Hi all, or you!
Halloween is a strange celebration. Like anything else, it has both pros and cons. It's a time for fun and creativity. You can be someone/something completely different than who you are. A day when you can give to, and take candy, from total strangers. Best of all, there are no traditional family get togethers or church services to attend, like some other holidays . O.k. there's probably a few Satan worshiping events, but the main goal is to have fun and pig out on candy!
I remember a cartoon from years ago, the Appletons? The father is shown putting scoops of ice cream in the trick or treaters bags. Then it shows "The next morning" and he's out in the front yard, shoveling up loot from all the bags that broke, as a result of the melting ice cream.
I had my own twist on that. I always make a super healthy supper on Halloween. I would make sure that there were some leftover veggies so that I could offer the children a choice at the door. Would you like this? *holding out a big bowl of candy* or this? *offering a bowl of steamed beets or brussel sprouts*. The looks on the children's, and their parents faces, was hilarious.
A couple of years ago I had another idea. I put a bowl of raw brussel sprouts at the front door and the first "gimme gimmie", rude trick or treater got a couple of brussel sprouts snuck into his bag, instead of candy. After a while, I started just randomly sneaking a brussel sprout in, here and there. I remember bursting out laughing every once in a while, as I imagined the bags being dumped out and- WTF? A brussel sprout!?!
Here's a fun halloween project for all you meat eaters: http://makeprojects.com/Project/Meat-Head/294/1

I usually hand out Malboros, they come 20 in a pack, and the kids love them. |

I loved the parties and the dressing up aspect of it. Especially going to Haunted Houses.

I've outgrown the party part of halloween, being 44 years old, and a dad of two young kids, it's for them now. We take them trick or treating and let them have all the fun. The only thing now is have them figure out what they want to dress up as, and then see if we can afford the costumes they want.
PF: I'll come by your place, I like the idea of free Marlboros. |

^^No you haven't. Halloween is for adults too. Trick-or-treating is the little kiddy thing. Wild parties, haunted houses, raves, improv, role-play, etc is for the adults. No kids allowed. |

Bart Fargo-are you allowing yourself to turn into an old fart??? Are you the guy that yells "get off my lawn"??? Halloween is meant to give us "old folks" an excuse to let our hair down and have fun. Remember, a big part of parenting is that you're teaching your children by example. So make sure that they aren't learning that a young man of 44 is too old to have fun!

Fartina, you are making an assumption that Bart has hair to let down. This is one of those "issues" that guys get sensitive about around this age... |

Fartina, that was the most disgusting (and ingenious) OP link I've seen here.
I'll share it with a RL Mexican colleague whose Día de los Muertos parties are famous.
Hallowe'en.
Love it, especially in the context of world-wide practices. Click here for a Wiki overview. |

Yes, I also found that photo disgusting. As a 30+ year vegetarian I often encounter disgusting meat related sights and smells. When I posted, I wondered if any meat eaters would also find it disgusting.
Carrying on with all things Halloween, here's some more yummy snacks:

I typically shave my legs, get the fishnets w/garters, stilettos a short skirt, add the falsies and a sheer blouse, full makeup and a wig, then hit the clubs.
On Halloween, I usually just stay home. |

I love Halloween, especially now that my son is old enough to Trick or Treat. This will be our second year to go out. |

That is the best part for me, taking the kids trick or treating. I'm not trying to sound like an old fuddy duddy or anything. But having my kids play dress up, jumping around so excited and getting candy. For me that is what makes halloween fun now. If a party does pop up and I get invited, sure I will join in |

I've been offered cans of beer and shots of liquor while Trick or Treating with the little ones. Once the kids were old enough to go out on their own they asked if they could. I thought about some of the things I did and told them no, get back to your homework.
One of the things that everyone should do is to bury a raw egg, not a brussel sprout, in the bottom of the candy bowl. When the teenager with no costume pushes the 3 year olds aside, sticks out the pillow case and says "gimmie gimmie" you should reach down, palm the egg, grab a candy and stick your entire hand into the pillowcase before you let go. If they are polite and don't push the toddlers over condoms are easier to toss in the bag. You can keep them in your pocket, palm them and then make a show of putting your hand into the candy bowl.
It is Trick or Treat. |

I'm looking forward to being hit on by slightly less than sober single soccer moms. Last year, I was flattered but uncomfortable. This year, single, I'll be able to enjoy the flattered part.
I plan on decorating my house and handing out treats after I drop my son off. I really like the idea of the raw egg or brussel sprout - I won't give out candy to anyone who behaves like that. |

OMG, I forgot about the less than sober single soccer moms. So the little ones stand at the door while the LTSSSM in the low cut princess or pirate wench outfit takes the candy bowl and bends waaaay over. Normally I would look away but since the kids are involved I want to keep an eye on them at all times of course. On the way up I get the smile and then the eye.
I once palmed off a pack of firecrackers to the neighbor boy. I should have given him the condoms as he became a sperm donor. |
