halloween sucks

[substitute]

for the following reasons:

1. Excess candy consumption
   
2. Adults stealing kids' holiday
   
3. Excess beer consumption
   
4. Auto vs. Pedestrian/Pediatric trauma
   
5. Stupid costumes at work
   
6. Increasingly gory and bizarre front yard displays (hanged man, tombstone) in my suburban neighborhood
   
7. Lame-ass ad tie-ins for every product (mattresses, used cars) just like at Christmas
   
8. Mallgoths
   
9. "Vampires"
   
10. Teenagers "trick or treating" by doing what they always do (drinking, having sex on the lawn) except in lame costumes
    

This concludes my scroogey rant.

You will be visited by three spirits before the night is over:

The ghost of laundry-closet Halloween ghost costumes

The ghost of Teenage Wiccans Whining About How "They" Stole "Our" Holiday

and Space Ghost!
