    I should stop looking away while watching Rocketboom…that way I miss all the subliminal scare-frames…
    Whatever Happy Halloween over there
    (I’m just lucky it’s not so popular here in Germany.)

    Ooo, scary.

    I hope those drunken \”ghosts\” aren\’t drinking Sierra tequila, or tomorrow they\’ll wish they were really dead.

    I love the spooky freeze-frames. By far the scariest is when Joanne says \”sweet taste of death\” and we see… Dick Cheney! AAIIEE!

    Oh wait, it\’s just a ghoul. Phew.

    My pumpkin, not real scary though.

    yin/yang, good/bad, devil/angel, you know…stuff like that.
    Have a great night everyone, chocolate is good for you!

    You made a slight mistake her Joanne; November 1st is the Catholic feast of \”All Saint\’s Day\” (hence all hallows e\’en ‘e2’80’93 hallows as in hallowed as in blessed); \”All Soul\’s Day\” is the next day: November 2nd.

    Like so… I think I got all of them. The 9th one probably isn\’t placed there by RB, but nevertheless, I have problems reading parts of the text.


    I got this:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pbrige_comment_captcha() in /home/1/drew/rocketboom.com/stories/pligg-bridge/comments.php on line 618
    Is that what happens you post too many links/images?
