Halloween the Gilmore Way

Posted by Lorelei on Oct 31, 2008 in Gilmore Girls | 6 comments

We know that the Gilmores eat four Thanksgiving dinners & put red & green m&m’s in their cereal on Christmas. I was just trying to remember if there was any reference to how they celebrate Halloween. I know that there is an episode with a Quentin Tarantino themed party, but that is Finn’s birthday party. Would they put candy corn in their breakfast cereal?

I just totally negated my first paragraph because I just remembered. However, I’m not erasing the first paragraph because I had to figure out how to spell Quentin Tarantino & that is not easy. The episode was from the craptastic season six, so it slipped my mind. It’s the Twenty One is the Lonliest Number episode. Apparently the Gilmore way is to hang carmel apples from the tree in the front yard but Lorelai decides to do something different this year because she’s still on the outs with Rory. She wants to put Luke in a fake electric chair where he still shoots sparks out of his nose.  Now I just need to find someone who can shoot sparks out of their nose. Like finding a boyfriend wasn’t difficult enough.

How will people know you are smart?

I’ve noticed a comeback in men wearing the black 60′s eyeglasses. That doesn’t mean that I like it. I just noticed it is all. Every time I see this style I think “Why do you want to look like you work at NASA?”

Lane Kim was definitely someone who could rock glasses. In fact, both Zach & Mrs. Kim were distraught when Lane switched to contacts. Zach even says that now people will have to talk to her first instead of just knowing she is smart.

I have to confess that I feel the same way. I wear glasses when I need to give the impression that I’m smart. There is just something about glasses that says “I’ve ruined my eyes through many late nights of reading & I’m not ashamed to admit it.” When I see people with glasses, I automatically assume they are intelligent. What about you? Am I the only one who feeds into the stereotype?

Gilmores on the election

Regardless of who wins the election, I can only hope that they take a page from Jackson’s speech when he accepted the town selectman position. Granted, I probably wouldn’t try it my first term, but I definitely would my second. We know that they are always thinking it so why don’t they just say it already? I love how he recognizes that he doesn’t have time for this and it’s going to ruin his life.

Also, this year I will be taking a page from Rory’s book & switch the sticker you get when you vote from outfit to outfit. Then, I will not steal a boat so my Mom won’t have to freak out about whether or not this jeopardizes my right to vote.
