Hooliganism is a weird way to say religious bullshit.

Why would shifting the day, by one I might add, change the amount of hooliganism?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Because Halloween is associated with the devil and the religious wackos can’t have our children celebrating the devil.

So by celebrating it a day early, it's a loophole, and god can't get mad.

Yeah it's like how butt sex doesn't count as sex cause it's just in a butt

Unless you both have a penis. Then they put you in a camp and attach electrodes to your chest and shock you while showing you porn and call it therapy.

Sounds like that could go both ways. “Don’t threaten me with a good time” sort of deal.

We love our moral panics here in the US. Especially Satanic panics.

Wow. I just got reverse-onioned.

Sadly, I didn't. I live in Iowa. Just learned about "beggars night".

Yeah... It's weird to wrap your head around. Didn't have a special night down in the southern bible belt but they do here in the midwest.

[–] ryathal 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's called devils night around here.

I associate the word 'hooligan' with two things.

  1. This awesome game.

  2. This awesome person.

I hope the kids finally had some fun on Halloween. Having to tell a joke at every house sounds exhausting.

I associate it with the song hookigans by issues
