Trick or Treat '09

[Kitsa]

So what are you handing out this year, if anything?

Last year, I had a case of Frankenberry that was more than I could handle, and that's what I handed out. It was brand-new and very fresh and quite untampered-with, but the kids' parents still looked at me like I was a total fucking psycho.

*sigh* Fine.

The plan this year was to hand out large candy bars, because we get about 20-30 kids and it was manageable. I went to Sam's Club and was horrified to see that the asking price for a case of snickers was more than 20 bucks. Instead, I got those enormous Pixy Sticks in the plastic tubes, 50 of 'em for $11.

Happy Halloween, it's a giant tube of sugar. Have fun with that.

I really don't think I'll get many kids, so I'm just going to buy like ten big choc. bars. if there are more kids than that they will get cans of soup etc.

[dymphnawolf]

Well, I'm not exactly sure what I'll be giving out as I tend to wait as long as I can to get the candy so that I don't end up eating it myself. I can say that I will be keeping to my tradition of doing up loot bags which will be filled with some type of candy and a small toy

[Mockery]

I'm going out trick-or-treating 'n what not with friends as usual, but if any kids come to our place before then, I always have a ton of crazy candies to give out as a result of that Halloween candies review article I do every October. That and boxes of spaghetti.

[darkvare]

i'm gonna give halloween themed candy peanuts and maybe marshmallows if i don't eat them all first

[robo_rob]

I usually stock up on the crazy fun candy from Dollar Tree and stuff before hand and give each kid a fuckton of candy. I know not as many people in my area participate in Halloween as they used too, so I like to make up for the buttholes who forgot how to have fun.

If I had the cash, I would totally stock up and go to the trunk or treat things also and dress up to give out candy to the kids.

packets of taco bell sauce

I like to give kids a choice: Either a candy bar, or some random food object. Last year we did potatoes, and before that, dog biscuits. You'd be surprised how many kids took the potatoes.
Maybe this year it'll be candy, or SCORPIONS.

[Zhukov]

I'm gonna tell them to fuck off.

[Zhukov]

Not really. People don't trick or treat here. Seriously, potatoes? Aren't you not supposed to take unwrapped food like that because paedophiles put razorblades in them? I can't see any children tucking into a raw, fresh from the earth potato, but it could still be an issue.

You should have that written in the center of an empty bowl.

[Kitsa]

The last year I ever went trick or treating a crazy old man threw pennies at us HARD and yelled, 'BUY YER OWN FUCKIN' CANDY!'

[MarioRPG]

I live on a busy street, with only one side having the luxury of a sidewalk (the other side).

I'm also right next to the cemetery.

We do not get more than 2 trick or treaters / year, and the last two years we've had 0.

[robo_rob]

I only get kids from the neighborhood, and I'm pretty sure they end up going to the neighborhood down the road as well.

[ChrisGlass]

From 2002 to 2007 I lived in an open apartment complex. In all the years of halloween my total visitors numbered about 4. Of course, I bought far more candy than needed.

I now live in a gated apartment complex. No one knocks on the doors.

I need to buy a home. Also, have a kid so I can get candy again.

[Dimnos]

I buy an ass ton of those small bags of skittles. Then when I only get about 10 kids I have skittles for like half a year.

[Dimnos]

Skittles and starbursts.

They think it's funny. Plus, I've seen them hurl them at windows from time to time.

Yeah! Although my better half figured out this ploy - we're back from the street a long way and most kids don't think it's worth the effort - so I'm not allowed to buy loads of candy for Halloween.

At least none that she "knows about".

[Zomboid]

I remember Sadie making a comment about periods outside of quotation marks being all lost and lonely. I miss her

[executioneer]

i'm gonna throw eggs and toilet paper at ruffian children, turn the tables

[DougClayton4231]

I'm going to Halloween Horror Nights and then Trick Or Treating at 4am. Fuck bedtimes.

[captain516]

I'm going to be working at the local Haunted House for 6 hours, so no Tricks or treats for me

[Zomboid]

I was planning on hiding and not answering the door, but after seeing Trick R Treat, I think I'll just follow the rules of Halloween.

[The Leader]

I'm going to a party on devil's night dressed as Sam from Trick R Treat, but I have no idea what I'm doing on Halloween. Somebody will probably have a party. Either that or I'll help my parents pass out candy and watch some horror movies on TV.

I don't know if we've gotten any candy yet, though. :c
