May the Gods honor our sacrifices this day!

Fall is my favorite season of the year, what passes for fall this far south anyway, so bring it on!

Autumn it's my least favorite season of the year. It's like Spring but with just the sucky parts of it (rain, cold and work).

so far it's been the best fall here in recent memory, but the dark is already encroaching rapidly soon it'll only be bright from 9-15 :(

Autumn is my absolute favourite season, especially its initial part which tends towards sunny in Poland.

Autumn is like a middle aged person who does not have to prove anything to anyone and can just relax but is still young enough to enjoy fruit of his or her labour.

I like Autumn when it behaves like Autumn.  When it thinks it's summer is when we have issues.

I can understand liking Autumn in places with crappy weather (like say Eastern United States) but on the whole Autumn is not that great.

Well in places without crappy weather it does not really exist. But some of us like cooler weather every once in a while.

What kind of sick fuck doesn't like autumn?

People who like warm temperatures and sunlight. Fuck no, I don't want to go to work and leave work when it is dark out. And then the fun of wearing appropriate layers for outside and then sweating up a storm on the subway.
