I'm gonna be honoring that even more ancient of Halloween traditions and rituals: ... Toilet papering lawns.
Yes, there has been research done that shows this most ancient of practices going all the way back to the Ancient Egyptians, when ol' King Tut had his pyramid rolled by some of his surviving frat brothers from Pharoah U. However, what has happened to those partying Thebes after that has always remained a mystery.
One myth has it that they drowned in their own home made Egyptian beer. Others had it that the beer turned to blood, a holdover from when Moses did that trick to the River Nile. (Some of the folks there has said that the beer always tasted like the Nile, thus the connection )
BTW, Salem was a little disappointing..the museums and all. I think they were poorly done myself.
There were 19 people murdered. 14 females, 4 males- all were hung...and 1 man was crushed to death under stone. Very interesting times...1692...I can't even imagine...
Glad I was born a little later, and a little freer than puritan times.
Saw my niece and her 5 kids this evening after 14 years... came knocking 'pon my Mom's door & I just happened to be pozzezzd enuf to be here. Ain't Halloween great!!!!!!!

I'm doing Samhain with a few of my friends. We're also going to do a safe little haunted house thingy for the neighborhood kids.
Life is so much more fun now that I'm no longer afraid that I'm gonna break out in demonic pustules or anything like that!
