I don’t know why.

I wanna get into the Halloween spirit, but I just don’t feel that…spark. I haven’t gotten the Halloween Jones Sodas, not many costume ideas, and I’m flatlining on pumpkin goodness. Hell, I think I listened to the new jukebox I think twice, I need to improve this.

I wish Nickelodeon would get into the Halloween spirit. I miis Nick-Or-Treat. I miss Rocko’s Modern Life’s special, I miss Doug’s, I (really) miss Invader Zim’s, hell, I miss the original Rugrats halloween episode (with the introduction of Reptar Bars). I remember the pilot of “Ahhh! Real Monsters” premiring during a Nick-or-Treat marathon!

And on the subject, yesterday (Friday) I caught the ultimate Halloween pokemon: Giratina, the Ghost/Dragon Legendary!

Yes, I waited so damn long to catch it, and he kicks so much ass. I still need a Spiritomb, though. Like everyone else, I don’t have the patience nor the popularity to talk to 32 people in the Underground.

Squee: Our collective condolences on your shitty week. :(

Invader Norbert
If you’re pissed about the cold weather, come down here to Texas. High today was 89. Ugh. I’ll be happy when it gets down to the 70s…

I have to wonder if Halloween REALLY used to “start” this early or we are all just rememebering what was really only 3-4 days (a week at most) of *Halloween* stuff on TV as a whole month of stuff. Childhood memories are funny things, you know…

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 10/14/2007 12:33 AM

Norbert, I can breed you a Spiritomb, man.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 10/14/2007 12:40 AM

I told the others, they didn’t believe me. You’re all doomed. You’re all doomed.

Dark, dark! The horror of darkness, like a shroud, wraps me and bears me on through mist and cloud. It’s finally starting to feel like halloween!

Halloween season is finally starting to feel like Halloween! Temps have plummeted, and the crisp air makes it feel just right.
Also, used to live near Crystal Lake, would swim in it every summer!

Stupid Pokemon Diamond. I spent like 3+ hours yesterday soft resetting to try to get a shiny Drifloon (I love that Pokemon so much) but, alas, nothing. That and I’ve been trying to PokeRadar/Chain a shiny Mareep all week. I fail :( But atleast I’ll have tons of free time on the road to breed and EV train a bunch of pokemon to decimate anyone who wants to challenge me *cackle*

Also, my friend just left, so I put in The Never Ending Story because NONE of my friends like the movie for some reason…

Chestnuts roasted by Brian @ 10/14/2007 12:49 AM

Thank you, Raechel, for actually feeling it. I’m not kidding, the mood table is a fantastic idea. Even if you don’t actually set one up, surround yourself with the shit that would go on it, if you did.

I’ve got squeeze skulls, barrels of Edgar & Ellen slime, scary video games and movies. Just surround yourself with what makes you feel it.

Oh, and we have the sodas and the party will be in short order. Jones REPRESENT!!!

Fortunately, I don’t care about shinys. Mainly because for the most part, they screw up the color of pokes I love. I don’t want a Green Minun. Though, a pink Pachy. Hmm.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 10/14/2007 12:54 AM

I’m just a lameass treasure hunter, that’s all. I spend half my game time down in the Underground…you should see my collection of stones and fossils. Back in the days of Silver I soft resetted over 350 times for a shiny Ho-Oh…so pretty. If you chain a certain shiny, you can often find multiples and I want several shiny Mareep…so I can breed, and so I can level one to 100 without evolving it and name it Cotton Candy because its PINK!!

Ampharos is my favorite :)

Chestnuts roasted by Brian @ 10/14/2007 12:59 AM

When I first got access to the underground, I was down there for a good solid week. I got all the stones I needed to evolve the D/P pokes (this generation is my first, so I wanted them all; and I will have them all–I’ve already got all the Pearl exclusives, Palkia, Spiritomb, and Manaphy, so I’m set as soon as I finish the story) and haven’t been back down since :(

Ahhh, the SNTs going to mutate into Poke-land again.

Chestnuts roasted by Raechel @ 10/14/2007 1:20 AM

Shitty weeks…. my girlfriend is being a pain in the ass. I’m convinced all australian women are crazy. It’s cold and rainy here. I’ve a migraine and no vicodin. I stole my brother’s kidney (literally).

And my mustang is in shop at Ford for the next week.

I fell off a motorcycle that was stopped in a parking lot.

I can’t play scary video games in the dark, especially ones with zombies. And especially if I am alone.

