I'm not feeling Halloween either this year. Pandemic insanity killed it. People were so bored they put out full graveyard displays on Labor Day in 2020. The pumpkins and gourds are the next step in the never-ending arms race.
I’m listening to Ring doorbell stories of how people will take all the candy if you leave it out, and then the next person will take the empty bowl. WTF
Halloween was my favorite holiday. Everyone was drunk, my "costume" was bum and I had a good streak of picking up women on Halloween, but I was usually disappointed when the truth came out the next day, too.
These were college women, and in my later twenties, women in their mid-twenties, and it's unnerving to go to bed with the sexy nurse and wake up the next day surrounded by hundreds of stuffed animals and figurines. and/or tons of religious icons.
In any case, I've turned into the grumpy old drunk who leaves out a bowl of Tums and Aspirin. I still like carving pumpkins, but mainly because I like knife-play (I should've been a surgeon).
I think my favorite thing about this is discovering that you have a TikTok. How are you finding the platform? I've avoided it because I'm becoming old and cranky about new things.
Incidentally, we also decided this would be the year we didn't bother decorating for Halloween.
I’m completely addicted to TikTok and I’m trying to get used to hearing my own voice so I can work up to doing comedy bits. You should pontificate about Star Wars, you could develop a MASSIVE following.
Ha! I barely like writing about Star Wars. Talking about it online would be worse. Fans tend to be enormous assholes. Nerds have become the bullies. Who knew?
Last two visits to Costco, and the oversized, overboxed, over gold-n-silver Christmas decor made me want to opt out of humanity. Can we please just stop manufacturing and selling crap every holiday season? Surely there are enough decorations on the planet to decorate every mansion and hovel three times over?!

This is why we can't have nice things.

Regardless, I'm with you in spirit.
I complain because the kids drop candy on the sidewalks and it’s a dog walking hazard.

There’s probably a lot of attrition due to cats. That’s what happened to most of my decorations.
So many weird looking pumpkins. Do people grow them like that on purpose?
I guess. I can’t decide if some of them are mistakes or they’re supposed to look like that.
