Definitely. It's a more defined anthology, and some of the stories are funny. Plus, different directors and whatnot.

I love this movie!

It had the misfortune of being constantly compared to Trick R Treat, but it is really fun.

Before you make any Klan jokes about the two dudes in the back, those are ghost costumes from a popular Carnival krewe.

Love that tune.

Alt: The Cramps are playing their crazy mix of punk, rockabilly, surf, etc. I guess people refer to them as psychobilly, but I dunno. Maybe? They always seemed like their own weird thing.

I guess the "I only watch college" crowd gets their own little halftime show. Bless their hearts. 😂

Yeah, that was my whole schtick for awhile. That the Gulf Coast is one entity on its own, separate from Northern parts of LA, MS, and AL. 😂

I genuinely think coastal LA, MS, and AL should be its own state.

Technically we are in Bama, but we used to be Louisiana. Original capital of French Louisiana on Dauphin Island.

*we don't really claim the rest of Bama 😂

I was just informed that there is an ice cream truck rolling around the neighborhood selling frozen daiquiris and I missed it.

I only recognize the Donovan and Lou Rawls versions of Season of the Witch, thank you.

💯 would try

Bayou Babylon @bayoubabylon.bsky.social · 4d

Exactly. Management always wants to find ways to artificially inflate morale, while still just doing whatever dumb shit they want to in the areas that count.

Bayou Babylon @bayoubabylon.bsky.social · 4d

How is your morale?

Bayou Babylon @bayoubabylon.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah, that is definitely a given. The railroad will provide you with the bare minimum required by the FRA, and that is it.

It used to be fun.

Bayou Babylon @bayoubabylon.bsky.social · 4d

And then our bosses are pissed because it took so long.

So they yell at us.

Which decreases morale.

See step #1. 😂

A meeting at HR:

"How can we increase morale in an extremely uncreative way?"

"Get this, yall... What if we get a FOOD TRUCK to come to our worksite and act like it's some kind of really cool event?"

I had it on dvd, but this edition is so good, with tons of special features. I just love all the textures.

Bayou Babylon @bayoubabylon.bsky.social · 5d

Well, it's Gameday...

Again.

Eat your breakfast. Drink your coffee or bloody mary or whatever will help you get through it. Gonna be a great day.
