    (inspired from A-Train's thread)

    I'm giving out Willy Wonka candy because I get the left-overs of course. Those little boxes of Nerds rule.

    Bit-O-Honey's are so good, a lot of people I know dont like them. I love those things.

    As for me, I'm not handing out anything, my parents are handing our Reese Cups and I eat the leftovers :)

    I think I'll go play ball so that I can avoid all the little kids.

    I can't decide whether to dip the candy in arsenic or strichnine this year...

    I'm skipping halloween candy to go over my friend's house and watch WWE tonight (they turn off their porch lights and don't hand out candy), mainly because of what happened last year.

    ...last year, I had this epic "haunted house" set up in my garage. I had a big sheet stained with blood, bloody bones littered all over the work bench, bloody skeleton, spiderwebs, blacklight, scary music, and a bloody half-arm with a sign behind it saying, "This is what happened to the last kid that took my candy"...as an added bonus, I even outlined my dog in chalk on the driveway and put a big blood spot by the head.

    The plan was to get the kids to come in and get the candy from my wife, then right as they got the candy, I'd pop out from my kitchen with my hockey mask on and chainsaw blaring (with the chain off, of course), then have my friend pop out of this little closet that's in my garage with his scream mask and butcher's knife as the kids were running out.

    You know how many kids came by all night? Six....SIX F*CK*NG KIDS!! All that work and effort basically wasted. I did make two kids cry that night, though, so it was partially worth it...I don't think my neighbor has forgiven me yet. :D

    Yeah, it's not like it used to be. My neighborhood was swarming with kids on Halloween when I was young. Now all the parents take them to the mall. Ugh.

    Damn, that sucks. At least no parents attacked you for scaring the kids.

    A couple of years ago, I was taking my kids through a haunted house at the annual "Boo at the Zoo". I was carrying my then 3 year old because, of course, he started getting scared. I turned a corner and someone in a mask came charging at me and my three year old. Instinctively, I stiff-armed this guy right across the mask and his mask flew off. I felt bad for the guy because I'm sure he didn't realize how close I was when he charged out for the scare. My kids, on the other hand, were very excited that I "beat up the monster"

    When they come to the door I bring little fund raiser forms to the door and ask THEM if THEY would like to buy anything.. That'll teach them for doing it to me all year ;)
