happy halloween

Happy Halloween guys, My treat would be seeing all of Greer's movies I haven't had the pleasure of yet, what's yours??

[eds]

My treat would be sitting at the table at the Cocoanut Grove in March 1943 with Greer, Walter, and Ronnie as they await the announcement of the Oscar winners for 1942. This would merely require a time machine.

Actually, I wonder how interesting their conversation would really be.

I used to play competitive bridge, and one time I had the pleasure of sitting a dinner table with several well-known NYC-area bridge players. Instead of talking about all sorts of neat bridge-things, like the latest tournament results or who their favourite othingyents were or what this or that player behaved at the tha card table, etc, they were talking about swimming lessons for their kids.

Maybe Greer talked about her car breaking down, and Walter talked about his leaky roof, and Robbie complained about the pudding he had just spilled on his tie.

Oh well, as a backup Hallowe'en treat I'll take a few new 8x10 pics from Rusty.

Sounds an interesting conversation Eds, I would love to have been Greer's dressing lady who was there with her everywhere and her best friend of course , we would have loads of tea and conversation and we would laugh and she would make me laugh more by telling antidotes about co stars etc.

i am not really doing anything for halloween though. i actually thought of making a pride and prejudice dress and dressing up as elizabeth bennett, but i decided not to. heehee!

With our first three kids having left home, and our youngest (16) upstairs with his friends, I was assigned tonight to man the front door.

After several ounces of vodka and rum (I ran out of whisky last week), I was regaling the teenagers and tweenies at the door with things like "What do you think this is, Hallowe'en or somethng?" or "It's 8:30! Halowe'en'sd over!" or "You call THAT a costume?". If you say things like that with a big dumb smile on your face, the kids love it.

I had a great time.

aaawwww that sounds like you had fun. we were at grandma's house since in our neighborhood, there are no kids and never get trick or treaters. my little brother was manning the door. he was too funny. he had those glow sticks, walking up and down the front of the house waving them around in the dark saying, "get your candy here!" he sounded like a commercial. it was too funny!!!

we had some weird characters come up to us. we had some gothic twenty year olds dressed as i believe they said, "gothic angels from hell". i was like,"right". other than that, there were all these cute babies dressed as pumpkins ans fairies. it was too cute!!

[eds]

I had a bunch of Goth angels too. Nust be soime TV show or internet game or something.

Also had a 14-year-old Marilyn Monroe with two balloons.

When we first moved here, the streets were almost shoulder-to-shoulder on Hallowe'en night, but these days you can hear the crickets cricketing.

that depends on which neighborhood you live in. some neighborhoods get children from totally different streets. they love to branch out, esp where my grandma lives. it really is chaos sometimes, but they have a really neat system in this neighborhood. we live out in the country and lots of people have these big trailors. so they go around right before it gets dark and collect all the kids in the neighborhood and then they go around house to house on these big trailor with plenty of adults with flashlights and blankets. so noone gets lost or hurt or kidnpped. it is really cool.

thats cool about the marylin monroe kid. heehee
1 i would have loved to see that one.
