Top 5 reasons this time of year rules

Back in the beginning of July I had a list of why that time of year sucked. We're finally in my favorite time of year, so I thought I should do a list of why this time of year totally rules. Actually only two of the reasons are mine. But a list of two seemed silly so I tapped into my family for the other three. Yes, It does seem silly to say that this time of year rules when the Country is going bankrupt, but that doesn't happen every October. Also, we have know idea of what the world is going to look like next October so I'm trying to enjoy this one as much as possible.

1. The weather cools and the leaves turn.....We'll most places cool. It's still in the 90's here in Vegas. But it should be down in the the 70's-80's anytime now. I hope. Also I love when the leaves turn. It's beautiful. The color is breath taking. At least from the pictures I've seen. We don't have leaves here either. Everything is brown year round. Now that I type this I might only have one reason why this time of year rules. It's almost mid-October and it's still hot and brown.


2. It the best time of year for sports. The baseball playoffs are now under way. Football is in full swing. Have I mentioned that I like football before? The NBA and collage basketball start at the end of the month. It's unbelievable! It' hard to even keep up. This past Sunday football, baseball playoffs and NASCAR were on all at the same time. I needed a second pair of eyes. The NASCAR race was great. There two twelve car pile up's! Where else are you going to see that without being in the freakin thing? The baseball playoffs started last week. There was a game almost every night. My Dodgers beat the Cubs in the 1st round. Can't brag to much about that. For those of you that don't follow baseball they haven't won the World Series since 1908. Best of all, the games are a great excuse to drink beer on a regular Tuesday evening.

3. On Halloween free chocolate is given out. This is my Mom's reason for this time of year ruling. Personally I think it sucks. A bunch of little punks keep ringing the doorbell all night. It scares the living shit out of me. I have to spend the whole night under the bed. This is a really stupid holiday. If you could call it a holiday. I don't get you humans at times. Going door to door to get a bunch of junk food? No wonder all of you have diabetes. I can see kids getting into this, but please. Once you have pubic hair please stay off my porch. Go buy your own candy. Also, what's with the haunted houses? You actually pay to go into places to be pretend scared? Doesn't life scare you enough as it is? You pay to get more scared because there just isn't enough out there to keep you adequately fearful? You guy's are idiots.


4. Hockey season starts. This is Carty's reason. He loves Hockey. I don't know why. He says it's because his a Maine-coon breed of cat. Genetically we're built for cold weather. Above is a picture of him with his favorite hockey ball. We can't have pucks. No frozen ponds here in Vegas. This is what him and some of his buddies use on my Mama's kitchen floor to play hockey. He bats it around pretending to be Alex Ovechkin. I don't know who that is either but he's Carty's favorite player. The only hockey players I know are the ones that have nailed Anna Kornikova.

5. Normally conservative women use Halloween as a reason to dress trashy.(See examples below) This is my Dad's reason. It is true though. What's the deal with that? I was trotting around on the strip one time during Halloween. I thought I was in a giant brothel. Women walking around with their boobs up to their chin wearing a leather devil costume? I don't get the costume thing either. My Mama brought up the idea of me wearing a consume once. And only once.

PUUURRRRFECT!
