The true spirit of Halloween. (This pleases me immensely.) http://t.co/75tBkLNHAR
The zipper on my final #frocktober dress has been replaced and appears to be holding. HUZZAH! I’m gonna make it!

@stufromoz @Maab BOOOO! I’m in Sydney and I’m going to wish people a Happy Halloween. Probably while wearing a Boba Fett helmet.
RT @sharonw: Halloween can get really resource-intensive when it falls on a Friday. I needed four separate costumes this year o_o
@stufromoz @Maab *sigh* It always makes me sad when Aussies selectively decide multiculturism sucks for American stuff.
@stufromoz @Maab Halloween is awesome! What’s wrong with costumes and parties and food? Cutting off your nose to spite some Yank faces. 🙂
@stufromoz Uh, nowhere does U.S. claim to be Christian. It’s deliberately NOT in the Constitution. Our head of state is of head of a church.
@stufromoz @Maab The awesome thing is that Halloween came from immigrants. Something the US picked up from them and celebrated.
@stufromoz @Maab Australia could perhaps learn something there. 🙂 (Now no more arguing. I have to get my costume ready!)
@stufromoz Unlike, say, here. #pot #kettle

@stufromoz @Maab Well, you’re not gettin’ an invite to the Totally Rad Halloween BBQ, that’s for sure! 🙂
Odd, I never see Aussie lefties complain about Chinese New Year parade, Parramatta Deepvali Fair, Eid in the Park, etc.
But it took all of six minutes of being awake today to see the “Halloween sucks because it’s American” meme rear its head. 🙁
I mean, I get the “drunken assholes use it as an excuse to be drunken assholes” thing. But that goes for everything, right?
It’s not like I tell my Irish co-worker not to say “Happy St. Patrick’s Day”.
@mobywhale Thank you! I tell @haruki_t and Varun that all the time. 🙂
@gilmae Oh, I see it and I get it. I really do. But you can pry my pumpkin pie out of my cold dead hands! 😛
@gilmae I just don’t get why the solution is banning American stuff instead of encouraging more of everybody’s stuff. I want MORE PARTIES!
@gilmae I always say I’d LOVE to go to Diwali parties and Burns Night parties and Bar Mitzvahs and everything else. Why not?
@gilmae Oh, ignore away! I got all ranty over a silly meme of Batman slapping Robin for even daring to say Happy Halloween in Australia.
@mintie Yes! Exactly! 🙂
@mintie @handmethepanda @gilmae I am with you 100% on coffee.
@gilmae I should start a #halloweengate hashtag. THEYRE TRYIN TO TAKE MAH HALLOWEEN AWAY! 😛
@pinkcatknits Thanks! 🙂
