What do think?
Halloween Luau Party.
In Winchester on the 31st?
I missed out on so many haunted houses and mazes last year. I don't want that to happen again. Canobie Lake Park even has some though unfortunately after the date for the ticket I already have.
Well dip. Me in Orange paint and call me the great pumpkin!

Hulaween sounds great to us!! We'll be there! Woohoo...it's a party!!
Not sure how much luau stuff I still have...I gave most of it to Barsky. But we still have some stuff and a smoke machine.
I wonder if the Great Pumpkin will show up!
I bet if you called Barskey and asked nicely, he'd return it. ;D
Hulaween... good name :D
Aloha, BOO!
So I googled Hulaween images...
Dang is Bette Midler going to be at the shindig? ;D

I would love to come ..... maybe it could happen.

So the 29th then.
I don't know. I think so.
I was thinking if we don't do it on the 31st, maybe we should move it to the 26th, which is a Saturday, so Hulaweeners wouldn't have to go to work the next day.

I think I'd be a lot more likely to be able to make it on a not-Halloween date.
OK, I conferred with the high peoples of the functionality, the time/date is set for dusk Saturday, October 26.
I will be working my last day in ye old Boiler Room .
Are they going to fire you if you don't show up?
;D Well that's the last day of the pay period so I gave it as my last day.
After26 years I hope to depart on mutual good terms.

Start that curmudgeon training young, it takes a long time to reach the pinnacle Lloyd achieved, Jerry is working on it but he hasn't reached Lloyd's level --he truly was a master of curmudgeonliness.
1. a bad-tempered or surly person.
2. a person (especially an old man) who is easily annoyed or angered and who often complains.
3. An ill-tempered (and frequently old) person full of stubborn ideas or opinions.
I never found Lloyd to be ill tempered.

"Jesus, I've seen this BS so many times before.", is why people think we're wise.
"Jesus Christ, we did that back in the 60's and it didn't fix a god damn thing." - Lloyd
As I sense myself getting older, I see the end approaching at which point nothing I do right now will matter, at least in terms of personal consequences. I think I have stopped caring as much what people think of me and that will probably just continue. I can foresee that coming across as curmudgeonly.
I never thought Lloyd seemed curmudgeonly. He always seemed pretty laid back and friendly.
Regardless of the dictionary definition, I think the idea of curmudgeon has evolved from that meaning to one of lovable gruffness that doesn't truck foolishness and has a worldy wiseness.

Given your attitude it is possible you may have passed on the curmudgeon gene to your son. HE may be the chosen one. We must wait for a sign.

Woohoo!! The Return of Stumpkins!!! They were a big hit last year. The one out front with the light and fog machine was really cool, and the ones in the fire ring afforded everyone a couple hours of entertainment guessing when they would collapse. ;D

Except last year the guy that made them and presumably set them up won the "which stumpkin will fall into the embers last" contest we had around the fire.
I'm thinking it's an inside job. Also there is absolutely no mention of building 7 in the internal investigation we demanded....coincidence? You decide. >:D
Hulaween will be Friday, October 31st, from Sunset until one hour pass the witching hour (1am).
We will light the Stumpkins at sunset.
Bring your Hulaweeny stuff.
Woohoo!! We're really looking forward to the Hulaween party...along with the second annual "Lighting of the Stumpkins"

Imagine, if you will, a desolate highway running through the backwoods of New Hampshire. Your looking for a driveway that will rescue you from your mundane life... there's the sign post up ahead... 'Hula Ween Stumkins'.
Anyone else like this kinda of thing? I went ahead and bought two VIP tickets at $24 each (it was a 2 pack deal) but I don't yet have someone for the other ticket. I've enjoyed it enough in the past that I keep going back. I suppose that doesn't say a whole lot considering I'm such a Halloween junkie.
