It’s the spoooooooooooooooky Halloween open thread!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
*wiggly fingers for added spookiness*
Mock me at your peril, Picklers, for tonight is the scaaaaaaaaaariest night of the year!
*more wiggly fingers*
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “Oh but Katy Halloween is the 31st October and today is the 28th October so actually it is Tuesday what is the scariest night of the year and tonight isn’t very scary at all so please put your wiggly fingers away for now, okay? Okay. Thanks. Thanks – no, that’s a wiggly finger – that’s better – good girl. Good. Okay? Good. Thanks.”
Well, you are half right. In fact, technically you are entirely right. But I am going to a Halloween party tonight, and I am going in fancy dress. And that is scary on many, many levels. Whereas on Tuesday I will probably not do anything particularly Halloweeny at all. So as far as I am concerned tonight is in fact the scariest night of the year, and I declare a special early Halloween celebration here on Pickled Politics to mark it.
Share with me your dastardly secrets and dark, doomy weekend plans, Picklers, and make sure you do wiggly fingers with it. They add atmosphere.

I decree that PAKISTAN is officially renamed as CRAPISTAN for the next few days as punishment for yesterdays fiasco.
Well, I’m going to go to the seaside and purchase a famous brighton rock off my rasta friend then go scare children.
id wiggly something else, nawotimean *nudge nudge wink wink*
i went to fancy dress as a woman and got groped by a group of chinese blokes…they obviously didnt mind the beard
Yeah, what is it about blokes? Last year I too went to a fancy dress party dressed as a woman, and I got totally groped on the breasts by pretty much everyone. How women cope with that kind of unwelcome attention 24/7/365, I cannot comprehend…
Robert, you’re clearly just a hotty when you dress up as a woman. Ehm, moving on…
A couple of my girlfriends are going to an event this evening – a new kind of dating set-up thing – its called a ghost hunt walk through central London. I’m told it’s a great way of meeting new people (men). I politely declined but felt like screaming: HELLO??? DO YOU THINK I DON’T MEET ENOUGH SUPERNATURAL FREAKS? I mean, as if I need spend my time going out and actively looking for more. Humph.
It’s X-Factor night for me this eve (and don’t tell me you haven’t been watching it). Me, my sofa and some good friends eating home made chilli paneer (indian cheese dish). And who knows, maybe the odd ghost might join us….
ps. Katy, you make me laugh
@raz: Champion’s Trohpy is crap. BCCI should never be allowed to host any other tournament of this scale.

Grrr.. I’m jealous. Back in Mumbai now, will be taking SAT on 4th Nov. Given that i’ve fucked up my test-preps by procrastinating on my stoodies, i’m studying like mad rite now…

Robert my man, you have *no* idea what women have to face in India! I can affirm that Britain is waay better than India. Almost all of my female cousins have been “eve-teased” (Indian-English euphemism for varying degrees of sexual molestation.)

Come on Katy, don’t be coy. What are you dressing up as?
Raz, raz…. i remember you’d cited a story from IndiaDaily, saying how Indian press is obessed with Pakistan… well just check this link!

