LFW – yeah, Bubby’s definitely looks better in those pics!
Sup Cgar!
Next Halloween I’m putting on blackface. I’ll probably be some well known black person. Like Samuel L Jackson or something. I’ll get a big afro wig and put on blackface and generally dress to look like Samuel L Jackson. Or maybe the pimp from I’m Gonna Get You Sucka.
I’ll go out with a black friend dressed in whiteface.
Over / under on my getting my ass kicked by the end of the night?
Tons of trick-or-treaters on my block! We figure we gave away prolly $100 worth of candy! Also noticed that the trick-or-treating started much earlier this year, due to being on a weekend day.
CH Park was more crowded than ever, not sure the “parade” ever “paraded”—seemed like it never got to that point. I might skip it next year, it’s getting too big.
Need Wedding Views?
Try the Brooklyn Navy Yard;
Steiner Studios
The Hospital had it’s yearly ball there
last year.
Fantastic views of the Williamsburg and LES.
trick or treating with kids;
best treat: bag of cheeze doodles which I ate
best trick: explaining away why daddy was entitled
to eat the cheeze doodles which were meant for littlegirllegion. 😉

At least during halloween, we should be able to expect political correctness be tossed aside. This country has become far too politically correct.
