That's fun. I'm glad you mentioned it.

Did you ever play the character Buffalo Bob? "Should keep the little bastards for another day"?

Nah. Then the new Deomincrats would raise taxes.

Doesn't healthy movement require laxatives?

Which the little tykes filled with water and threw them at your house.

Just some dumb ass kids that came before it was dark. I didn't open the door. Then it began to rain and no one else came along. Good riddance. There aren't any kids living around here any longer.

We had problems years ago with TP-ing and other crap when boys still were living in the neighborhood.

Anyone else see the "trunk or treat" setups this year? It seemed to be kind of popular in several SE states. Families use a big parking lot, park their cars with the rear facing the center of the lot, open their trunks and decorate with halloween stuff. The kids go from car to car trick or treating. I guess it keeps kids more safe by being in a confined space and under lots of friendly eyes. If it catches on it might phase out the residential trick or treating.

An old hearse fixed up with ghastly decorations would be perfect for such an event. I think it's a great idea to keep children out of traffic. If the owner of a closed shopping center is smart, he would rent the lot out to some civic organization to organize the party.

My church has done that, a couple times. Just isn't the same as going to houses.

"OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) - Maryland State Police said a drunken

47-year-old Florida man wearing a diaper was arrested for shouting profanities while trick-or-treating. Police said Joseph David DiVanna of Sarasota, Fla., was arrested about 9:15 p.m. Sunday and charged with disorderly conduct."

I had 66 on Halloween, and 67 the day before. A lot always come the day before when Halloween is on a Sunday. I wish they wouldn't do that. I've considered not giving anything out on the wrong day, but it isn't the kids fault. Someone told be something about adults always getting drunk on Sunday nights.

The kids here seem to like cookies a lot more than candy. I'd rather give those out. Some seemed afraid of the flashing spider web lights.

Probably. On a similar note, we bailed on T&T this year and went to the nearest Riverboat Casino for the night. We got there it was a lot deader than usual. Around 8:30 (with most stopping "official" T&T at 8:00), people started rolling in. I mentioned that this was going to happen around 7:00 or so and my wife thought I was being cynical. I prefer realist.

Consider the materials and dispensing mechanisms the little dears had available 'in the field', and the volumes required.

More than usual --

We had fifty bags of cheesies and felt well prepared(def: lots left over for me) -- previous two years, we had ten to fifteen little kids and maybe half a dozen teenagers.

Ran out at 8:05. Could have used a dozen more. Dawned on me that the neighbourhood is changing. We're on a small circle -- in the last year, four families with young kids have moved in. I expect that is happening throughout our area -- as we have SCHOOLS our kids can walk to,

A couple of other surprises -- the costumes this year were more inventive than I remember, and the kids were all polite and a lot of fun. The little kids were very polite -- and the teenagers were good humoured, chatty and polite. All in all, a very pleasant few hours.

My wife says I was quite well behaved -- for me, at least. Only one transgression. I was getting tired of moms and dads peering suspiciously at me from around the corner of the house -- and when one was particularly so and particularly scowly -- I offered her kids a puppy just to watch the parents' faces.

Apparently,, I'm not all that funny.

You'd enjoy an email my son got. Evidently some homeowner decided to "trick" the trickers. As a group stood in his doorway, with open bags, yelling "Trick or Treat," the homeowner reached into one of the bags and took out a handful of candy.

"I'll give this to the less fortunate," the homeowner said.

"Great!" said one of the kids to his partner. "Another goddamn Democrat!"

Probably a joke.
