Questionable Horrification
Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome to another edition of the Friday Q&A. As I'm sure you're aware, Halloween is just a few days away. This spooky season has always been my favorite part of the year, mainly since it's the only time when my outdoor holiday decorations that I refuse to take down are relevant. Though the lights do work just as well at Christmas.
Q: Why do you like Halloween so much?
A: It's one of those holidays that remind me of when I was a kid. I'll bet you can't name another holiday wherein anyone can don a crudely fashioned costume and impersonate a child for the purpose of getting candy. Never mind the awkward moment when someone notices there's a bit too much hair on the knuckles of that hand holding a trick or treat bag.
Q: Isn't trick or treating for kids?
A: Yeah, kids of all ages. The older you get, the more candy you can haul. Here's a tip, try working a car into your costume so you can use it to carry excess loot. For example, you could say you're the Headless Horseman for the 21st century prior to suffering the decapitation that earned his moniker. Or you could say you're a Transformer in vehicle mоde, that way you don't even have to get out of the car.
Q: Why not just buy candy from the store?
A: I'm going to pretend you didn't ask something so stupid. Or actually, I'm going to mock you for it a bit more. BUY candy? From a STORE? Have you seen how bad the economy is? Halloween is my chance to score enough provisions to last until Thanksgiving. Then I can subsist off of fun size Snickers and Zagnut bars.
That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by. Remember, it's never too early to start trick or treating. I've been doing it myself since September. Join me next week, when I'll be offering more tips to have a spooktacular Halloween! Or I might just move on to something else, since this holiday is advertised far enough in advance that most people are sick of it by that time it actually arrives.
Stay tuned for more Christmas fun from the Doctor!
