    I trick or treated at like 14 last, but then pulled a Brett Favre and came back to the game at 19 for one last go round.

    Fittingly, (seeing as how I mentioned Brett Favre), I wore normal clothes, a glittery hat, and had a picket sign that read (Nudist on Strike). It was an idea posted on this board.

    YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD.

    When your voice changes, that's God's way of telling you to buy your own candy.

    Unless of course, you're chaperoning kids. Then its fair game, but don't knock on doors. Just make your kids tip you.

    I trick or treated my senior year of HS. If you're in costume I say you can go all of the way through high school. I would not had out candy to people not in costume- you've got to earn it by entertaining me with a cool costume. There were 2 years I didn't trick or treat in high school though.

    I don't think most men would have a problem with you knocking on their doors dressed up in a costume. To be honest, some men would probably pay you to do so.

    When I was growing up, it was always teenage boys with no costumes and pillowcases ringing my doorbell. I did grow up in a fairly poor neighborhood.

    When I was in high school, I always volunteered to bring my much younger brother trick-or-treating. It was an excuse, but I think everyone saw right through it.

    When I was 33 I had to take a friend of mine's two 14 year old sisters Trick or Treating. It seemed kind of weird as while these two girls were very sheltered and naive they had developed physically early and wore some rather flattering pirate outfits. On top of that they made me wear a set of angel wings.

    Even though I was just there chaperone them in their own neighborhood I still got some candy though.

    11, after which you point you should be taking your younger siblings or just watching premium cable to learn new cuss words and sexual slang.

    Until they open the door and say, "Aren't you a little old to be trick-or-treating?"

    I'm surprised trick or treating ever made a comeback after it came to a halt in the mid 70s.

    Yep. He analyzed it for me. For some reason, though, I think he thought it was Greg Oden's.
