In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
The religious right is motivated by the suspicion that someone, somewhere,
is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.
Halloween costume of the year.
Me, I'm going trick-or-treating as the invisible bond vigilante. Since nobody can see me, that way I won't take any candy away from children, despite what Very Serious People insist.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.

You better get your trick-or-treating in now, since I fear that this tradition will soon come to an end, simply because of how many neighborhoods are trying to ban Halloween. This is either because of religious fundamentalism, or from the fact that so many people are convinced that child molesters are hiding behind every tree and corner when it is their creepy relatives that they should be more worried about rather than strangers.
