MUST BE THE SEASON OF THE . . .

With Halloween fast approaching, it makes sense for those with an affinity for the holiday to get their message out. So it was with little surprise that we opened a pitch from Witch School International in Rossville, Ill., to remind everyone that you don’t need special powers to practice magic, just the knowledge that they teach. The school markets itself as offering a wide-ranging curriculum, and the prices seem reasonable for such classes as “Basic Spell Writing,” “Crystal and Gem Magic” and “Heathenry.” Listen, if they can teach us a spell on how to get that guy three cubes over to stop clearing his throat—LOUDLY— every three frickin’ MINUTES, we’ll sign up Today.
