The best response to "Trick or treat" (which i used tonight)
"Trick eh? can you do backflips?" followed by closing the door and returning to playing on my computer

Next year I'm planning on getting someone to open the door while I fling a bucket of water all over those silly little kids.. haha, I must remember to video it

I guess shouting trick or treat as you open the door makes it more 'legit'

Very wise. Have you seen Mr Scumdog's avatar? You could have gotten done for impersonating a police officer.

True, true Mr Ixion, immitation may be the sincerist form of flattery but I have my standards to uphold and do not need lacksadaisical copy-cats ruining my image.

Sorry, not where I'm from. It was the biggest night of the year when I was growing up, rivalled only by Christmas Eve; we hollowed out turnips (neep lanterns), and took a lot of pride in making our own costumes and coming up with imaginative designs for the aforementioned neep lanterns. We called it 'guising', and used to come up with plays, jokes, and songs, putting on a little show at each house we visited. Meanwhile the adults had a party and got really battered.

Our happy little feral band would rock up in the wee hours of the morning, pumped full of sugar and manic glee, pockets solid with change.

The American, petulant 'gimme something for nothing or I'll throw stuff at you' version is pretty anaemic by comparison, IMHO.

Hmm, you would probably be o.k. re the ticket thing.

But my concern would be the mask getting blown over your eyes while you were riding - they're sort of designed for the amount of air going past at walking speed, not 80kph plus.

Got some dropkicks for neighbours up the road, so called professionals. Came home from work for my dinner break and there are two young boys dripping wet and crying. From what I could gather some farktard threw a bucket of cold water over these two 7 & 8 year olds thinking it was funning. Well guess what, it effing wasn't. Spend part of my break getting towels and phoning their parents. I'm seriosly thinking that some peoples' brains are poked. If it was my kid, I'd be hopping mad and wanting to sort the tards out. So ZeroIndex, are you the same sort of tard as these arsewipes? I thought you was an OK sort of lad, am I wrong?

I did a nice subtle trick.

I had one visit. They got the frozen Moro I put in the freezer on Sunday.

"See, I really did mean wait until you get home."

I was randomly tricked last night, still not really clear on who was responsible. I think I was the victim of a random, unprovoked attack.

Anyway, as I headed out to my car last night a bunch of teenage girls were clambering over the fence giggling. They disappeared without me recognising anyone and I was left thinking "random" *mental shrug*

So I drove off, and had just got onto Cobham Drive (no stop zone) when this sickly sweet, vomity smell started invading the car. The little brats put something in my vents. Nicely done, but I thought they were supposed to ask for a treat first?

Oh, cool cartoon below.

Not if you don't know how to spell the dude's name, you weren't.

'Fawkes' is not a plural.

If your mum's still around, give her a call sometime and point out that having a baby born cognitively impaired is no excuse for subsequently dropping it on its head.
