Today’s the day! Today, you’ll know for sure whether or not you’re going to get married! This from wikipedia:
In North America, unmarried women were frequently told that if they sat in a darkened room and gazed into a mirror on Halloween night, the face of their future husband would appear in the mirror. However, if they were destined to die before they married, a skull would appear. The custom was widespread enough to be commemorated on greeting cards from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Sounds like fun! Go for it, girls!

If you ask me, it’s the Shining. What do you guys think? In case you are wondering what child star Danny Lloyd is up to these days, click here.

Well, gang, it’s here again. Time for the 4th annual Halloween Spooktacular! All questions will have a Halloween theme, and Johnny will be giving away a lot of candy. Especially on Wednesday and Thursday, after the bottom has dropped out of the candy market. Ha ha, just kidding, Tuesday quizzo goers. Sort of. And Tuesday will be the first time that Halloween has actually fallen on a quizzo night, so anybody wears a Halloween outfit will earn a bonus point for their team (up to 5 points per team.) Each team can play only once this week.

-Wow, what a great weekend to be a football fan at Lincoln Financial Field, as Philly’s favorite fooball team, the Temple Owls, pulled out a victory after 20 straight losses. The win over the same Bowling Green team that beat them 70-14 last year proved that they are no longer college football’s doormat.

-There was also a pro game at the Linc yesterday, but the dangerously high dose of liquid Valium I took following the game has caused me to forget what happened.

–Camden is no longer America’s most dangerous city! Hooray Camden! Why, I think I’m going to walk over to North Camden after the movie tonight to join in the celebration! Bonus Camden Fun Fact: There was a pro basketball team in Camden in the 1960s. They were called the Bullets. I’m not kidding.

–K-Fed’s having to cancel his concerts. Apparently, nobody is buying tickets! I think people are just scared to “Play With Fire!” (notice the fire in his drink! So cool!)

Alright guys, I’ve posted the lines from famous horror films down below. Now you’ve got to tell me what films those lines are from. No cheating! One guess per person. Oh, and you’ve got about another hour to get in your horror haikus.

When I moved to Philly, I had no life, no money, and one friend. Fortunately, that one friend and I had something in common besides being broke: we both loved Scrabble. We played every night after work, memorized all the two letter words, and kept detailed records of every word played and what the weather was like when the game started. However, neither of us ever came anywhere near 890 points. In fact, I’m quite sure that if I played by myself, I couldn’t score 890 points. In fact, the guy that won scored 365 points on a single word (Quixotry). That is completely ridiculous.

Today’s page two artice in the Metro is Scary Versus Slutty: Women Divded Over What’s Appropriate Dress for Halloween. Vote in the poll to the right.

Me and some friends have been talking about this a lot lately and I thought I’d throw it out there and see what you guys think. I kind of think that The Metro is the best paper in Philly. It’s not where you go for hard hitting news coverage, but it does a much better job of supporting local talent than either the Inky or the Daily News, who are complety convinced that to be worthy of ink you have to be an anchor or reporter on a local news show or have appeared in a reality TV show. Like everybody is just dying to know whether or not Gervase is a good tipper. The Metro, meanwhile, is constantly interviewing local musicians, comedians, and artists, people who are doing exciting things that don’t include appearing on a local network. The City Paper and the Weekly do a good job of this too, but The Metro just seems a little bit more earnest about it. And it’s not as wallowed down in ads as much as those papers are. Anyways, lemme know what you think. I posted a poll to the right.

Here’s some follow up on Rush Limbaugh. You can see Limbaugh not only blasting Michael J. Fox, but acting out his Parkinson’s symptoms. It is really amazing that any of you are even attempting to defend this piece of human waste. This attack comes a couple of weeks after he blamed 15 year old pages for the Mark Foley scandal. Come on, people! There’s a point where this goes past politically incorrect and just goes to out and out evil. Oh, and the anti-stem cell ad will feature none other than Kurt Warner. Now, it is OK to make fun of him.

Yes gang, I waited and waited for those mysterious two weeks to return to the site, but it apparently isn’t going to happen. Therefore, we must move forward and submit those haikus again, or new haikus for the first time. This is only going until Sunday. I will then judge them and announce a winner on Monday. All haikus must be about murder. The winner gets two free tix to see Murderers, the ongoing production by the Philadelphia Theatre Company. 2nd place gets two tix to the Adventure Aquarium in Camden. Just post your haikus in the comments section below. You can post a maximum of three haikus total. After that I will no longer judge your haikus Also, please leave an email address so I can contact you if you win. If I can’t contact you, you won’t win. Now get to it!
