                    on "Halloween"
                     You humans
                    are certainly a peculiar species. You wish to have what you
                    call "fun" by "celebrating" all sorts of
                    nonsensical things. I was outraged recently when a group of
                    your offspring came to my door. First off, these ungrateful
                    little humans did not even kneel before me. They were all
                    dressed in ridiculous attire, and when I asked them why they
                    were dressed like so, they said "It's Halloween silly!
                    Trick or Treat!" They actually had the NERVE to DEMAND
                    a "trick or treat" from me!? 
                     
                    It is I,
                    General Zod... your ruler, who should be demanding from
                    them! Not the other way around. When I told them I would be
                    giving them no tricks or treats they became even more
                    despicable. Things soon got intolerable when one of them who
                    was dressed up like the skeletal remains of a human said,
                    "What a dumb costume you have mister! Give us our
                    candy!" 
                     
                    
                      
                    A picture
                    taken just seconds before Zod crushed the skeleton boy's
                    head 
                     
          
  
                Naturally,
                I crushed the boy's head and all of the other children went
                running off into the night screaming for their legal guardians
                to save them. They even left their bags behind them. Puzzled by
                such peculiar children, I looked inside their bags and was
                horrified. There were dozens of colorful "treats" in
                these bags. But one of the treats in particular caught my eye. 
                     
                
                  
                I DEFY YOU
                "EVERLASTING GOBSTOPPERS"!
                     
                "Everlasting
                Gobstoppers". Do you humans actually think that you could
                make something which was truly "EVERLASTING"? If these
                candies are representative of your "everlasting"
                technologies I SCOFF at them! And I SCOFF AT EVERY ONE OF YOU! 
                     
                I 
                was able to devour these "Everlasting Gobstoppers"
                within mere seconds. I crushed them in between my teeth, and I
                could hear their screams with every mighty bite. Your
                "Everlasting Gobstopper" technology has failed you.
                They cannot stop me. I have defeated them. I ate them and the
                boxes in which they were contained. And neither proved to be
                "everlasting". 
                     
                You
                were all very foolish to try to create something that I could
                not destroy. I am your ruler and I am the only thing on this
                planet that is truly EVERLASTING!  
                     
                And
                furthermore, from this day forth, "Halloween" will be
                celebrated with a new rule. You will no longer have your
                children celebrate "witches" and "ghosts"
                and other similarly absurd concepts. From now on, your children
                will all dress up just like their ruler, General Zod. Halloween
                will be a celebration of my greatness! If the children fail to
                make a worthy tribute to me... they will be killed along with
                their guardians. And I do not like the name
                "Halloween", so I have decided to change that as well
                to make it more suitable for all... ZOD-O-WEEN. Much better. 
                     
                So
                now I will leave you with your failed Everlasting Gobstopper
                technology to look at the greatest "pumpkin carving"
                ever made. Only I did not have to use crude tools to carve my
                pumpkin like you mortals do. I simply used my eye lasers... 
                     
                
                  
                HAPPY ZOD-O-WEEN YOU PATHETIC MORTALS! 
                     
                KNEEL
                    BEFORE ZOD!
                    
                      
          
                back
                to Zod home
