Captain Underpants ruined Halloween

    AP stories that came over the ticker tonight, one of them funny, the other one just sad.

    The funny first:

    The second one, which is gross, and definitely not the way I want to go out ...

    I think the first one is harmless. Then again, it would be more than a pleasure to walk anywhere and see a trio of girls in skin-colored clothing, especially if it's incredibly tight.

    The second is my worst nightmare. Everytime I hit something, no matter how small, I always worry that it will get stuck in my undercarriage and skid along with me. The last thing I need is to pull out my scraper, yank it out and see it being an arm. That just gave me shivers.

    What does the second story have to do with Captain Underpants or Halloween?

    I'm so confused.

    No need to be confused, sweetie. I liked that headline instead of "Body parts dragged for 15 miles"

    OK. But you understand anyone opening a thread with that title would expect BOTH STORIES to be related to it somehow. It would be like titling a thread "God likes kittens" then posting pictures of beheaded children.

    Kind of incongruous, and startling.

    No wonder God hates man since we kill kittens.

    Well, if I were to dress up this Halloween, I have a new costume to go in:

    A little bit of poking around on the net led to finding a photo of the trio in costume:

    (I think the photo is SFW,but just incase some disagree with me, I'm leaving it as a link)

    Captain Underpants' alter ego actually is a principal, so maybe this principal just feels like they are stepping on his brushed-cotton turf.

    And to the trio in tighty whities: You go, girls. Waistband warriors unite!

    I read the story last night and wondered how many kids at this school are walking around with their pants around their ankles, ala gangster-esque, showing off their boxers or the booty or whatever is cool looking these days, every day.

    I like the underpants better than pieces is pieces, parts is parts
