Halloween my ass. Nothing about Halloween jives with Korea; from it’s roots with Euro-Christianity, to it’s face with having some fun for the kids and chomping some free candy not a damn thing about it belongs in Korea.

Looks like an excuse for Lotte and SK to market some lazily devised trademarked character s to sell more of their crap. F this parade. 🙁

Smokes, no one wants to swap body fluids with cosplay actors. At least, no one who has any clue about personal hygiene…

“no one wants to swap body fluids with cosplay actors”

…but those sweet little cosplay actresses…

CH, your experience with people wearing sweaty, non-machine-washable costumes might well be different than mine: I once let a breeding pair of them use my washer and dryer for their “normal clothes” and spent a couple hundred dollars on an exterminator.

I’ll just suggest that Clorox Wipes don’t prevent the “livestock” that breeds in those suits…

Why can they have a Parade? When we can’t have one in America?

Ole Tanker, as near as I can tell from watching CNN and MSNBC: “It is all Trump’s fault!” and “Shut up you racist!”… /jk

A full furry, non-washable costume? Pass.

Cute girl in cat girl ears and tail?

Setnaffa! Why do you have to go there? Just because I likes Demolition Derby more than Formula 1, I ain’t no Redneck Racingist. Still, I does like a good old Parade with floats. Tanks in DC would sure look nice. Take a stand, make a Sacrifice.

MTB, in those costumes, we can’t tell who has what equipment (For all we know one of them could be named “Sally”, TDY from the K55 shopping area). And while you’re free to push your own limits, being married has kept me away from “amateur street artists” very successfully…

Ole Tanker, I love parades! Which reminds me of an alleged incident in Northern California in the ’70s:

A convoy of Tanks and APCs were headed north on Highway 101 through Arcata, CA. Protestors from the local college were singing songs, waving signs, and occasionally throwing stuff. According to legend, one of the gunners in the convoy opened up with blanks running up near the rock and poo hurlers, who all seemingly became Olympic-quality athletes, running up the embankment, jumping the eight-foot cyclone fence, and disappearing.

Protests were allegedly lodged; but no one else saw or heard anything, there was no damage, and the Army was long gone.

It never even made the local papers…

Settnaffa, I’d love to have seen that, Tankers can be canTANKkerous!

LOL… my Grandfather was an Arcata Policeman and heard about it from dozens of the hippie protestors. Of course, there was no evidence… and the Army flatly denied any such thing could even be possible… 😀

Setnaffa,

Did the signs mostly say “hurray for our side?”

😉

MTB, as of course I wasn’t there when the alleged even was alleged to have taken place or not, all I can suggest is that Buffalo Springfield wasn’t there, either… 😉

I imagine they said things like John Kerry and Jane Fonda said about our troops, between throwing medals away and posing in an enemy AA gun wearing an enemy helmet…
