Take it from Snee: Psychoanalyzing your halloween costume

We all wear masks. Some of us put on the mask of a joker to hide internal turmoil and insecurity. Others put on a mask of nerdiness because it’s easier to disguise you’re stupid by watching a lot of Star Trek instead of reading a goddamn book.

But, as Kierkegaard posited, “a midnight hour comes when everyone has to take of his mask.” But, what if Kierkegaard was wrong? What if the choice of mask itself tells us pretty much everything we need to know?

Cans of beer went all over the street. If there’s one thing Aussies hate it’s littering, so they scooped up all of the cans and kindly took them away less than 60 seconds after they hit the pavement.

We salute the civic-minded citizens of Australia.
