Writer's Block: Life is a masquerade

[Error: unknown template qotd]No, it's purely a kids thing here, and even then it's not a big deal. Sometimes none of them trick or treat.

It’s BIG here!! Target (a store here, do you guys have them?) is full of cool Halloween stuff for parties and what not. Every grocery store has rows and rows of Halloween themed candy. Even our themed parks are open after hours for “Haunted Nights” where they have people dressed up to scared the sh*t out of you. *sigh* Yeah, it’s my favorite holiday :D

Oh I know it's big there :) We only really have it as an American influence. Guy Fawkes night isn't long after and that's more of a family thing here I'd say. Fireworks, bonfires, misc sweets and hot savouries, mmm.

We don't have Target. We do have ASDA which was taken over by Wallmart and therefore sometimes tries to celebrate things like Independence Day. The staff just look embarrassed and the customers confused :P

You have Wallmarts there too now! Damn, Wallmart is taking over the world!!

How bizarre for them to be celebrating Independence Day O_o

I’ll have to Wikipedia "Guy Fawkes" (he was the parliament guy right?) I fail at history; Eddie Izzard would be so disappointed in me!! LOL!!

Yeah they are. Funniest thing was right after they took over and they tried to have the staff dress as Disney characters. They refused point blank :P

But the Independence Day thing is still bizarre. I do wonder if at some point someone at Wallmart HQ is going to wonder why sales don't go up here then.

Yup, the bloke who tried to blow up Parliament. (Did Eddie do a skit on it?) If you've ever see V for Vendetta there's a lot in there about it.

I love Disney…….But you can’t blame me, I grew up so close to Anaheim, I’ve had a season pass since birth XD But even I wouldn’t want to dress up as a Disney Character for my work!!

Funny thing that you mentioned Disney, I’m going to Disneyland tomorrow for “Gay Days” Mmmmmm, gay boys :D

No, Eddie didn’t do a skit on it. Whenever he comes out here and makes a joke with a reference to something in history and no one gets it, cus you know, American’s are scared of history or something!! He always has something to say about that! Ah, I love Eddie <3

I’ll have to rent out V for Vendetta.

I was always more of a Warner Bros cartoon peep but Disney used to have the best films. Now it's Pixar :D

They have 'Gay days' at Disney? I'm honestly amazed. I always had Disney down as rather conservative. That sounds really cool :D

American’s are scared of history or something!! He always has something to say about that! Ah, I love Eddie

I thought I hadn't seen that one. To be fair you guys do have your own history. Although James I/VI was very interesting not least because he was one of our acknowledged-by-the-historians to be bi/gay kings :D
