My parents used to throw a big neighborhood Halloween party, but now they only do one for the Fourth of July. It was always a fun time.

The oldest I have had so far have been ages 15 and 16 'cuz I asked.

Also, two asked if they could come back at the end of the night and collect all the leftovers. I told them sure!

I'm not giving out candy this year. The wife is out of town and the animals are a pain when people come to the door. One cat wants to run out and the dog just barks too much.

Lock 'em both up. Put dog in a closet far in the back.

Uh, no.

Get the cute single neighbor lady to dress up as Karen Filippelli and you've got a party.

21 one years ago we bought an acreage and built a house way out in the country. For 21 years we've turned on all the outside lights and for 21 years I will now turn them off never having a kid come up to the door.

In reflection this is the only thing I miss about living in the city.

You don't miss fast internet, any amenities and good restaurants?

Zero. Not one goddamn trick or treater.

Granted, I didn't get home until 6:30, but still, you'd think I would have at least gotten a couple.

Two bags of friggin candy, straight to my gut and the wife's ass. :cuss:

Fast Internet did not exist 21 years ago.

I'm striking out as well. Children appear to be frightened to approach an old house where a bald man is hovering in front of the window looking out at them.

We don't try anymore. We had candy for a few years one year we got 5 kids, the next 3. Plus it teaches kids socialism or something...

The smart kids find the neighborhoods that have the smallest average distance between front doors. If any kid shows up at your door out in the country, you can safely conclude that they're not very bright.

ROFL

Maybe next year get some vegan or gluten free candy.

Yeah, like I'd eat that shit. :D
