Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Trick or treat, smell my feet.
Give me something good to eat.
If you don't, I won't be sad.
I'll just make you wish you had!

Fired up! Ready to go!
Halloween is the weirdest fucking holiday. We tell our kids never to take things from strangers, and then we let our kids go out at night and take candy from strangers!

When I was growing up in small town Ohio, it was still pretty safe to go out.
But, even then, there was always the stories of sick individuals.
We would come home with shopping bags full of candy!
Incidentally, the first picture is one I took of a hot-air balloon at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta!

Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult!
I'm all for trick or treating for the kids. But isn't there a rule that if your porch light isn't on your not giving away candy? I just wondered because I just got home and was here for no more than 2 minutes. All I want to do is grub on the steak and shake I just bought for dinner and some kid and his mom knock on the door. I politely tell them that I'm not passing out candy and the bitch flipped out on me.
I say "Mam my porch light isn't on for a reason"
She cusses me out for about thirty seconds telling me and I quote "It's mother fuckers like you who are ruining the holidays for all of our kids".
S&G almost had to choke a bitch but my cooler head prevailed and I just shut the door.
BTW I live in an apartment. I would think people would take their kids to a safer neighborhood to go trick or treating.

Watson, Crick & A Twist
First, I'm all for the kids having fun, getting dressed up and getting their candy - it is, as S & G reports the adults who end up being the dickheads.
Living in Da Burg it was the absolute worst.
Halloween was typically run from 6 through 8 on an evening. You could count on the neighborhood kids coming by. At least, in our first year there, that was what what we had in mind would happen.
Instead of that relaxed and laid back chance to hand out the goodies to Tom and Beth from #2018 what we received was a seemingly never-ending parade of groups of kids. None of whom were from the neighborhood, nor the adjacent developments. They were being brought in by Passenger van, by bus. They were walking over a couple of miles to make it from their borough into ours. All in the name of maxing out on the candy. The ones driving this out-of-control train were not the kids, it was the parents.
These interlopers would arrive like a swarm of locusts - devouring the contents of every dish of candy. Changing the time of the Candy give-away didn't help, somehow, through a secret underground network these roving bands of poorly costumed candy cravers, and their parents-in-crime found out the new time. In truth that didn't matter to the worst interlopers. "Your Halloween is from 6 to 8? That's stupid!" quoth one visiting parent (passel full of kids of all ages in tow), "Why yes, and that's why the candy is all gone." (And if you lived remotely close to here you would know this, it was writ large in the Neighborhood newsletter). Woe bedite anyone that didn't have remaining gimmes. The wrath of those importuning parents was upon you!
After the first year, I asked the neighbors if this was a regular thing. They shook their heads and said yes. In fact, once they had cleaned out our streets it was off to another development to run through their offerings - and as I indicated above, many had no compunction about when they turned up.
Beginning the next year I took to holding aside bags (generous ones) of candy for the neighbors kids. Made sure they got theirs. Then when these unknown folks that we didn't see but one evening per year, who didn't know me, or my family, turned up they got their choice of candy from a bowl left outside by the door. And, should one of these other locusts have been greedy enough to take more than their share, so what? I reckoned that they could divvy it all up when they got back into their caravan of cars and passenger vans and buses.
Oh, yes and Happy Halloween.

I give up. This board is too hard to understand.
we took our kids to the Mall... it seems almost every kid in Sarasota ended up there as the place was packed.... we went from store to store and the employees handed out candy, stickers and some small toys. I would like nothing more than to be able to go door to door with my kids like my parents did with me but not alot of people in our neighborhood were handing out candy... after we got back my wife took our boys over to a few of the neighbors and they said they only had about five kids come by... a person I work with this morning said they had 1 person come by, another had three....
We had a good time... my kids were a firefighter, a doctor and a princess... they got a crap load of candy... but it seems Halloween for them (like everything else) will never be like it was for us.
