Are there many treaters?

[Kurt Ullman]

Yep. Next question?

Here in the western mountains of NC we had exactly zero. We even "decorated" a tree in front of the property with a bunch,

35 or 40, of orange pumpkins and lighted it. But, there are only 3 houses occupied in the subdivision right now. I wonder how the new people are doing in our old house. We heavily decorated with mechanical and pneumatic scary thing, lighting, and many channels of audio. We've had as many as 800. Two years ago, it rained the entire night and we had about 300 umbrella toting kids.

Don't get any, don't want any. Begging is a stupid holiday.

Never had one, not in the 25 years I've lived here. I LOVE the boonies!

Hi, I handed out ~100 candy bars. Weather was very good 10 deg. C. No wind, no snow.

Hi, Blaming anything bad onto some one else or something else type? It's just an old tradition.

There were more (220) here than last year (154). Not as many teenagers. I ran out of cookies but had enough candy.

Fantasy is an important part of life, at least when you KNOW it's fantasy. Most seem to do so with Halloween, unlike that OTHER fantasy.

Damn; you had a rush!

Clan Ranger's final tally: 8 boys, 10 girls, two parents, 30 lbs of candy I don't need left over.

How else will they learn to be good Republican politicians?

I agree. It's a socialist's holiday if there ever was one. I used to get insulted when we got turned away as kids. Now there are too many crazys to be knocking on anyone's door.

I was out of town for 6 months and got back the day before halloween. I close my shutters before I go away. So, they all knew I was gone and for how long. My lights were out and 2 of them still knocked. Buying candy is not high on my list after driving 1200 miles.

They should all go to a controlled enviroment like you said.

Funny you should say that. I think that's how I got started.

Not an Election Day fan ehhh?

Wait--did I miss something? Are you saying that the government gives out the candy? That's the only way I can make it work out to socialism.

Otherwise, it's a completely free transaction. The kids "earn" the candy by wearing costumes and walking around the neighborhood.
