Happy Halloween!

Nutmeg started off the show by clucking like a chicken for several minutes. She then explained that her co-worker came to work in a chicken costume and described her fun day at work, as she herself went to work dressed as Michael Jackson. Nutmeg discussed Halloween-its history, folklore, costumes, and traditions. She read most of the facts from The History Channel's website, and spoke of stories her grandfather told her about Mischief Night and how it was in the 1930s. Nutmeg diverted and spoke about October holidays in general- particularly Columbus Day, and how he really didn't discover America, just introduced it to the rest of the world, and with his ignorant reporting of finding "savages", brought on an extermination of many indigenous cultures. Luisa PintoPereira called in all the way from Portugal to somewhat debate Nutmeg on this issue, and both Luisa and Nutmeg discussed Brazilians and their individual experiences and beliefs. Luisa recommended that Nutmeg read "Carta de Pêro Vaz de Caminha", and Nutmeg is very intrigued and really wants to read it.
