hardly any kids last night...

Kids tend to go to affluent areas these days. We were slammed.

So you drove a van or busload of kids to an affluent area? Very good of you to be such a trooper.

We went to the festival at the Cowboy Church in Waxahachie. Free food and drinks, games, mechanical bull, animals, pony rides, tons of prizes and give aways, candy out the ass... Why would people send their kids door to door anymore?

Did I miss where you moved back to the States?

I love Halloween, so my my whole yard is tricked out with all kinds of lights, zombies, fog machines, etc. Last night I handed out the candy while a buddy of mine in a bloody clown mask chased kids with my chainsaw and another buddy in a werewolf costume crept around in my graveyard scaring the crap out of people. My decorations are famous in my hood, so much so that we have to block the street off. I'll bet I had a steady flow of 200+ parents & kids out in front of my house and the neighbors' houses on either side for at least an hour and a half. I was giving 1-2 pieces of candy per kid and ended up going through 12 big bags of candy!!!

I'm pretty cool about handing out candy to all the kids - young and older. The only people that piss me off are the 20+ year olds that walk up with a 6 week old baby and a shopping bag asking for candy. Last night I had a lady that had to have been over 40 carrying a few month old baby asking for candy. I asked her whether the candy was for her or the baby, but it was such a madhouse that I never heard her answer. Those are the people that I grab a handful of candy, act like I'm putting it in their bags, rustle it around in my hand like I'm dropping it in there and then pull it back out without giving them a damn thing. They smile or say thank you thinking I gave them a bunch and walk off fat, dumb and happy.

There was not a thread made, but yes he is back and here to stay I believe since he bought two new cars and got the Purdy reach around special on both...

a few things.....

1. how about we dont fly down the street in the car in the pitch black when we know there are kids out.

2. we are so lazy that we cant be bothered to walk around with our kids, we have to drive them door to door and or follow them in the car. squeeze in a little quality time with your kid.

3. dont have a bigger goat that me and no costume and expect candy as we will ask you to do a backflip.

4. halloween grinch rant off. feel free to add!

god bless.

Mobile road humps

Middle of the road for us. This was the first go around in the new house. It was quite busy between 7 and 8 and that was about it....and it was mainly younger neighborhood kids. None of the middle school kids not dressing up with pillow cases or folks that dont live in the hood which was a nice change from how it was at our previous house.

The previous hood had alot of kids from the surrounding oldish apartments. The new hood isnt near a bunch of apts and is kinda hidden from the main road so that seems to keep it to the locals.

My neighborhood was decent but it sure as hell wasn't like it was when I was a kid, what's up with kids starting to trick or treat at 5? I remember we wouldn't start till it got dark.

We had no trick or treaters until I turned out the lights and took down the yard decorations. Some grown man came to the door around 11 with a hoodie on holding a trash bag and said trick or treat. I told him to fuck off you aren't a damn kid.

Psshhhh there are no black people around my hood.

No kids at all on our street. I'm kinda torn on it. It's nice living in a quieter neighborhood, not having a shit ton of kids running up and down the street all the time, riding through my yard, bumping into parked cars, etc. But I like seeing the kids that are out for the Halloween fun instead of just to causing trouble. We do live right across the street from a much pricier neighborhood where they hand out the good shit at Halloween though.

Hell, when I lived in this house with my grandparents as a kid (4th & 5th grade)I never trick or treated here. I went across the road and cleaned up like a boss. One house even gave out $5 bills a few years in a row. My buddy and I visited that house 7 times one Halloween. We would have tried more but we ran out of random shit to change in to. Besides the cash, we went to drool over the Ferrari sitting in the driveway.

Weed??


Anyone ever try to give the kids the most sugar filled candy available or maybe some small double shot expresso cans? Someone on my FB said that is what they are going to do...it sounded like a fun idea.
