Today’s theme: “Halloween”
Reader Letter of the Week …
“Check Chris' website out. I heartily recommend all of his books. Better yet, meet him at the Tin Lizzie for liquid libation. His outlook on life, and his dry sense of humor, make him an American treasure. The next Lewis Grizzard . . .”

This week’s blog post …
“Ghost of Arnold Palmer is haunting The Tin Lizzy (wink, wink)!
First off, it says something about the quality of our dead regulars that if I could summon their spirits, Arnold Palmer would come in fourth. He’d be behind Zack, Wayne and Dave. All three were fixtures here at The Tin Lizzy, the place where the good times never die … But some of the regulars do! As upbeat promotional slogans go, that one’s probably a non-starter.

Halloween
• Can someone -- anyone -- explain to me why the words devil and evil don't rhyme?
• Make watching “Young Frankenstein” part of your Halloween routine. Make watching “Young Frankenstein” part of your Halloween routine.
• Halloween is the season when fundamentalists question the propriety of so much pagan idolatry. It's also the season when I question how come the words "evil" and "devil" don't rhyme.
• When Satan really gives someone hell does it torment the soul or is it just considered a standard real estate deal?
• I’ll pay no attention to political witch hunts til investigators reveal evidence subject is actual witch.
• I wonder if Satanists, like other special interest groups, resent being demonized or consider it a badge of honor.
• I wonder if when surprised by something on-line Satan worshippers instinctively type, "OMD!"
• As of today, I vow to no longer demonize those with whom I disagree. But be warned: I reserve the right to rascalize.
