Xtion extremists are pushing for Jesusween - putting signs on busses, etc. Seems they don't know that Halloween is a combo of Hallow's eve or that "ween" is slang for penis.
Slang terminology for Penis, Weener, Weenie, Schlong, Trouser snake.Pussy Poker,One-eyed Trouser Python, Slug-in-undies, short arm/leg and a few but I think these Chrustian Extremists are nuttier than Grandmas Fruit cake wanting a Jesusween.
The 'ween" in Halloween, is a misreading and mispronouncing of the word since it was ORIGINALLY 2 sparate words, Hallow(ed) and E'en (Evening), E'en being the poetic shortening of Evening just as is 'ere the shortening of before used by poets.
In linguistic fact, the words should not have been connected and should be still read and said as how they were originally, i.e. All Halloweds Evening..
It is Halloween, “Hallow” and “e’en”, the “e’en” representing “evening”. The evening before “All Hallows Day, aka All Saints' Day. Not that I believe in any of it.
“All Saints' Day (also known as All Hallows' Day or Hallowmas) is the day after All Hallows' Eve (Hallowe'en). It is a feast day celebrated on 1st November by Anglicans and Roman Catholics.
It is an opportunity for believers to remember all saints and martyrs, known and unknown, throughout Christian history. As part of this day of obligation, believers are required to attend church and try not to do any servile work.
Remembering saints and martyrs and dedicating a specific day to them each year has been a Christian tradition since the 4th century AD, but it wasn't until 609AD that Pope Boniface IV decided to remember all martyrs. Originally 13th May was designated as the Feast of All Holy Martyrs. Later, in 837AD, Pope Gregory IV extended the festival to remember all the saints, changed its name to Feast of All Saints and changed the date to 1st November.”

To be fair. One of scariest costumes that I could think of is to dress up as a Jehovah’s Witness trying to convert people.
LOL, just heard that my nearly 8 year old nephew wants to the Halloween rounds this year dressed, get this, a Mormon Missionary.
They would be better served standing in front of a bus or train going 100:MPH.
It would be a big mess but I would clean it up for the greater good.
@redhog Fuck yea!!
Yes but make one of those Driverless ones, I've seen what hitting someone does to a Locomotive driver and what a mess the person/s end up as also.
