FF:SA Halloween 2004...

That time of year is coming around again. It'll be a first for our newest chapter.

So, is anything happening down here for Halloween?

 

Hi Coyote! I think I was just chatting to you before. I've got that party planned, and it's gunnna be a blast!

 

What party, if i may ask?

 

Party!!!No unathorised parties without Imperial permission

Please fill in request forms in triplicate and apply to your local garrison for proper permission or actions will be taken by the local garrison to close such event!!!




P.S. Have fun but next time Imperial presence will be unavoidable

 

Just another adopted "americanism". Not into it. Whatever happened to not taking stuff from strangers?
DTA !

 

Unfortunately my fellow fanforcers I aren't likely to make it this weekend due to work and the g/f being sick

The good news is that if I end up staying home there might be a website that gets worked on

 

You guys all have fun! And if I do turn up, you'll see the ROTS t-shirt in its full glory

 

I'd just like to remind you all of where Halloween comes from.
the Wickan tradition of All Hallows Eve began thousands of years ago, as a celebration the night before all saints day, during which all evil spirits were kept from the house by the use of talismans and other symbols.

but then, hey, who cares?

I'm with E-I on this one, is it really good to be teaching the kids to be taking lollies from strangers? and to wreck someone elses property if they don't get the lollies?
stupid Americans, stupid Hallmark holidays.

my opinion only.

 

but i LIKE lollies!

 

After my recent bad fortune, anyone messing with my property receives a free hospital visit.

 

I used to think "another Americanism" as well - but hey, here we all are are supporting one of the biggest film franchises the USA has to offer. *shrugs*

But as A-D said, it was all very well organised and in this case in a very close-knit neighbourhood, so the whole stranger thing was not really an issue. There's no reason we can't put an Australian spin in these things anyway. And if you saw how much the kids (big and small ) enjoyed it, then its not really worth worrying about.

If we start celebrating Thanksgiving then I'll get really concerned

 

Actually, I wasn't hosting the party. It was a big outdoor event hosted by my older half-sister, because my Dad's American she was born there and loves Halloween.

I agree DM, not even my Dad practices Thanksgiving anymore. He's an Australian now, and he says that there is no point in celebrating a holiday that sybolises the freedom in America when he lives here. Aussie day's enough for him, and Halloween of course, he always has the best costumes.

 

I am with AD any chance to get dressed up.... I am there

 

Ditto with TK and AD

 

Maybe i'm just getting old...
I'd trade in the Stormie for a good Sith lord anyday.
(not the helmet though).

 

Do Sith Lords wear cardigans and slippers?

 

Only when they put their feet up after a hard day of choking, zapping and torturing people.

 

I can just see it now.....
