because I sound like an absolute lunatic when I talk about the shows I watched as a kid and have no gauge for what normal children watched (because we didn't have cable and I wasn't allowed to watch most adult shows until I was 13)
Have LSB ever gone into Canada during Halloween before? I ask bc parts of Canada usually get snow during Halloween so a lot of kids either have to wear a snowsuit over their costumes or sometimes costumes go over their snowsuits lol. What were their reactions?
I feel like the trio would like to visit all countries that trick-or-treat on Halloween at least once!
I keep coming back lately to how f*cked up it was that my dad never let me mess anything up. Oh no, don’t climb out the window and sit on the roof--you’ll damage the shingles. So I put out beach towels and was extra careful, and he still got mad. Some of my best childhood memories were sitting out on that roof with my brother or my friends. Man f*ck the shingles. We sold that house a year later anyway. I waited years for him to fix the toilet paper roll holder in an upstairs bathroom--then one day just broke down and fixed it myself. It took me 5 minutes. And he was mad because I didn’t use the right kind of screws. F*ck the right screws. It looked perfect and it worked just fine, at least until I moved out. Now I’ve been out here living with a bunch of rogue ranchers and old engineers and it’s given me a whole new perspective on life. The first day I moved onto this ranch the owner got out an electric saw and cut a hole straight through a sewer pipe. I nearly panicked! Like--YOU CAN JUST DO THAT?!?! Just break something?! It was a horrible job! But BAM--it was done! And that sh*t changed my whole worldview. Last week I helped remodel a bridge with some spare logs and a pickaxe. I’ve sawed open the roof of my house and glued it back together. I’ve torn wall fixtures off and burned them in a bonfire.
GO AHEAD! BREAK IT. Wear down the shingles. Cut holes through the wall. Get mud on the sofa. Put stickers on your car. Break the world around you just a little instead of living in fear of losing resale value you rarely get back anyway. It’ll be fine.
[Video Description: A tiktok video by _ianstnr_ depicting a man overlayed against a Waterpark with a green screen. The caption reads: Kid me waiting for the giant water bucket to tip over.
The man watches the giant suspended bucket as it slowly fills up, nods, then walks away. Cut to him pretending to be splashed by some friends. He glances at the bucket, but it's still filling, so he goes back to playing.
Cut to him walking around nonchalantly. He looks up at the bucket just as it starts to tip. He zips over to the splash zone, closes his eyes, and opens his arms to embrace the incoming splash. The water drops onto him like a waterfall. When it disappears, he is face down on the ground.
