Whoops, I posted this pic elsewhere as a "G Rated" pic.

@FionaRing I suppose it depends on how observant the viewer is? I'm always looking for that something extra . . . Consider it an early Halloween treat.

@RUmytranny ... Australians have only recently started to embrace Halloween. It's a fun night for the kids, they get to dress up & roam the streets with their friends. It really has no meaning or significance for us.

We used to have Guy Fawkes night & let off crackers or bungers, as we called them. Guy Fawkes was some English cunt that tried to blow up the British parliament in 1605. Not much significance to us either. But Firecrackers were banned & made illegal in the 1970's because kids were blinding themselves & blowing off fingers etc. We also blow up a lot of letter boxes.

@FionaRing I remember trick or treating for Halloween when I was a child. Lots of fun. It's still done n Canada; however, I think possibly less so. Perhaps it's because of where I live now; there are very few children in this area. The only significance to Canadians is it's a great excuse to dress up and party. Adults get into it, too.

I'm very familiar with Guy Fawkes. As far as I know Canada never celebrated Guy Fawkes Day like they do in England. I certainly never did. And yeah, firecrackers were banned in Canada sometime back in the 60's or 70's. When I was young, a boy in my area was badly burned when firecrackers in his pants pocket were set off. We still have fire works, though.

Lol, obviously you missed the point of my last reply re; "Titty Tuesday".

I have no problem with people celebrating the end of the working week (TGIF) & embracing a couple of days off. But after seeing photos captioned with "Titty Tuesday & Happy hump day" etc, thousands upon thousands of times, it's become quite stupid & boring & are just hackneyed words people use who can't think of anything else of interest or original to say.

I think the scene from "Meet the Fockers"

It's a trend I've noticed coming out of America for decades, where people seem to celebrate the most mediocre achievements, as if they were monumental & groundbreaking.

@FionaRing yeah I guess I missed that point, I do however agree that "Titty Tuesday" is Inane and pointless. And I've never understood the achievement medals for mediocre behavior or tasks. Still love the purple dress though 💜

@Nada1sttimer ... Thanks Nada, I'm glad you agree.

It's annoying for me especially as I don't share the North American time zone. A lot of Americans don't seem to recognise the world is divided into different time zones. I've seen the shock of many American faces when they are told then & start realise that it's the height of summer in Australia at Christmas time.

Don't they teach kids about the solar system & the rotation of the planets around the sun causing seasonal changes on earth? Clearly not as very few people, in America, seem to understand that concept.

@FionaRing that's clearly the ones left behind, even daylight savings time isn't recognized everywhere and time zone changes as well.
