The Slice: Anybody else going as Yoda?

Another holiday come and gone. So I guess now it’s time for Halloween stuff to start showing up in stores. Let’s move on.

“Close enough: They must not have spent time on acronyms at Vacation Bible School. Because Cindy Hval’s 5-year-old son Sam came home and reported that he had enjoyed his week at “PBS.”

Maybe they watched that great “Frontline” on the historical Jesus.

“Today’s Pet Peeve: It bugs Betty Zachow when TV networks refer to airing an “encore” presentation of a show. Just call it a rerun and be done with it, she says.

“Kissing Department: “Once I kissed a boy during church,” wrote Marlee Nelson, 16, of Deer Park. “We were both 6. I still remember the look on his face — a combination of surprise and pleasure, which made the conquest well worth it.”

At most Sunday services, though, a friendly handshake will suffice.

Kristi Luttrull said the mostly forgotten celebrity she once had a thing for was Glen Campbell. She insists she was too young to know better. But apparently she had it bad.

“I even kissed the screen when he was on TV,” she said.

And that was before high-definition.

Of course, as someone who once tried erasing Betty and Veronica’s blouses, I’m in no position to laugh.

“The Slice’s Top Four Glen Campbell songs (Hey, some of you liked these, too): 1. “Gentle on My Mind.” 2. “By the Time I Get to Phoenix.” 3. “Wichita Lineman.” 4. “Galveston.”

“Graphic design critique: You know that newsletter inserted in last Thursday’s newspaper about the Spokane Regional Light Rail Project? Well, at least one Slice reader thought the big smushed-together “Let’stalk” atop the first page looked like “Let’s stalk.”

And, of course, that’s an altogether different newsletter.

“Slice answer (coping with chilly water): “Paul, when I emerge from a cold dip I usually turn to face my wife and say in a loud, quavering falsetto, ‘Come on in, the water’s fine,’ ” said Ken Stout, who admits he lifted that routine from Bill Cosby.

“If we created a festival inspired by you and your first name: At “Edfest,” people would gather in Spokane from all over the world to sing Gregorian chants, said GU professor of music Ed Schaefer.

Yeah, just what we need. Another event populated by sweaty people in tank tops and sunglasses.

“Today’s Slice questions: How often do guys named Otis have to put up with people shouting, “Otis, my man!” because of a scene in “Animal House”? How often do people named Hogan have to hear Colonel Klink impressions — you know, “Ho-Gunnnnn”?
