What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA church bulletin board has a flyer for the children's Halloween parade pinned right between the Flower Guild and the food pantry, and the parade is this Saturday.

  2. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFlowers, then food, then a small child dressed as a taco. That's a full ministry, that is.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorRob Long wrote it in the Washington Examiner.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHe's the Cheers writer, and he says Halloween is short for All Hallows' Eve, the night before All Saints' Day, and then All Souls' Day on the second.

  5. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThank you, Chip, for reading all of that. I'm still not sure what you want from me.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNothing! I just think a skeleton and a casserole should get the same board.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSkelly, the twelve-foot one, is two hundred ninety-nine dollars at Home Depot, and he's sold out before Halloween every year.

  8. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistEvery year?

  9. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorEvery year. Ninety pounds of joy, and it's gone by the thirty-first.

  10. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFine, I'd stand in line for the skeleton before I'd touch the flowers.
