TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT & TRICK ‘R’ TREAT
Happy Halloween, kiddies. It’s yer Grampaw talkin’ straight to ya, no middleman or secret messages or whatever it is that jackanape on Twitter is doin’ in my name (I knew I shouldn’t have let him out of his crate, but, shucks, it is his birthday. When we’re done here I’m gonna help my grandkids here at Splittooth wrangle their account back from my poor misguided homunculus).
But I just wanted to pop in here to give you all a hi hello howdy and blow ya big kiss. We made it, kids. It’s Halloween. That means the creeps can’t touch us, can’t even see us if we don’t want them to. I’ll fade away for a while after tonight, but keep yer ears sharp (and yer teeth sharper) and you’ll hear my whoops and warbles drift in on the first wind that blows an orange leaf off a tree. Meantimes, here’s a big mix of classic screamers to keep the night burnin’ bright. Now get yer masks on and shake yer rumps on down the street. There’s candy waitin’.
We’re all in this together, grandbabies. Stay weird another year. Yer Grampaw loves ya.
