In the true spirit of the holiday I begged and threatened to egg the admin’s houses via PM to get my name changed before I realized this thread was here. By the way, if anyone can use a slightly damaged hat just let me know. I have little use for it and it’s just collecting beetles and cobwebs down in my storage room below the church. ---

So I assume Marley’s Ghost was an **intentional** reference to Dickens, yes? ---

Mod note: Now that Halloween is over (in every time zone), all the magic is reduced to pumpkin seeds and everything has returned to the way it were. ---

I just had to not check in at all this Halloween. At least I get to get Plant vs. Zombies, though! You don’t know how freaking happy that made me. I loved the one session demo that came with my dad’s computer, but had no way of ordering an online game. I wonder if it’ll keep my save file… Oh, and **Marley** , what does your name mean otherwise?
