I’m sorry, but hearing Charlie Brown say “homies” was just bizzaro-land. ---

> [@Stink Fish Pot](#): > > … > 3) At the halloween party, they actually bob for apples (does anyone do this anymore?)… We had a Halloween party at the house, kids invited their friends from school and the neighborhood kids. We did games–pass the pumpkin (musical-chairs variant) was a big hit, as was apple bobbing. We and the kids also watched ItGPCB Thursday evening. Charles Schultz was a freakin’ genius. The arguments about Christmas vs. the Great Pumpkin are brilliant. And the kids (4, 6, 7, 10) loved it.
