This past weekend there was a rather large gathering at a farm in Georgia for something called "pumpkin destruction." The facility where it is held is owned by the family that started Chic-fil-a, so it can be described at the very least as "family friendly." Not the type of venue where you get a lot of spooks.
Lo and behold! A couple buses arrive carrying a shit ton of darkies from the south Atlanta metro region. Just to let everyone know who they were, they ALL dressed in coordinating track suits from some high school in that area (even the chaperones). Not a one of them strayed from the dress code.
Anyway, the whole day you could find this brood in one of two places on the ranch (mind you, there are a lot of things to do at this ranch - both for kids and/or adults).
The first was in the actual pumpkin smashing area. Now, the typical human would gather up the pumpkin and hit it with the mallet/sledge hammer maybe 3 or 4 times, kick the carcass of it into the pile of other smashed pumpkins and that would be the end. The spooks? Oh no - they would get that mallet in their hands and start hitting the damn thing over and over again in rapid fire fashion, obliterating the thing and, if their rage was not satiated, they would turn on the remains in the pile to get some extra whacks. Honest to God - if you remember the scene in "2001: A Space Odyssey" where the chimps go on a homicidal bender with bones after encountering the black monolith, it look just like that. Mind you, about 4 or 5 of their group would be off to the side videoing the damn thing, hooting and hollering the whole time.
The other place where the spooks spent their entire day? The basketball court - where else?
