[fuckyou_chorus]

[Tonight the Mess Hall is filled with the smell of pumpkin and festive cheer! There are pumpkin pies, pumpkin bars, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin spice tea--it's all very cozy and warm and not at all ominous! ... Which in turn makes it kind of ominous, whoops. But, hey! Maybe this year will be different!]

I'd like to point out the obvious: Nothing has even happened yet!

[actionpainting]

Nothing October-y, no. Are you thinking that we're in for a quiet month?

[burgercraving]

I'm thinking it's better not to be pissed off before it's come. It's probably not going to happen and then we'll all be poisoned and go crazy on Thanksgiving.

I'd love to believe that. Thanksgiving crazy I can handle! But it doesn't fit with camp's m.o. sooo I'm going to remain ticked off at the possibility of Halloween madness.

What about a giant dinosaur in August seems logical? Is there a giant dinosaur with boobs holiday that I'm missing?

[actionpainting]

Does your family not celebrate Inaccurate Dinosaur Day?

[burgercraving]

We're not big on holidays unless it involves gifts and Jesus.

[actionpainting]

Ah, I remember those days.

I'm pretty sure Christmas doesn't just stop happening. A bunch of businesses would go bankrupt without depending on holiday sales.

[actionpainting]

And that's what the holidays are all about! Christmas is still a big deal, but now I also get to be big on holidays that involve caring about Mother Earth and various kinds of trees. Also Pie Day.

You don't wear like, hemp-made clothes and only eat vegetables, right?

[actionpainting]

That's more like my best friend and roommate's thing. I just support her in whatever she does and try to keep the bacon burgers out of sight.

[burgercraving]

Oh, so you're just living with a lesbian. That makes sense.

[actionpainting]

Nnno, she's straight. Just passionate about the environment and animal rights.

[burgercraving]

Well, at least you can be butch and straight and proud.

Man, do you have some messed up mental images. I'm going to blame this on you being in high school.