I wish I was doing something interesting today! Instead I have to do lots of work unfortunately
Halloween never meant anything to me as a child, and damnit it still doesn’t. American imported crap. I’ll wait for guy fawkes night thankyouverymuch. It has a point; a penny for a guy i don’t mind since my pyromaniac side is satisfied and children do something subversively productive (from the pov of health and safety freaks). But Halloween? whasthepoint? its nothing more than an imported protection racket franchise.
A friend of mine gave sweets to the hateful little shits that come knocking, the kids threw the quality street sweeties on the floor, swore at him for not giving money and stomped off keying his car on the way. Personally i don’t answer the door anymore.
bah, humbug!
Kulvinder,
Finally I can agree with you 100% on something. And what’s with the pumpkins? When I was a kid we had turnips. Ever watch a seven-year old hollow out a raw turnip with a spoon? We had to start in August.
Anyone ever seen a ghost? Any first-person, hand-on-heart ghost stories out there?
Nope, and I don’t believe those stories either. Ghosts… pssshh! Such hogwash.
Yeah, that’s what they say, then they go down to the basement …
… and they never come back…
or do they?
*shines torch up into face*
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
*is a bit worried about Katy*
Ahem, stop trying to scare me young woman. I’m fearless!
*takes stick and heads down the basement*
Hey while we are on a spooky theme:
Pakistan’s first zombie film!
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117951886.html?categoryid=19&cs=1
‘…midget zombies … produced by an ice cream mogul….Shot for an unspecified sum…’
I must see this movie!
I see my mum’s gosht everytime she cooks meat
Nice ghosts you have Kismet. Do they do the washing up as well?
That would be a Grogoch.
Sunny’s been a long time in the basement. Maybe someone should go check.
ZinZin, you didn’t get my cunning ghost/gosht reference did you? I know this because I overheard you asking the difference between arranged & forced marriages the other day. I like overhearing things.
I thought it was a spelling mistake. But do enlighten me.
I like overhearing things too. But not always.
This’ll crack you up. I mean, really. You better get your sewing kit on the ready cos you’ll be in stitches and have your sides split all at the same time. Ready?
See, in our lingo, gosht means… wait for it… meat. Usually cow’s meat, but lamb’s meat too, I’m spoling it by explaining it too much, but anyway, yeah, gosht, sounds a bit like… ghost.
Geddit?
Tikka chance on me?
You gotta fight for your right (to chappati)?
Korma blimey.
I’ll get me coat…
(yes, I have no girlfriend)
Puntastic
Did you know a djin is like a muslim holy ghost? so, on the pun tip, that’d make zinzin make you a double whammy on the spooky stakes
Go to sleep little children, or zinzin will come get you. Dunno bout my kids, but I just shat myself
The power of the djin compels you. Ego te absolvo in nomine Patris, et Filiii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
And you thought Britain was a tough place to live!
From the Indepedent:
“…More than two-thirds of married women in India aged between 15 and 49 have been beaten, raped or forced to provide sex…”
NOT A SINGLE COMMENTER has done wiggly fingers on this thread.
Not one.
By the power vested in me by the mighty Cheops, you will rue the day you forgot to do wiggly fingers in my spooky thread!
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha!
*wiggly fingers*
It’s my birthday on Monday!!!!! I’ll turn into a hamster
We’ll leave the wiggly fingers to you!
Happy Birthday Sahil.
Katy,
=>”But I am going to a Halloween party tonight, and I am going in fancy dress. And that is scary on many, many levels.”
Which means you just went as yourself but without makeup, right ?
*wiggly fingers*
^^^Just kidding, by the way. I think Katy’s great and I absolutely love reading her writings. The article at the top of this page is a superb example.
I love Jai. He did wiggly fingers.
And I probably am a pretty scary sight without makeup
I hate blogger.
dude! katy! i did wiggly something
How exactly do you wiggle your fingers? I’m confused about that
That is not the kind of wiggling that I was after, s-m-c. This is a family website, I’ll have you know.
Sunny, it is a bit like in Wayne’s World when they do a flashback.
Clairwil – Me too. Nasty blogger refused to post my new post!
Sorry – wiggly fingers.
We’re not alone Chairwoman. All sorts of bloggers are hopping mad. It seems the problem has been ongoing for nearly two days.
*wiggly fingers*
Ladies, its about the time you switched over to Wordpress…
AUUWWWW MY head. Thanks ZINZIN, I’m so hungover!! Hope all of you guys have a great weekend!!
Bost uneventful weekend ever I think. Though I won some money at poker on Friday night
And the Golden Wiggly Finger Awards for expert finger wiggling go to:
Me
Jai
Chairwoman
Clairwil
Honourable mention to suck-my-chitterjuice for wiggling something, even if it wasn’t a finger.
And also an honourable mention to Kismet, because he is so pun-tastic.
HAPPY halloween everyone¬!#
vikrant – yeah! about time everyone switched over to WOrdpress!
to scare myself this evening im going to see what this fellow’s> like in person: ( should be scary eh?)
