 And now that we have that out of the way... I love Hallowe'en. If anything, it's the one time of the year I can walk around town in women's clothing and not get weird looks for it. It's one time of the year that I actually want to eat pumpkin seeds, and give away the candy that my hard earned money paid for. So let's take a look at a few things that make Hallowe'en so special.      Part 1 - Pumpkins On any other day of the year, a pumpkin is just a pumpkin. These pumpkins are used solely for the use of pies, but come Hallowe'en they take on so much more meaning. We get to carve shit into them! That's right, we can take a sharp object and turn that ugly orange sphere into art. I'm not a big fan of the color orange. So I like cutting it. Oh, and what do rednecks do at Hallowe'en? Pump Kin. Part 2 - Costumes Costumes are one of the most important pieces of the Hallowe'en puzzle. I encourage everyone to dress up. I can remember being fourteen or fifteen years old and thinking it wasn't cool to dress up. Then nineteen came around and it was suddenly cool to dress up again. I have had many costumes over the years, including Darth Vader, Superman (like five times), a Ninja Turtle, The Count, Johnny Depp, and even Steve Urkel. But the one that always stands out in my mind is my Livin On The Edge costume from 1998. It took two hours to paint myself, and two hours to get it all off again. And it turned my bath tub grey. These days, one of the best parts of Hallowe'en is seeing super hot chicks dress up as slutty as they can. Hell, a hot chick in a slinky nun costume can even be hot in that weird way. I'm a fan of schoolgirls, cheerleaders, and of course, my personal favorite, the naughty nurse. Don't get me wrong, girls don't have to dress up in slutty costumes to be awesome. My friend Linzi dressed up as a tube of tooth paste last year and it was among my favorite costumes I've ever seen. Part 3 - Trick or Treating Let's face it. The main reason kids dress up on Hallowe'en is for candy. And if you're handing out candy, and you want to be the coolest house in the neighborhood, you'd better have cans of pop or regular size chocolate bars. I'm still a sucker for those Rockets candies, but everyone respected (and kinda feared the awesome power of) the house that gave out cans of pop. Oh, and those little toffee things with the bats on the orange wrap are total shit. Only give those out if you want your puppy kidnapped.      Everyone has their favorite scary movies for the time of the year. I'm not a big horror movie buff... I get scared easily... but I LOVE Sleepaway Camp and recommend everyone to watch it. Also, the Freddy movies are fun, and if you want to get really, really scared you'll dare to watch Fried Green Tomatoes. And if you're wondering about the pics of me on the left... that's a Hallowe'en beer I found at the liquor store called Devil's Pale Ale. It was very okay.
