    God I miss college during halloween. These days I'm with Hooker as Halloween blows. My number one pet peeve about halloween are the adults that go trick or treating have a bag and all but no kids and aren't dressed up. This just pisses me off to no end.

    Last year when we took the little one trick or treating, one of the houses asked if the adults needed a treat. We were handed a beers for our walk :)

    I only have one child now he's 2.5 years old and our town had it's Halloween last night. in my particular subdivision we are cornered off from the rest of the town as we sit in the middle of a large corn field on the outskirts of town. we all enjoy pulling our kids wagons around full of beer and what have you. it's sort of an excuse to get out an mingle a bit. we welcome outsiders, but they better bring their own beer. My wife and I enjoyed it the 2 years we were without a child too. We just hung out and drink with neighbors in the chilly October air. Next year I'm getting a fire pit to sit in the drive as mom, grandma's and child go out searching for candy. The grandpa's and I will hold down the fort.

    I hand out beer to the people I know. I decorated the house of horrors last night looks pretty good. I loved Halloween when i was in my twenties, I still like it but not as much. These punk *** kids that come with out a costume I got a super soaker for there lazy butts.

    I live on a busy Halloween street. When I don't have enough candy on hand I start offering them scoops of ice cream in their bags. You'd be surprised how many younguns will smile and hold up their bags. Then I just bring out the spare change jar and hand out money. They seem so disappointed with money??

    I sit in a chair in the corner of my porch pretending to be a non living creature of somekind with a bowl of candy in my lap. Then proceed to scare the living **** out of the kids as they reach for the candy and go crying to mommy.

    I kind of like halloween season. Hunting season, fall in the air, golf season over thank god, cool decorations, scary movies, beer (i added that for myself), not a candy fan though.

    My wife always makes special goodie bags for the neighborhood kids. I guess it kind of goes along with keeping your friends close and your enemies closer. Gotta keep the neighborhood kids happy. :lol:

    So last night was not so bad. Nobody smashed my pumpkins this year, and we only had a few people come by after 8, even though we turned all the yards lights off.

    The best story was towards the end, a mom (kinda hefty) and son came by, since I knew things were dying down, I just told them to take what they want, and I swear, the mom's face lit up with such excitement, she looked at me like she wanted to rape me, then screamed (literally) " We can take what we want?!", and then proceeded to take roughly half of my candy. I'm pretty sure that women died of diabetes last night.

    Anyways, pumpkin beer is good.
