Halloween!

Halloween is one of those Tier II holidays for me. I'm way too old to trick or treat, but I'm old enough that kids expect me to give them candy. What kind of a rip-off is that? I'm so old, in fact, that the Cub has given up trick or treating. Actually, I think he's going to this year, but this is about it. And he's not excited about it like he was in years past.

And since I moved out the old neighborhood and underneath the mortgage mentioned below, I've been so bereft of a social life that I managed not to go to one halloween party this year. (My usual Halloween party moved to Los Angeles, alas.)

Fortunately, there's one part of Halloween that I can look forward to: Gordon Keith's Halloween Cards! Very, very dark!

Here's my favorite:

Hello Spooky Apparition,
What do you think is scarier, a witch or my sweating PCP fueled body working on top of you? Don’t talk, I’m almost there.
Gordon

This guy's works on The Ticket, the sports station in Dallas. Although he himself doesn't actually care much about sports.

I heard him reading some of these on the air this morning. (They have one of those streaming webcast thingies). They started to read the first one. It went like this:

"Dear Goblin Ghoul, Halloween comes but once a year... Uh, I can't finish this."

Anyway, read on. High quality.

Update: Here's some audio from the show this morning, if you're curious.
