Halloween is coming....

[Junctionfan]

Is anybody going to present any Halloween themed poems or literature here?

[Junctionfan]

I'm going as the Witch King of Angmar. Next year Sauron.

I am convincing my parents to be Lucifer and Lilith for a party.

[BNSFNUT]

I am going to paint myself in about 10 colors and go to a Holloween party an an NYSW locomotive. With the number of odd locos they are useing any 10 colors will do.

Her real name is Abigail Ann and she must not like it - she won't come to it. But she came to "Mookie" - so....

Go with the flow, I guess.

Pseudo-Mookie

Milwaukee, too... of course, I went to a college where it was Halloween all year, so am partial to this sort of thing.

What about the Eerie, or the Seaboard Scare Line?

No - I am going to dress her as a fraidy cat and watch a 17 pound cat try to get under the bed to hide! She loves Halloween, 4th of July and guests in general - as you can tell!

[bnsfkline]

Mookie, you dressing Mookie up like Chessie this Halloween

[Junctionfan]

When the darkness is just right,
the forum will have one great fright

As you will scream, the dark ones howl
the moderators may laugh and scowl


When it's time, I'll release the good stuff.

Soon the little rug-rats will be putting the pumpkins on the rails to watch the train explode them, and send pumpkin guts flying everywhere.

Saw two things this last weekend that caused me to think we are really getting close to Halloween -

An mt coal train with the helper running backward at the end and the windshield wipers all running like mad! Spooky!

And - an engine with two small pumpkins pasted to the windshield up high. X-d freight going out of town and this engineer deliberately opened his window and waved! How fun!
