This is going to put a damper on Halloween.

I’m guessing hullabaloo is out of the question

Let’s not civilise

It’s most tannoying.

Uncivilized brouhaha is fine, though.

What courses through the minds of those with agoraphobia.

Someone once asked Mahatma Ghandi what he thought about Western Civilization. He thought it could be a really good idea.

Don’t need to. It visits me often enough.

And see that you don’t, Bub.

Although you can Hire a Horde, for a nominal fee.

H.O.H. Services. China’s leading supplier of unruly gatherings.

Calumny, Riot, and Civil insurrection by the shipload.

It’s the Tower of Babble.

Can I watch it through the Hubbub telescope?

Hmmm.. the last time I ate damper, Aussies didn’t even celebrate Halloween.
