Halloween in Devon

Normy stocked up on chocalate bars, mickeys and smokes to hand out to the local kids this evening. Time will tell if we get any kids besides the pair that continue to come by asking for their little buddy. It will also be interesting to see how long it will take before the jack-o-lanterns on the front step get smashed. I've been amazed at how quiet this little corner of Devon is so I am going to say they will last the night and possibly the weekend. I'll keep you posted.

So we had our annual Halloween party at the club on Saturday. The party also doubled as a celebration for our Provincial Championship win (26-7 over the Trojans). I shaved my playoff beard into a moustache and went as a very half-assed Magnum PI. It was mostly half-assed because Normy wouldn't come as TC which was really going to be the kicker. He decided not to press his costume luck after winning the best costume contest at the club the night before by wearing an old rug and smiling. He still doesn't know why he won but he's got the new Ford jacket to prove it. Wear it with Pride TC, wear it with pride.

Although my sweet tooth does love this time of year, my favourite part of Halloween, by far, are the hilarious situations that people in costumes can get themselves into. Any Saturday at the end of October there is a very real possibility that you will actually have a conversation with a man dressed up as a woman. You may also see a clown get arrested or drunken Elvis walking up the street hand in hand with a sexy devil(sexy nurse, sexy cowgirl, sexy kitty, sexy cheerleader etc. - a solid argument could be made that if Valentine's Day is a Hallmark Holiday then Halloween is a WonderBra holiday, not that I'm complaining) I remember working at the clubhouse a couple of years ago while dressed up as a 80's Maritime Rocker (think Haywire)when a fight broke out. The fight was between a Viking and a Dirtbag and started thanks to Cinderella flirting too much. My memory is foggy but I think Scotty was dressed up as Robin (as in Batman &) and he was the first to arrive on the scene. The Viking and the Dirtbag wouldn't let each other go so a Saltwater Cowboy (Bardsley) started using the Viking's sword to beat their hands to release their grip. Once shit calmed down I couldn't help but laugh at the whole scene. And the best part is that this was a staff party for a local company. Classy.

I'm just glad we didn't let that Superman vs. Jesus fight happen outside of Dolan's last year. The ramifications of that tilt are hard to overstate. Luckily the sexy Wonder Woman came along and calmed things down. Always on duty.

Happy Halloween!

Spooky