BUT… I have superman icecream and I just laughed my ass off watching Death Proof.

Ok, no more vents ever. I promise.

You say that like it’s a bad thing :P

Man, sorry to hear about everybody’s kinda blah Halloween season. I’ve been having a pretty good Halloween. Tonight went to a haunted house (click the link). It was pretty scary. I’m a sucker for these things, though. I scream like a little girl. People were being led out through the emergency experts, kids were crying. . .in short, it was pretty great. The big money shot was, of course, at the end. out of the darkness comes a guy with a pig mask (or whatever it is) like Amanda wears in Saw (sorry if that’s an obscure reference) and starts up the chainsaw. I screamed, elbowed my friend in the face, and ran as fast as I could. . .right into the second chainsaw wielding maniac. Good stuff.

Got a copy of Wrong Turn 2, which has been getting some surprisingly positive reviews. Haven’t watched it yet, but I think that’s next on the agenda.

Hope the season kicks it up a notch for everybody. The weather is pretty Halloweenie here. That definitely helps.

Kneg, that would be awesome. Too bad that I don’t have immediate access to WiFi so it’ll be really difficult to synchronize our trade. SN is Norbert5ca, I should be on now.

Name your Poke, I can get one. I have multiples of all the fossil pokemon. Aerodactyls? Yes! Kabutos, Omanytes, Aroriths? Yep!

I can also get you any of the last 9 starters, thanks to Gamesharking the originals in Emerald, then Pal Parking them. I don’t plan to use the originals if they are found to be hacked, but I know getting them bred is a legit way of getting them.

For stones: When you get National Dex, the stones get a LOT more common. And I mean a lot. I’ve gotten at least 20 water stones alone, even if only 5 pokemon evolve from it. Thunderstone’s the second most useless of the Evolution Stones, evolving only Eevee and Pikachu, even if both Jolteon & Raichu kick serious ass. The most useless? Definately the Sun Stone. Only evolves Sunkern to Sunflora & Gloom to Bellossom. They totally could’ve reused it for Gallade & Frosslass (Dawn Stone)!

As for Shinys…I say they’re not worth it. Too big odds. You’re morel ikely to win the $50 in the McDs Monopoly game than legitimately findong a Shiny. My friend, however, legitimately found a shiny Machoke colored gold, and is now a Shiny Machamp.

I took a trip to Wal-Mart last night to see if they had any new Halloween stuff. I nearly giggled like a school girl when I saw the skull/zombie melting candles Matt wrote about! I started opening up boxes finding only skulls in the first dozen or so, then I started finding zombies! “Hazzah!”, I exclaimed. So I had to pick up one of each…so freakin’ awesome.

I don’t know if, or when I’ll have an incling to actually fire up either of the bad boys. They just look too cool. On the other hand, they would look way cooler with waxy blood oozing from their ocular sockets and other orifices.

I also stumbled upon the most bad ass skull goblets I have ever seen in my life at Kroger during my excursion last night. Kroger for crying out loud! Their usual fare consists of happy pumpkins and giant bags of bite size Snickers bars.

It was an awesome trip to say the least!

Happy SNT everybody! And happy Halloween!!!

Chestnuts roasted by Justin @ 10/14/2007 1:28 AM

Oh yeah, I was inspired by Matt to construct my own Halloween Mood Table with some of my newly acquired garb. Along with some seasonal candles and a bowl of FunSize Twix, my goblets and waxy bodiless friends boost up the festiveness by 3 points on the Official Halloween Point Scaleâ„¢ that I just made up. I’m up to 3 points so far.

Chestnuts roasted by Justin @ 10/14/2007 1:36 AM

It’s not necessarily a bad thing… just an un-understood thing. I’ve never understood the fascination… but, then again, I’ve never played one of the Pokemon games.
I tend to let games consume me, so it’s probably for the best, anyway!

Chestnuts roasted by Raechel @ 10/14/2007 1:36 AM

My shiny hunting is really only for bragging rights. The real money lies in EV/IV breeding and team building. I can’t wait to create an all-mighty, all-powerful machine team and then invite my little brother over for a Pokemon Battle Revolution showdown. Once I get a Wii that is.

When they make the follow up to the Wii…it should be called the Wii Wii. LAWLZ

Chestnuts roasted by Brian @ 10/14/2007 1:37 AM

Oh, sorry to DP, but I’m watching Wishmaster 2 on ThrillerMax
