Me being a 'merkun, lemme explain. We dress up as monsters, stuff ourselves with treats and alcohol and then have sex with strangers.
This is an ancient and honorable tradition, brought to our country by the first white settlers, and then taught to their indian friends. But the indians were sad, so the white people killed them with Jesus.
Luckily Custer died for all our sins at the Little Big Matterhorn. There is a ride named after him at Walt Disney Land.
SO...to make a long story short. We have Halloween because of the Louisiana Purchase, where Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson screwed the French out of their share of manifest destiny.
Suckers.
