quicko: HAPPY halloween

And yet another point Australians tend to mess up miserably: they don't realize that Halloween costumes don't have to be spooky, but that HAPPY ones are also just as acceptable. I've tried explaining this to Australians, but to no avail. They nod and smile to placate me, but, really, they just don't buy it. It's our little joke, they nod surreptitiously to each other, we know Halloween has to be scary, but, well, let's just humor the American.
