The Halloween parade.

Just got back from the cos­tume parade at Kate’s school. Your correspondent’s eye­wit­ness report: No obvi­ous baby-tart cos­tumes, one bor­der­line, no big deal. Over­whelm­ingly, it was cute kids hav­ing a cute time on a nice day. Among the high­lights, Nancy Drew:

    Are you kid­ding? Down there, that kid would be a voodoo sac­ri­fice. Why do you think the rest of the coun­try is try­ing to slowly stran­gle you to death?

    I took pic­tures at the ele­men­tary school’s parade thru town here yes­ter­day and posted them at flickr. Turns out those were the only kids in cos­tumes I got to see yes­ter­day. I spent $12 on candy and no one knocked on our door at the apartment.

    Ash, I thought Voodoo in NOLA was only low­brow com­pared to Aztec wor­ship. I had no idea they needed real vir­gins for rituals.

    I per­son­ally am very dis­ap­pointed in the youth of today. In my lit­tle com­mu­nity, there is not a sin­gle smashed pump­kin; no cows have been coaxed to the top of any struc­ture; noth­ing has been tp’d, tipped, or egged. Lit­tle brats are prob­a­bly all attend­ing Future Repub­li­cans of Amer­ica meet­ings. In my day…

    o yeh — went over to alicublog just before i came here. i guess liliks had his skivvies in a wad about lit­tle girls dress­ing like street­walk­ers and the decline of west­ern civi­la­tion and yada yada yada …
