Isn't getting a great question or answer a lot like getting candy on Halloween?

GQ!

More candy LOL

For me it’s more like a ride on a carousel or a big chocolate bunny at Easter! Don’t get me started on the GA’s!! Woo Hoo!!

Yes, it’s just like Halloween! In fact, if I make a comment that doesn’t get the lurve I feel it deserves, I put bags of flaming dog poo on people’s doorsteps and drape their trees with toilet paper. :)

I think it is more like having a good crap.

I loved Halloween when I was little. Everything seemed so magical and special, and Christmas was ruined for me through Emo inducing events, so Halloween was, and still is, my favoured holiday.
It was one of those moments where Calvin’s dad was wrong, where anticipation is not greater than the awaited moment, and as such, the whole month before Halloween where I drew decorations and stuck em in the windows or walked around outside checking out yard decorations and then come back in the evening to read horror stories for children or play around in my pumpkin shaped Halloween activity book that my dad ordered for me was nothing compared to the actual Halloween night.
Being dirt poor, my costumes really weren’t all that but I had a blast putting them together, then finally going out in the night to collect candy, where for one day of the year I believed that witches and ghosts and animated corpses were my friends, and in a way they were.

I’m too old now, but sometimes in Autumn around Halloween I’ll walk around the hood to check out decorations, and for a split second, a really, really short moment I’ll feel everything I felt from back then, but then it just goes away again, leaving me to my boring adult life, while I inevitably wait for death. It’s kind of ironic, but I see those small tiny moments of complete emotional comebacks as the witches and ghosts and walking dead from my childhood coming to say hi to me, before they leave back to the plane of existence I’m no longer allowed in, to go marvel the children of today.

So, to answer your question, no. Fluther points are not like Halloween.

I suppose I could have just said that to begin with instead of going on a Peter Pan for Goths spiel, but yeah.

What’s the eqivalent of the rich people who give out the big size candy bars? The 10 and 20k parties? :)

@Symbeline “So, to answer your question, no. Fluther points are not like Halloween.” I did not think it to be like Halloween in the festive sense or the fight and scary parts, just that GQ, QA or as easy to get as candy on Halloween, except you don’t have to go door to door to get them. :-)

Yeah I know. I just wanted an excuse to talk about Halloween. XD sorry
