You guys should look up Ma'nene Festival if you're not familiar with it. I found out about it by accident and it's fascinating.

Yo! that does look cool as heck Roiff.....what a great custom to preserve the fantasy of life after death. Let's go down there and pick up chicks.

Lol, live or dead? If I can get a new addition to my collection then I'm game. ::wink::

But in all seriousness. I wish the US celebrated Halloween with the same importance and respect that other countries did with their dead. Here we put our dead loved ones in the ground and that's about it. We might occasionally think of them, but we don't celebrate their lives. Once upon a time that's what Halloween was about. That's what the Ma'nene Festival is about, that's what Dios De Los Muertos is about. And it's beautiful. I want to be apart of that. Because death is nothing to fear. It's another adventure.

I saw Coco and am feeling sentimental...

Where is its Jesus talks about the shithole nations in the gospels? Is that in Matthew?

Yeah, I don't think it's in there... After he oddly referenced, "Two Corinthians", does anyone really think he's into the gospels?

....

DbD, is this fan art? An actual film doesn't come in google... ::confused::

Fan made..

So....after the auspicious events of 2017 I got the feelin' like I need to put a real big shiny carrot on the end of the stick fer this summer......

Mrs. DBT loves graveyards ::love:: I'm thinkin' like a road trip tour or somethin'...maybe visit some haunted places....Conventions are really not my thing...plus I'm lookin' fer somethin' west of these parts so I could tie in a visit to the coast.
Year of the Dog comin' up here in a coupla weeks...gonna be a local parade goin' on and costumes are encouraged...any y'all gotta werewolf mask I could borrow?

There's the Whaley House and El Campo Santo Cemetery within blocks of each other in San Diego.

Southern CA? That would be scary....I was thinkin' OR. or WA.

Ok. Maybe hammer and I will go to San Diego...

I'm in!!!! After I move and have money again......

Had a little birthday party for one of the grandkids yesterday. Sometimes there can be nothing more horrifying than the mess left afterwards.....

I somewhat disliked Pat because she reminded me of someone’s boss. I also loved her because, when she spoke, she still used words like “mightn’t” and “chagrined”, as she did when she said to me, “You know what? I’m gonna chew Lorna a new hole. Again, she didn’t remember to close the transom on the Ladies when she closed last night. It looks so unfinished to me.” And then, “You know, I saw you chewin' the lips offa Rosa Tahntoon last night. That trollop mightn’t like you so much without the twenty and drinks you rolled at her. The sight of it all left me chagrined.” Pat had managed to irk me on a Thursday at 8:47 in the morning, just a mere 17 minutes since Bobby’s had opened, and when I had a hangover that would have killed most living things. I don’t know if it was my condition, the annoying skip on the Fred Waring 45 in the juker, or the fact that Pat was spewing this diatribe with breath that would smelt iron ore, but I lost composure for an amount of time. My energy lasted only long enough to allow me to shout, “Pat, you have such class, and you are a veritable fount of pleasantry. However, I am somewhat, but not entirely, chagrined that you have not trotted your cottage cheese over here and poured me another Pabst and an Irish Rose sider!” She sauntered over, poured me like she didn’t own it and wisped, “You still ain’t paid your tab. Prick.” I pondered things like children’s cereals and being electrocuted by a toaster. I lit a soggy Kool that I had found in the parking lot . It felt like Death was walking my dog. It was gonna be a good day.

OK.....So first things first....y'all seen the count on active members? ..::sad::..

But anyway...Obsessed with the macabre and thinkin' 'bout what ta do this summer....here's what I came up with.....one, check some local haunted places....and two, visit some sites named after the devil.

So locally (by that I mean 50 miles or so as the crow flies) there's a geological formation called Devil's Gap and there's a ghost called the Camas Watchman at this other location.

Plus out on the OR. coast there's a place I've always wanted to go called The Devil's Punch Bowl. ::smile::

i like this plan, DBT. I love road trips! dont forget to bring your tape\digital recorder.

What the Lino Says Back to Me at 3:00 AM

Overheard at Shemmie’s aka (There's Something in Your Bluebird)

Spee Ungle swore to me that he overheard elements of a conversation that would titillate and amuse. I was annoyed by the globs of sweat on his forehead as he informed, “I slept like a dog last night.”

He hoisted his pilsner to his lips as I provided a rejoinder. “You’re saying that you were sleeping all lonesome and afraid with a relentless hard-on. Cryssakes, Spee. I can remember when your words could still talk, and now you’ve come to this. It’s' log', not 'dog', you fuck. By the way, some passersby were heard saying things about you and the corsair.”

Spee pulled up some spine and opined with his breath and his lips and his pieces-of-corn teeth. All too close and rubbing up against he said,

“The corsair and the whispering mad-house effect, and then they tell ya that ya gotta go. She never thought. She never remembered my time in the whispering place. For the love of all that is holy, my mind allots too much time to itself. No thinking is better. Heart is better. Life will always chase itself like the puppy and her tail.”

I pulled hard into my toasted cheese on wheat and considered casket linings for the rich.

I think the forum really took a hit from shutting down twice like it did. ::sad::

It's been dying for a long time.

::love:: I love this place ::love::

Does anyone know if Repo'd is all good in reality. I know some of you talk off the board. Just wondering because I like him. I hope all is well.

Yep, he's doing well. I'll let him know you were asking for him.

Hey, Repo'd asked me to tell you that he says hello, he misses you, and hopes you're doing well!

EDIT
But not for long!

Yo what up broham how you been?

HELLO!!!

Hey, what ya been up to, Angelwitch?

Well it looks like this place is back up and running again! I suppose I arrived late for the party ::devil::

Good Morning!!!

Bloof!! Long time no see! How are you?

Im doin' great! No complaints. It has been a bit quiet but its picking up on account of people coming out of hibernation!

Things are going great for me today! YAY! I've been catching up on watching movies and listening to new music I find on Youtube. :)

The only thing that bothers me I believe is the allergies in Florida and hope it passes soon. Everything is blooming here. We've been having some funky weather here lately. I'll live though. ::cool::

Yeah, I was bored last night and I googled horror forums and saw the page had been brought back from the dead and was like "yay!". I was also glad to see my account was still active. I have missed all of you so much, even Roi, even though she hates me lol

How long has this place been back up and running? We should do something to try to bring in more members.

Great to hear from you! Yep, allergies....that time of year.

Since last summer, lol.

I had been fired from more positions than ever existed at Bobby's. However, a natural currying of favor had transpired to my advantage, merely because I had become so familiar to the owner and the tenured employees there. Even though I spent more time on this side of the bar, they still remembered when I could work it back there and tongue the butter. Despite my poor work record and my being a nuisance, as well as an inveterate and incessant partaker of certain libations while employed at or visiting this establishment, I was still eclipsed, and my badge of failure rescinded, by the actions of Sheckie Carntern as he was dismissed in 1981. Upon his termination of employment after only twenty minutes, he was heard to say, "I only had the shirt on for a minute, and I made it stink.".., and "I only sported the trousers for thirty seconds, and I sh*t 'em." I remember admiring his style as it applied to his response, while I lifted his wallet. (He wasn't going to need it. I suspected he would do the right thing and check himself out.) Also, he went all abrupto pit-stain in the end. I've reconsidered my admiration for his style. Now, I just think that he's a prick.

Hey what up Rise?
