6 yr old (Geeman) will be a "Starwars Robot" or whatever the hell they call them...(not a starwars fan here)

3 yr old will be  "Sponge Bob" :D  He was "Tinky Winky" last year, is this a developing pattern? ;)

This was last year...mine is the Bumble Bee in the middle, the others belong to my sister.

I am trying to convince my wife that this year he should be "Alex" from A Clockwork Orange...she doesn't like the idea for some reason.

Halloween is nothing but satanism lite. No way my kids are getting anywhere near that.

My 4-yr old nephew swings between Spiderman, Batman, and Superman.  He's already got Superman and Spiderman pajamas, so my brother is pushing him in that direction so he can save some cash.  I'm secretly hoping my nephew will declare "I am Batman!" :D

I suppose the same could be said for Christmas...it was a Pagan Festival before Christianity adopted it as the celebration of the birth of Jesus.:rolleyes:

Oh yeah...no worries, I'll take some shots of it.  The trick is going to be getting him to hold still while I put the eye lash and make-up on....and convincing the wife of course.

Big difference between Satanism and Paganism there, SB.

In any case, the word "Halloween" has it's roots in the Catholic church.

No no...Alex, not Satan....although they are kinda similar.

So are you going to tell your kids the reason why you won't let them dress up when all the other kids are going to be doing so?  It is going to be pretty confusing for them to be told that all their friends at school are satanists.;)

Paranoid idiots and ultra-Christians have ruined Halloween.  Neighborhoods used to be filled with kids trick or treating, but now my house is lucky if I get more than 30 kids.  I would walk for miles with my brother, and fill two pillow cases full of candy.  I would hate for my children to never know the thrill of Halloween.

It's a shame people have to ruin such a great treat for kids.

I also miss scaring the piss out of them too.  ;)

Hehe - Halloween's a xian festival started to replace an old celtic festival - Samhain which was probably new year. Same procedure for the other major celtic festivals - Imbolc=Candlemas, Beltane=Easter, Lughnasadh=Lammas/harvest festival and Yule=Xmas.  However, sadly Satan appears to be basically just too Jewish (and Xian) to get a look in at any of these - the celts most likely never heard of him til the Xians turned up.

So in some respects, you'd probably have quite a defensible case claiming that modern Xianity is nothing but Paganism Lite. ;)

Heck - If you think that's a scary thought why not check out the names of the days of the week:
Modern english=Saxon English - translation
Monday=Monandaeg - Moon day
Tuesday=Tiwesdaeg - Tiw's (god of war) day
Wednesday=Wodnesdaeg - Woden's day
Thursday=Thunresdaeg - Thor's day
Friday=Frigedaeg - Frige's day
Saturday=Sæterdaeg - Saturn's day
Sunday=Sunandaeg - Sun day

Ooo scary! - Saxon versions of the Roman calendar gods - which pagan god's day are we celebrating today? Uh-oh! Looks like everyday is Satan's day!
You zealous guys better get started burning your calendars & diaries - don't forget not to let you kids utter those blasphemous heathen names like "Tuesday" too. Well, maybe Sunday & Monday are clean... :D

When my son was a newborn he was a pumpkin, then the next year he was Winnie Pooh, then Tigger, then Eor (sp?). The next variation was a Yellow Power Ranger; then last year he was a Roman Soldier with the full headgear, breastplate, sword, shield and helmet. This year he wants to be either a Gladiator, vampire like the one he saw in a Scooby Doo cartoon (strictly discouraging that one for the nightmares it will induce) or Clone Trooper from Episode 2.

Wlfgng, who is the woman on the left dressed as a princess? My God, I have never been so physically attracted to a woman like that in my life! She is absolutely beautiful, is there any way you could give me her phone number?

Rip, this time of year I miss having a little one. She was a fairy, tinkerbell, witch, etc., etc., and although she's too old to go out trick or treating she still likes dressing up like a Hoochie Mama. (No trick or treat jokes from the peanut gallery.) One word of advice- take PLENTY of pictures. They grow up so fast if you blink you miss it.

Cod, first you horrify me with a picture of a fish execution and now you make me tear up thinking bout past Halloweens. These BBS have been an emotional roller coaster for me today. I need a drink.

Well Sikboy, much guidance can be found by looking to Jack Chick (http://www.chick.com/catalog/tractlist.asp), the tract master.

My favorite one concerns the athiest barracks bullies, testing old  Holy Joe (http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0002/0002_01.asp) . The ones telling how Catholics are going to burn in hell ain't half bad either :)

Ok, when I first responded to this thread, I was joking about what I was going to make for my son.  To recap, my wife is dressing him as a fox (he is 5 months old), so I joked that I was going to build a tank for him to sit in (w/ desert camo) so he could be Rommel.

After I wrote that, I started thinking about it.

And thinking about it.

And now, because of some stupid joke I made, I can't get it out of my head.  So last night, I started building it.  I went to Home Depot and got caster wheels and bolts, then when I got home I started hot gluing and cutting.  I've got the turret built, the engine compartment is done, and the front armor.  I'm halfway done building the treads.

It's four feet long, maybe three feet wide so far, and solid.  

I will post pictures as soon as I finish and paint it.

Oh, the things we do for our kids....



(Who am I kidding?  He's 5 months old, I'm doing this for ME!)

Pashaw...what's all this religious Bible-thumping roadkill. All I used to understand about Halloween is that me and my brother used to have fun all night. We'd go until we couldn't anymore and eat the candy for a solid year. There was never any religion brought into it...we knew what the origional festival was, but we didn't care...it was a time to have fun.

Christmas and Easter...the so called "Christian" holidays...means absolutely nothing to me on the religious level. I never gave a damn about anything in church and whatnot...I had fun with relatives...some from England in a few cases. These holidays were times to just enjoy yourself outside of normal constraints of daily life.

Now we see all that;s happened to these holidays. Halloween is no longer "fun" per se...it's a safty and paranoid issue. But...still...religion should not play a part in ANY child's life IMO. Like George Carlin said, "The only good thing to come out of religion was the music." I challenge anyone to read or listen to what Carlin says about religion and tell me if it isn't true.

Anyways...back to your regularly schedualed thread.

BTW...it's bad manners to yell "Devil worshiper!!!!!" to any trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

when my boy (now 17) was 5 I made him and his best freind (single mom, dad lived out of state) 'ninja turtle' costumes.  they where 100 times better than what you could buy.  carved out of foam rubber.  very cool costumes if I do say so myself.

anyway I bust my bellybutton to make these costumes around a 7 days a week and 12 hours a days work schedual.  so a day or 2 before halloween this kids (the freind) dad shows up out of nowhere and takes him back to his house for a week.  very cool that the kid gets to spend some time with his dad for a change but it really sucked for my son, with his partner having to bail on him. he wasn't looking forward to going by himself 'the turltle's are a team'

I hated seeing my son so bummed and I told some freinds I worked with about it.  so one of them says "to hell with that, we aren't letting this crap screw up Josh's halloween"

so anyway the 3 of us go increase the size of my pattern and make 3 adult size costumes just like my sons.  we took the night off work and took the kid out. he loved it.

I wish we'd taken pictures.  my wife came home from work afterwards (maybe 3am) and the kids passed out on the floor. and here are 3 construction workers, hair braided halfway to our ass, full beards, 2 of 'm are smoking, 5th of wiskey on the table. dressed like ninja turtles.  she had no idea we where making the suits, kinda freaked her out.

all in all great fun

btw- we got some really ineresting looks going into a topless bar in the suits too.  one of my buddies got a free table dance.  she said she always wanted to see if she could turn on a super hero.
