Re: I remeber Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The kids are out with their mom this year. I usually just put candy in a bowl by the front door, but this year decided to hand it out. It's been fun so dar, but not a ton of kids.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Re: I remeber Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It only takes one kid who realizes that they're masked up and that it qualifies as trick and treat to dump the bowl in their bag. Surely there must be one little asshole in the neighbourhood.Flex wrote: ↑31 Oct 2021, 6:29pmDr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Oct 2021, 6:23pmYou mean normally you do it by some kind of honour system, that they won't grab fistfuls?

Re: I remeber Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah. I’m usually out with the kids, so best I can do is leave a bowl. It’s always empty when we get back. I’m certain kids just empty the bowl, but I’d rather have an empty bowl out front than be known as the neighbor who doesn’t take part in trick or treat.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Oct 2021, 6:23pmYou mean normally you do it by some kind of honour system, that they won't grab fistfuls?WestwayKid wrote: ↑31 Oct 2021, 6:03pmThe kids are out with their mom this year.

Re: I remeber Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im always amused by people who do this and are dismayed that someone took all of the candy.
