For example, I hate clowns. I just do not like them. There's something naturally evil apparent in the forever-smiling, pan-caked-makeupped denizens of childhood hilarity. I refuse to talk to a clown. They scare me. I think my natural dislike for costumes comes directly for my natural hatred for clowns.
That would lead me to not like Halloween. It's true. I don't like Halloween. It's a time where you can be someone else for a night and it's socially acceptable, but I don't like pretending I'm someone else. I don't like costumes and more than anything, I hate hell-spawned funny-things called clowns. I don't even like to drink. It's not a good night for me.
But, it is a good time for thrift stores. More money for thrift stores means more money for the lower classes. In that aspect, I can live with Halloween. I will go up-town tonight, watch drunk people, clap my hands over my ears before I get sensory overload, and try my best to enjoy it. Maybe I can even be able to stand a clown or two, as long as they got their costume from a thrift store. Let's not assume too much though, I still hate clowns.
So anyway, for all my bickering, I still bid ye all to have a great, safe Halloween.

Josh,
ReplyDeleteI used to HATE clowns when I was a kid. They absolutely terrified me. In that respect, I feel your pain. But I like how you tied Halloween into thrift stores. In this town, that's an interesting connection to make.
I have to say, I live on Court Street (so I had the opportunity to watch all of the crazies run around all day) AND went out last night, and between all of that Halloween action, I didn't see a SINGLE clown. I hope you had the same luck!
