    Hooliganism is a weird way to say religious bullshit.

    Why would shifting the day, by one I might add, change the amount of hooliganism?

      Because Halloween is associated with the devil and the religious wackos can’t have our children celebrating the devil.

        So by celebrating it a day early, it’s a loophole, and god can’t get mad.

            Unless you both have a penis. Then they put you in a camp and attach electrodes to your chest and shock you while showing you porn and call it therapy.

              Sounds like that could go both ways. “Don’t threaten me with a good time” sort of deal.

              You ever think about how someone at those camps needs to curate that playlist? Or perhaps the owner already having the perfect gay porn playlist was the inspiration for the camp…

        We love our moral panics here in the US. Especially Satanic panics.

        Yeah… It’s weird to wrap your head around. Didn’t have a special night down in the southern bible belt but they do here in the midwest.

    I associate the word ‘hooligan’ with two things.

    1. This awesome game.

    2. This awesome person.

    I hope the kids finally had some fun on Halloween. Having to tell a joke at every house sounds exhausting.
