Mischief night.

I just ran to the supermarket (James just had oral surgery, wanted ice cream and mashed potatoes), and some kids were trying to buy eggs. They won't sell eggs to minors on the night before Halloween. Never heard of anyone denying kids eggs, but makes perfect sense.

Mischief night but I've heard it called the Devil's night which is retarded considering Halloween has nothing to do with the Devil or Satanism.

How about "Holy f*** I got lazy and still don't have a costume for the contest at work tomorrow and my SG-1 costume is still missing several important peices"?

Kinda catchy
