Halloween - Please think of the children!

[Skyryder]

Another American tradition we don't need. Bit like lights on trees............crass and lacking any imagination.

This year I'm gonna ask any who come to my door if they know who Guy Fawkes is. If they can answer correctly they get lols if not I got a bag of of those awfull black jelly beans and a history lesson to boot..............but hey on second thoughts telling children about a guy who failed to blow up Parliment might land me a cell next to Iti.

Where we live they throw a type of party at the lake for the kids ... free sausages ... lolly scrambles and stuff .. the local churches put it on ... means no nasty little things come near my door and I appreciate that.

When we were twelve we went trick or treating and turned up to what (I understand now) was a large teenage Halloween piss-up, they gave us a bottle of cider. No joking.

[Luckylegs]

We've had two thus far... I wouldnt want to be the 3rd.

...Im just off out to replace the "beware of the dog" and "no trick or treating" signs to somthing more apt.

I have 6 bags of lollies and chocolates and i havn't had 1 knock on the door yet. Looks like pete will have to do the trick or treat tonight...

So what's your address then? And does dressing up like a scary biker count as a halloween costume?

[gijoe1313]

Got some aeroplanes and sour fish for the kiddies, and dolled up in my Boba Fett costume.

The looks I got from some of the little'uns was priceless! Some took a physical step backwards and eyes wide as saucers!

Little girls in princess outfits and fairies said "ooh! look! a knight!"

And the parents were like You could hear their thoughts "Thank god we came with our kids!"

And of course, a pic to show that I am ... BobaJoeFett! :spudbn:

[trump-lady]

But one kid came so off I went to the supermarket to get candy

No bastards been since

or on my voluptuous thighs

sighhhhhhhhh

[Mom]

Just call us the Grinch-dogs.

Can I borrow that expression?

I have carefully placed punga fronds over the bear trap in front of our front door, and have a trigger-pack with acid ready to douse any residual wee dears that manage to push the doorbell that is wired into the mains.

Mean and horrible man you are!

No wonder you scored so high on that "how evil are you" test.

Who meeeee NO mate you have me all wrong I am sweetness personified!

"WIFE SICK OF HALLOWEEN... ENTER AT OWN RISK"

Yep and guess what we decided to have to eat tonight?.........stir fry, yum and time sensitive to boot. Turned it off the first time to go downstairs and the little *&%$@s had gone next door! Back upstairs muttering, wok back on happily stirring (as you do) another visit sees me stomping and muttering down the stairs, got to the door, 6 or so friends of my daughter dressed as they thought I did back in some age that they imagined.......LOL..told them to go annoy the rest of the neighbourhood


I come from Canada and Halloween is a big deal there, but not here. Mind you i think that we will have to adapt, it will not go away........... now what was that about mains supply to the door bell?

[Wolf]

Happy Beltane, everyone.

No kids have knocked on our door tonight.

[jonbuoy]

[98tls]

I just let the dog go nuts behind the front door until they piss off,then we eat the lollies Border collies love chocolate fish for what its worth.

[98tls]

Ya miserable fuckers its one day a year!

[Mikkel]

Saw a few kids while we were riding along the road through Govenor's bay. They really seemed to like the bikes... They never managed to say trick or treat though.

[Meekey_Mouse]

Gah, don't get me started... Stupidest thing ever...
