I opened a fridge, said "Hello weenies" and made a hot dog.

Have you just woken up from a coma, or were you banned right before making this thread month ago, but decided to go with it anyway?

Went trick or treating with friends, then went back to one of their houses and traded candy until we were all satisfied. It was quite fun

I haunted the Off Topic forums with my particular style of comedy.
I also played a significant amount of Left 4 Dead 2, with 1348 of my closest fiends.

Spooky dentist. This guy was one of the weirdest I have seen in my life.

I had halloween almost two months earlier than this in Disneyland Florida, got a nice big bag of sweets, saw some light show at the castle and watched this staged parade with floats from the castle to the beyond the entry/exit gates of the park.

Nothing happened on the halloween day almost two months later. it was just another normal day at home.

This sounds like so much fun.

I'm jealous.

I put a table out front with a sign that says "please only take one"

And boxes and boxes of candy. . . . the boxes were empty.

Well, I mean, you're kind of asking for that if you don't hand out the candy yourself. Kids blatantly lack self-control, and adults only pretend they have it. Better not to participate in the ritual at all if you're only going to make a half-hearted effort.

This is a good point.

I don't hand out candy anymore to kids.

I go to Halloween parties and pumpkin carvings.

This was the first year that my wife and I didn't do anything. We had to move to an urban area for her university, and basically nobody here is a first generation American. Nor are they Hispanics, like the wife, so they don't have Dia de Los Muertos. They're Indian, so they don't celebrate the holiday at all. There are no trick-or-treaters.

I don't actually have a problem with that. It usually takes a generation or two for migrants to acclimatize and integrate into to their chosen society, but there are SO many here, all at once, that they have displaced the culture almost entirely. I don't have anything against Indians, but I also don't want to live in Calcutta, which this place is rapidly becoming. There are just too many people coming in too quickly. The overcrowding is driving rent and consumer prices up, crime is getting worse, and a lot of these people do not know how to drive, because they aren't carefully vetted migrants. It's not at all uncommon for one household to have seven men or more, and three cars in it. If we had kids, and other families that had the holiday in the first place, I would not let them go trick-or-treating around here.

What we ARE going to do is get the hell out of here, ASAP. Once Gnome (Yeah, I married a Steam user, it can happen) has her Master's degree, we're gone, because we like Halloween, and we do want our kids to be able to go trick-or-treating in a safe neighborhood.

i did the impossible.

Which was?

I ignored it. We don't really celebrate it here in Australia although I did see a few groups of kids looting candy.

Cool event though; I do wish we celebrated it more here just for fun.
