  • Happy Halloween.

    Looking forward to taking the kids out tonight. For my youngest it is her first experience of getting dressed up and having a bit of fun. Here in the UK is not as big as the US, however every year it seems to get bigger and better.

    I never knew there were so many witches and ghouls around!!

  • Happy Halloween!

    That's a great job on the pumpkin (Jack-O-Lantern to you I think) Steve. Was that your handiwork?

    Have a great day!

  • I have my monk robe ready. I will not get much work done this afternoon, but hey, Halloween is only once a year!

    My favorite costume was a friend of mine back in high school who went as John F Kennedy. After the assasination! Yes, it was in poor taste, but what high school kid cares about that! It was really well done.

    At the same party the host built a life size coffin, and went as a vampire. He layed down in the coffin, had someone apply enough make up to look quite pasty white, and stayed as still as he could. He waited until a large number of people (girls) were there, and then rose out of the coffin. Seeing a vampire (especially one that had not moved in more than an hour) rise out of a coffin at a halloween party tends to scare people just a wee bit. I won't go into details here, but I am sure you can imagine the reactions.

  • I kept thinking about how difficult a time I have changing my voice mail message. I am not sure what you do, but at least I can use a script for what I want to say, and just read it. Still it usually takes at least 10 attempts or so before I get it right.

  • I think going as a Database record, DBA, Zombie, Ghost, or Child of the Corn would be very fitting for us database professionals. Kinda like I outlined in this article.

  • I just saw the picture for the article and it looks like even the pumpkin got dressed up for Halloween... it looks like one of Steve's Hawaiian shirts. 😛

    Ok... OLD Halloween joke but it's still a fun one...

    A cabbie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why is he staring and he replies, "I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you."

    She answers, "My dear son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."

    "Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."

    She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: first, you have to be single and second, you must be Catholic."

    The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I am single and I'm Catholic too!

    "OK," the nun says "Pull into the next alley."

    He does and the nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

    "My dear child," said the nun. "Why are you crying?"

    "Forgive me sister, but I have sinned. I lied, I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."

    "That's OK," the nun says. "I'm on my way to a Halloween party and my name is Kevin." 😛

    Those are Star Trek characters, right? I've heard of them.
