From the previous thread:
Quote:
I love cats too, and I despise anyone who would harm a cat or dog. I'm sorry that happens in Ireland, sum1. I've never heard of that happening here on Halloween, at least not as long as I've been alive. Even the urban myth of razor blades in apples has never actually happened, at least not any recorded injuries from anyone eating one. I'm glad nothing happened to your cat. I wish they respected Halloween more over there the way we do here. It's supposed to be about fun, unless you're a Druid, in which case it's the Samhain harvest celebration. But that sadistic stuff is frowned upon here. __________________

There was a time when people got firecrackers shoved in their letter boxes, into the house. The "trick" in "Trick or Treat" was originally meant to imply "Give us a treat or we'll play a trick on you." Like let the air out of your car tires or throw a brick through the window.
Firecrackers are illegal in Ireland, but the police don't enforce it. Last edited by sum1; 11-02-2017 at 12:01 PM |

Well, Halloween is gone. What's next to talk about?

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. And because my team is doing so well, I'll also have the NFL Football season and the Playoffs to talk about.

Your team? You own them? Or are you the manager? Or one of the players? How are they your team?

My city's team, okay? I'm from the Philadelphia area, so the Eagles are my team in that they represent my city and area. I live outside the city in the suburbs, specifically.

You've got eagles flying about Philadelphia? Do they eat the cream cheese?

I'm not aware of the bald eagle's diet. And no, but we get a lot of pigeons.
Philadelphia is where the Declaration of Independence was signed? The Eagle is the national symbol of the USA? Get it? I know you do, you're just being facetious. And I have to go to bed now, sum1. Daylight Savings Time ends today and we set our clocks back, so I'm gonna catch up on that extra hour before I have to go into work tomorrow morning. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight and sleep well! __________________

Did they eat cream cheese when they were sigining the Declaration of Independence? Did they get cream cheese smudges on the document? Did an eagle crap on it? You have to watch it with birds. They seem to think it's perfectly reasonable to crap in mid-air and not bother where it falls.
Goodnight. |

Benjamin Franklin wanted a turkey as the national symbol instead of an eagle. Would have tasted better.

Yes, I know. But a turkey would've ended up being a bit of a joke. Although now it's getting me hungry.
Well, we're back to Standard Time, and Daylight Savings Time is over. Now the long slog through the holidays, then the winter months, and finally to Spring. __________________
