Grown-ups’ new schemes to ruin Halloween

[Charlespg]

They're easy to spot. They're the one who dress up every year as a wet blanket.

These crazies give Christians  a bad name

Halloween is just mocking the devil

The church ladies at FR have been running stories on the "evil" of Halloween all week. Pretty funny stuff.

There are evil things associated with Halloween.

Boxes of raisins
Necco wafers
Dum Dum lollipops
Hard sucking candy left over from last Christmas some old lady gives you.
Toothbrushes. Yes my father inlaw dentist has been know to give them.

I love Necco wafers. I remember evil apples and oranges, homemade popcorn balls my mom always made us throw away..as a matter of fact anything homemade she made us pitch.

I remember one couple every year gave each kid a $1.00 bill.  That was a lot of money back in the early 70's. Never missed that house. For 50 cents more that bought a Revell, Monogram or AMT model kit

There's a dentist in my town who is known as the must-hit house because he gives out some of the best candy to be had, bar none.  I'm thinking he's just trying to drum up more business.

Last night there was a tragedy in our neighborhood. The parents are so upset there is talk of banning Trick or Treating next year all Because someone saw a 4 door car not use their turn signal.  Oh the humanity.  The Children....

For my part, We ran out of candy by 7pm, so we started giving out cans of green beans, broccoli flowerets, 5 hour energy drinks and a few drink coasters and some shot glasses that we've collected/walked out with from various bars around country.

It was wise of you to dig deep for treats. I haven't read of others here wit this experience, but when we got the shaft from someone during Trick or Treat we used kill a Hobo and plant the evidence on that cheapskate person. They went to jail and never screwed anyone with treats again. I know it sounds like a real long con, but it was a small town and we had a lot of time on our hands.

Halloween is all but dead in our Connecticut suburban neighborhood.

Between 5 pm and 8 pm we had a total of 14 kids; maybe 5 of them were teenagers that didn't dress up at all.

[mirraflake]

We never get any kids..out in the middle of nowhere last house on the right dead end road.

You standing out there with a chainsaw  is not germane to the situation?

This year I had 8 children with their moms. I told each child to take two pieces of candy- I had kit kats and snickers. The kids were happy. The moms were happy, but one mom demanded I give candy to her 8 month old kid in a stroller. She had a pillow case and everything. So I gave mom two snickers because I was out of kit kats them.

Btw, those children and their moms were Indian.  I knew dang well the baby wasn't going to eat the candy. She just wanted more for her kids. But what what I to do? They are neighbors in my apt complex.

I have one snickers bar left out of the 20  candy bars I bought. I'm just going to throw it away or give it to one of my neighbors who is pregnant. I can't eat sugar anymore.

More likely me peeing in the yard when taking out our dogs to pee at the same time..seriously I have no neighbors-the closest is 3/8 mile away through woods.

Sounds like the Dentist from "The Fairly Oddparents"  (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried)

I love tat show. Wish I had a fairy godparent. I need one right now.

We live in a fairly rural area, 1 house per 5 to 20 acres, so I brought the imp to my mom's house. She lives in a high density area in the corner house on a main road through the area.  She got maybe 15 kids here.

[NavyCanDo]

We get typically between 60 and 100 kids spurred on mostly because of the church down the street holds a big alternate Halloween event and once the kids leave that they head through our neighborhood to make up for the lack of candy they get at the church. Last night due to rain, the number was at the low end.   It was also the first time I didn't have to answer the door, with my son, now 15 wanting to do it.   

[Applewood]

I have exactly 8 steps up to my front doir.  Kids are so lazy they won't climb them.

Just as well.  In my neighborhood, it's not wise to open your door to strangers -- even for little kids on Halloween.

Especially these kids.

I had a bout 20 kids this year, 18 more than last year.

Funny halloween joke from Church Curmudgeon.

Annual reminder to candy manufacturers:  "Fun" is not a size.  If it were, it would not be THAT size.

My one lady friend insists that I am rather "Fun"-sized.

Just add water, it makes its own sauce.

Don't make a fuss, just get on the bus.
