What are you doing for Halloween?

Since the last few years I've had less and less kids come to the door so this year I'm just going out to eat. I did buy a bag of candy just in case, but knowing my luck I'll get like twenty kids. Seems the neighborhood kids all grew up since I moved into this house 13 years ago. What's so odd is that an elementary school is just a block away.

I used to go all out on Halloween with a grave yard, fog, zombies, and sound effects, etc. Not so anymore. Maybe that will change if I had kids.

I thought you weren’t allowed within 1000 yards of an elementary school.

We haven't had any trick or treater's in the last 15 years or so. We live in a subdivision a couple miles out of town, I think all the parents take their kids in town for more treats.

you are looking at it. Another year, another place where I can't actually hand out candies. Kinda bumming me out.

Gonna log into OP's forums and masturbate furiously.

It's a holiday, do something you don't do every other night.

I'm gonna stand on my front porch with a bowl of Snickers in one hand and a running chainsaw in the other hand. I want to see how greedy those little bastards really are.

Sitting on the porch waiting for kids. I'll probably get a nice big glass of whisky shortly. Ideally, I'll get exactly 24 kids. That's how many candy bars I bought. Worst case scenario is I have to break into my delicious Love Crunch granola bars. Those are mine!

edit:
23 remain

Shit, already lost count, but I'm down another 5 or so. The Schogetten's seem to be popular though.

I just saw my first slutty Harley of the year.
Bad news is she was about 12 so I kinda feel a little sick to my stomach.

Watching some TV while dinner is cooking. After that I'm going to do some more working from home on the old laptop.

Two candy bars left. There's more kids this year. Looks like I'll have to get into the granola bars :^(

Posting to AT, like usual. I guess. I was going to hand out USB flash drives last year, but didn't get any visitors.

Thought I heard an egging earlier, hey kids, not my fault maintenance hasn't fixed my buzzer yet.

Went out with a flashlight, didn't see anything dripping.

Doing what I usually do but also watching Halloween.

Got about 15 little kids, nobody over the age of about ten. No one in the last ~30 minutes. One had the nerve to say, "I won't be coming back next year!" as he walked away. Little shithead. I hope he chokes on the crappy malted milk balls he took. :D

About ready to go in. When I finish my whisky, I'll call it a night. Looks like I lost six granola bars. Gonna have to get 35 candy bars next year.

edit:
-9 granola bars. Sigh... :^(

I'm working on a project. Kids? Nada, no kids. I would like to think that the funeral home helps but it's probably the attack goose. Whatever, concrete geese don't eat.

Told the wife that I was going to paint his eyes red. She wasn't amused. WTH? Humorless people in my life.

Concrete geese eat less than the emus I wanted to get. Less liability also, since I don't think they'll kick the shit out of kids.

Heh, but the wife might kick mine. I keep moving it around the yard to "get her attention" in the early AM.:D

Damned thing is heavy so I might have to find something else to give her grief.
