Pumpkin Carvings by beyond member, barmanjay

I normally start these type of posts with some sort of history of the day but Halloween is different. You see, its the one time of year where it is socially acceptable for younger women to bring out their inner slut. This year will be especially crazy as Halloween falls on a Friday allowing for more partying. Tonight all the guys will not only have alcohol on their side to help them score, they will also get to hide their ugly mugs behind some sort of clever Halloween costume!

Since this is an automotive blog, its my duty to throw the following message out there. Please slow down when driving tonight especially in residential neighborhoods as there will be many children out there trick-or-treating. During my days of going door to door to get free candy (woot!) we didn’t start until 6:00pm but I have noticed parents are starting to go earlier each year with some starting as early as 5:00pm to try to catch some sunlight so be on the lookout! :)

In our playground zone debates, many drivers here on beyond said they normally just drive slower when there are actually kids around (regardless of whether or not they are in a playground zone). Tonight, you can bet that there will be kids on nearly every residential street and the last thing on their minds will be to look both ways before darting across the road.

If you’ve carved a pumpkin this year, snap a photo of it and post it in the pumpkin carving thread! I’ll post a bunch of them in a future blog post.
