The Countdown Shall Begin!
"All the candy corn that was ever made, was made in 1911. They never had to make it again; we never eat enough of it."
-Lewis Black
I don't know how or why, but candy corn has always been one of my favorite Halloween treats. I don't know if it's because it's named after a vegetable and tastes nothing like it, or if it's its festive colors that are easy for my color-blinded eyes to see. I do know my dreams of world peace do to the simultaneous consumption of candy corn has be shattered.
Until recently, this naive, post-pubescent man assumed that every air-breathing, blood bleeding, man, woman, and child enjoyed the delectable treat that is candy corn. But due to the increase popularity, usage, and connectivity of the internet I have learned that I am a fool. One quick click on this link and you to can see the hate filled hatred many people have for this delicious treat. It makes me sick.
I have a plan though. Since I am now a legit land owner I have powers! I'm not talking voting powers circa 1776 -- I am talking Halloween-candy giving out powers! I decide what candy is given out and how much candy is given out! My plan? I will give shitloads of candy corn to ever trick-or-treater that walks within 10 feet of my person. I will give them so much candy corn they will have to eat it, and love it!

I hope you don't mind if I end up sorta stealing this idea when it comes to Christmas 2006. I've got at least three new pre-1950's christmas cartoons on order from Amazon as I type this. That would mean I have at least three blog posts for 25 or so days of a "Crappy Christmas Cartoon Countdown" blog idea.

Haha, no problem. You just need to let me know what these cartoons are.
