Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 10-31-2004 09:58 AM                    quote: Jennifer Pan that commemorates the spooky man who cut his veins and poured his HIV positive blood into the ketchup dispensers at McDonald's. Is that for real??  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 10-31-2004 10:07 AM                        It's quite possible but I don't have anything to confirm it. Suggestion... always use the little ketchup packages.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: California, U.S.A.

Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-31-2004 06:22 PM                     I thought my close friends, Randy and Aundrea, were the only ones with a wedding anniversary on Halloween. Aundrea chose the day specifically. She's a big fan of The Cure and into some alternative religions.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-31-2004 10:56 PM                     My wife and I don't have kids but we enjoy halloween Trick-or-Treating anyway. We both sit on the steps, pass out treats, do a few magic tricks. (Halloween IS "National Magic Day", doncha' know!) We also keep up an unofficial "Neighborhood Watch". We live in a house that's on the corner of two streets. We've got a good, strategic view in two different directions. So, we sit on the steps and enjoy watching the kids while we watch OUT FOR the kids. This year we had a little fun: Some schmuck took it upon himself to go around scaring the kids. No, I don't mean that it was some teenage punk chasing after the neighbor kids. It wasn't some drunk asshole running around yelling, "Booga-Booga!" It was a grown man in a "Quasi-Batman" style outfit with a black mask and cape going around the neighborhood acting like he was trying to catch kids! People screaming and running and all that, from what I heard! So I grabbed the cell phone and headed around to the neighbors' houses to pass the word out. My wife headed inside to make sure the "Smith and Wesson Security System" was "in working order". Now, that last sentence may cause you some alarm but let me assure you: It would NEVER be used unless it was necessary to prevent harm. Also, you might wonder why I left my wife alone while I went walking around the streets at night... She knows how to handle a weapon. She's at LEAST as good a shot as I am, if not better! She stayed at home where she could lock the doors and call the cops, if necessary while I went out to spread the word and/or gather information. Anyway, I heard from another neighbor that the cops picked up some guy a couple streets over from us. We assume they collared the bastard. We don't know until later when we have a chance to read the news and check in with other neighbors. It's good to know that "Mutual Aid and Defense" still works in this country!  |  IP: Logged Trevor Bailey Expert Film Handler Posts: 113 From: Woonsocket, RI Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-01-2004 01:55 AM                        Happy B-day Paul. I too, share this lovely day...and worked 12 hours...just got home. Strange thing about October: I know 5 people who have birthdays in the last half of the month and one is only 5 days older than me. Kind of spooky... . . . . . . . Not really...I just think people try to get cuddly and warm during the cold winter months...and nine months later: SNAP!  |  IP: Logged Jeff Akin Film Handler Posts: 48 From: Salem, OR, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 11-01-2004 02:49 AM                        Nothing like Halloween birthdays. My sister's birthday is today, and so is my nephew's. Scary thing about my nephew: Born on Halloween, named Damian, and has a large birthmark on his head. To top that all off, he's a very devout Roman Catholic. Even speaks Latin.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-01-2004 03:13 AM                        2 cousins of mine have birthdays that fall on Halloween. I fail to grasp why nobody on this forum has wished them Happy Birthday. I mean that's just plain rude!  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!
