'Sup, Dudes!?
In honor of Halloween, what is the scariest thing you can think of?
For me, it's probably my sister, Billie the Sk8er Girl. Her existence is just one of the most disturbing things known to Man, don't you think? I mean, I don't even have to give you reasons, because they're obvious. You can just tell that she's untrustworthy. Younger siblings always are…
That actually makes me wonder…Siobhán and Séamus are twins, right? Well, which one of them do you think is older? For some reason, I think it's probably Séamus. I should ask the two of them…Maybe that can be what next week's episode is about, instead of thinking about things like elections and whatnot…That'll be good…Lots of TBNABBSADB (tits, but no ass, because Brian sucks at drawing butts).
It sure is convenient that modern technology means I only had to write and format that parenthetical once, and machines will just automatically recreate it now for anyone's rich-text-reading pleasure!
You know what would be nice? Fun Halloween activities for people who (a) are too old to Trick-or-Treat, (b) have no money, and (c) realize that booze and drugs are stupid. There needs to be something for a free spirit who wants to dress up and have fun with her hipster pal, topless friends, and maybe even her weird family. (Oh, and the military-industrial complex.) Sure, you can watch movies or have a game night, but that isn't special to Halloween…Plus, then you have to provide food, which is expensive, and none of you have money for that, and it's all just a bit of a letdown…
Halloween is the best holiday, but it also gets a little boring sometimes when you're no longer a little kid but you're also not in the mood to squirt out new little kids (which just kinda makes my skin crawl to think about, if we're being honest).
Of course, there's always answering the door to hand out candy for Trick-or-Treaters. That can be fun! Just don't be a jerk to people, and if you're an adult man between 5' and 5'6", maybe let someone who isn't a disgruntled turd be on Candy Duty. We don't need you harassing 9-year-olds for already being taller than you.
What about you? Do you have any fun, low-cost Halloween activities you like to do? Maybe some solo activities would be good, too, if you have them. Let me know at my email (Sk8erLibby@Gmail.com), and be sure to put "OKAY TO REPRODUCE" up at the top (or in the subject), so that I can share them in next week's Scribb1e. It won't solve things for people this Halloween, but maybe 2025 and beyond will be that much more awesome for people!
Seriously, please send your suggestions! I bet they'll be like Frosted Flakes—Grrrrreat! Also, don't do drugs, and maybe consider not wearing a shirt? It works for Séamus and Siobhán…Maybe it'll work for you! Just remember that we're heading into cold months (in the Northern Hemisphere), and the Topless Twins get away with that by virtue of being fictional characters and too hot to get cold. If you're not both of those things, you may face a severe case of FYTO (freezing your tits off).
Okay, this has been quite the Scribb1e. I didn't really mean to go all these places with my words, but I did. So it goes when you're the best, smartest, most creative and talented Sk8er Girl in the universe! Please come again, but before you go, please be kind and rewind! :-)
(Anna Log asked me to include that last part—including the smiley emoticon with the nose…I can't claim to fully get the joke, but there you go!)
