Halloween Costumes

PE.com | Inland Southern California | Inland News

There are only 2 weeks to go until Halloween. People in America are desperately trying to get their Halloween costumes in readiness for the trick-or-treating season.

As highlighted from the above article, some have even gone to extraordinary lengths to grab their Halloween costumes. Burglars targeted a lingerie and Halloween costumes shop over the weekend, making off with nearly 100 outfits.

To me, Halloween is not such a big deal. It just seems like an excuse for nerds in America to dress up in their favourite "Star Wars" costumes. In fact, "Star Wars" nerds should be the prime suspects in this burglary.

How they conspired to steal the costumes.....

I sense a huge disturbance in my underpants.

Yes, I can see it too. Thy truly are mighty and powerful, oh dark Sith lord. What is thy bidding, master?

My young nerd apprentice, Halloween is drawing near. We shall need costumes. Gather them together for me. Steal them for the glory of the Empire.

No! I won't do any more work for the dark side. Stealing is bad. You're an evil person.

Good. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you.

Hate, schmmate.....Go away, you wrinkly old man!

I can feel your anger. The hate is swelling in you now and in my underpants. Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. I have foreseen it. Now take your friends and steal those Halloween costumes.

As you wish, master. I shall MSN the others with the plan. Bye.

*Takes off robe* DANG! I must get mother to wash this white robe.

Right, I'll get my coat.....

Red iPod Nano

Well, it 's about time.....

Apple should have been offering a greater variety of colours for their iPods in the first place.

However, this red theme has come about mainly because of "Bono", the outspoken Irish rock star and lead singer for U2.

It's all part of Bono's latest campaign for fighting AIDS in Africa. He appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show overnight telling viewers to buy "RED-branded" goods. Should be an interesting show which hopefully will be available for viewing by Malaysian residents before the year 2010, if we're lucky.

Apparently, a percentage of the profits for this program goes mainly towards buying drugs for people suffering from AIDS in Africa.

American viewers were urged to buy "Gap" T-shirts, denim jeans & jackets with the "RED" trademark, red "Motorola" mobile phones, red limited edition "Converse" shoes, red "Giorgio Armani" clothing & accessories as well as the red "Apple" iPod nano.

Respect to Bono for trying to make a difference in the world. But he does have his fair share of critics who think he is too preachy and lectures people too much. Maybe he can raise money from this segment of the community by selling them the following.....

It should come in "RED" of course.....

Right, I'll get my coat.....

Musicians / Bands With Rubbish Names

The list of offenders include 80's group "The Thompson Twins". First of all, they weren’t even twins. I mean, come on, one of them is black. Then there's the fact that there were 3 members in their band.

Anyone who has seen "LL Cool J" on TV knows how much the guy loves himself especially when he starts to flex his muscles.

LL Cool J’s real name is actually James Todd Smith III. Well, one day "James" decided it would be a universal truth that "Ladies Love Cool James". When shortened, that became LL Cool J. What a knob. Someone pass me the bucket.

One of the most influential groups of all time were "The Beach Boys".

But what a bunch of phoneys. They had all these hit songs about surfing and they used to carry surfboards around. But none of the members in the group even knew how to surf: Except Dennis Wilson, who ironically, drowned.

When I first saw the posters of the Canadian band “Barenaked Ladies”, I was slightly disappointed as there were no bare or naked ladies.

Then I realised I had been expectantly drooling over a group of 5 geeky blokes. I felt so dirty and ashamed.

Next we have "The Righteous Brothers".....

Sure, they loved to dress the same but you guessed it. Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were not really brothers. Apparently, a U.S. marine once heard them performing and said “That’s righteous, brothers!” and the rest was history.

As for Danish band "Michael Learns To Rock".....

Pfff! More like "Michael Learns To Sing Crappy Love Songs".

Right, I’ll get my coat.....
