Twick or Tweet! Best tweets of October

Some day I’m going to dress for Halloween like a guy who really loves Halloween. No one will recognize me.

Yet again what was once a one-day holiday has become Sprawl-o-ween. We had a great time in our little borough Wednesday night. They usually have Halloween on the Wednesday preceding Halloween around here because that’s when the volunteer firefighters meet and they don’t want to disrupt their scheduled.

They do such great work I’d never dream of complaining about them disrupting everyone else’s. So we’re doing Halloween again tonight on Halloween. It’s just too much for me.

I guess that’s just selfish because on Friday night’s I like to dress like a guy who enjoys BSing in the bar all night.

For those of you who enjoy Halloween, have at it. I hope you have a great time.

For those of you who enjoy witty @8days2Amish — new followers welcome — tweets, well, these will just have to do.
