We sometimes used to do an experiment along similar lines - instead of handing out the candy, we just held out the huge bowl and let kids take what they wanted.  But I don't do it any more.  I kind of felt sorry for the good kids who, when presented with this bounty, would say "How many?", sometimes kind of nervously. It seemed actually more stressful than fun for some of them.  I guess those were the ones who knew they were being tested.  And in comparison, the ones who just dug in and grabbed handfuls seemed like appalling creatures - which isn't entirely fair, because what about the situation told them that this was the wrong way to behave?

We have a container half-full of Dum Dum lollipops that is at least four years old.  Those are reserved expressly for kids who show up that are too old to be trick-or-treating and couldn't even bother to put on a damn costume.  We have better stuff for the legit kiddies.

We asked Lizzie a couple months ago what she wanted to be for Halloween.  "A cloud."  "What?  A clown?"  "No, a cloud!  Like in the sky!"  Mrs. del Vaca, once again being game and crafty, made her a little white pullover and sewed fluffy white pillow stuffing onto it.

Catherine was some sort of psycho clown princess, stuff thrown together from our dress-up box.  It was effective.  She's a bit too young to completely get it.  Elizabeth sure as hell gets it though--they got home, she dumped out her treat bucket and sorted through everything, and then asked to go visit more houses!

thanks to weight-watchers, my mom was dedicated to passing out only pretzels this year.  PRETZELS!  with no more than 6 in a bag.  i counted.  i spent the evening with her and my brother hoping to experience a little bit of the trick and treating since my neighborhood is all about the smoking crack, but even in their safe and child-ridden neighborhood we only got 5 or 6 all night.

Pretzels, or anything that goes into a plastic baggie and was not pre-wrapped in a factory always went right into the garbage can in my house.

Anyone else try to watch Mark Borchardt and Mike Shenk (from American Movie) attempt to host "Night of the Living Dead" on G4 Halloween Night? It was kind of amusing and some of the little info bits and interview snippets with George Romero were pretty funny. I still wonder if they aren't really putting on the goofiness of their personas but I'm starting to believe that's how they really are.

Best costume of the night:  Kid aroung 9 had on one of those half-head masks of Elvis, a t-shirt he had drawn on to make look like a football jersey and a plastic axe.  I asked him who he was supposed to be and he proclaimed proudly "Elivis and Miscellanious Costume!" 

Screw "best costume of the night"; this may well be the best costume of all time.

OMG, are you allowed to make a child wear a wig like that? Are you sure the county won't come and take her away?

[Carlos del Vaca]

As long as we don't also make her carry a sign saying "JOHN 3:16," it's OK.

I didnt' have any trick or treaters because I was testing out for my EMT-II class. I did pass the practical exams, though, so once I get my written results I'll be legit. Not being home for trick-or-treating worked out well because I don't trust myself around candy. Had I bought any for the purposes of handing it out to trick-or-treaters, I would have just ended up passed out on the floor with an overturned candy bowl, a chocolate-smeared face, and an enlarged pancreas.

Hi, uh, is that sort of oddly sensuous posting so common as to pass without comment for four days?

I appreciated it lady.

There ye have it, a man aroused by an enlarged pancreas.

Also, V - I forgot, the kid also had a black cape.
