    It'll be awhile. My best friend and I used to watch them and play StarCraft when he came to town, it took 4 or 5 years to get through them. He was just here and for grins we played some StarCraft. I mentioned we should start through B5 again next time he visits.

    Now that I think about it there were a couple movies too, or was that Firefly. Or both; anyway I have the movies too.

    I remember that scene. I've watched the whole series twice. We used to get together, several of us geeks, have a lan party and watch B5 for breaks.

    I'll get the disks out and watch that episode, soon.

    And the woke seek to use the holiday to push their twisted agendas.

    Twix Releases Halloween Ad About a Boy Wearing Dresses With His Witch Nanny — Forgets to Mention Candy

    It's one thing to sell candy, it's another to use profits from candy to promote this gender dysphoria to grade school aged children.

    I like how the witch uses her powers to attack children whenever she feels they are not fully supportive of her views and lifestyle. First it was the little girls who legitimately were curious why someone dresses like a witch before Halloween, so the "nanny" presents them with a not so veiled threat. then she summons the wind to harm a boy who legitimately thought it looks odd for a boy to be wearing a "princess dress" and a grown woman dressing like the storybook caricature of a witch also looked odd.

    Moral of the ad is, the gender dysphoria crowd disapprove of any views but their own, and they will intimidate and punish you if you do not bend the knee and agree with their views or lifestyle. They do not seem to think there is a legitimate Right to free speech, to express your own opinion, if it disagrees with the left, because if you do they will hurt you, and empower government to do it for them.

    Amazing appearance transformation, eh?

    Lots about recent interviews online. 35% burn scars from childhood.
    Most fascinating was that her highest popularity was
    in "The Bible Belt".

    Do YOU ferigners and YOU know who you are
    even know of or comprende the Elvira archetype ala Jung?

    A uniquely :flagus: Holiday.

    As with all religion-based holidays, the :flagus: version is a cheapened, bastardized, commoditized, hollow rip-off of the original (that almost certainly came from Europe).

    Halloween has been commercialized to the full extent of Capitalism. Not complaining, but it's another commercial day that's roped in the kids and parents.

    I don't consider Halloween a uniquely American holiday but we have put our own unique twist on it.

    For your reading pleasure:

    The History of Halloween
    https://www.americanheritage.com/history-halloween

    For this American, Halloween is a celebration of all the different aspects of the holiday throughout the ages. A festival of the dead, a harvest celebration, the Trick or Treating for the kids and the wild parties for the adults. Next to Christmas it's my favorite holiday.

    Tonight I think I'll drop a few of my favorite Halloween movies in the DVD player, starting with Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow...



    Ouch - That'll leave a mark.

    If I have time I might even catch a little Tucker & Dale vs. Evil....



    Happy Halloween! :D
