WTIT: The Blog

Every Saturday WTIT: The Blog brings you a meme called Saturday 9. It’s not to say that this is a bright idea, but it is what we do. A woman named Crazy Sam started this meme because a prior popular Saturday meme specialist Lola had retired. So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. Let’s begin!

Saturday 9: Mr. Roboto

B.B. Bacardi at Johnnies circa 1988.

1. Do you enjoy holidays like Halloween or is your approach more robotic? If not giving a shit about the whole thing is robotic, that’s me. However, both as a youngster myself and raising four kids, I have good memories. Back in the 80s Johnnie Walker and his ex-wife held the annual WTIT Halloween Gala.

2. Have you ever been to a haunted house? If you mean bringing my kids to an overpriced walk while people yelled at them and scared them to death, yes. If you mean do I believe in ghosts and the paranormal, no. But I do always allow for the possibility that I was wrong. I mean ask me about any of my ex-wives.

3. What are you doing for Halloween this year? Last week I watched my GF (who I had told that no kids come) ignore me at get a huge bowl of candy. Lucky for her it was all her favorites.

4. What was your lamest Halloween costume ever? Nothing comes to mind. I am usually all in or all out on this kind of shit. I do enjoy visiting the French twins and seeing their outfits.

5. Is handing out candy fun for you, or more of a nightmare? It’s a snap when nobody comes!

6. Do you buy trick-or-treat candy and end up eating it yourself? I don’t eat candy. So, I buy none.

7. Did you carve any pumpkins this year? Not likely. I’m out on medical leave. It’s not on my radar.

8. What was your favorite costume as a child? Superman. I always wanted x ray sight to look at the girls with.

9. What is your biggest pet peeve about trick-or-treaters? Shhhh. I don’t want break my streak. We’re back with Stealing.
