Happy Halloween! Any body partying at all? I'll be perched on the edge of my driveway to prevent my new car from getting egged in case I do get trick or treaters. I had zero halloweenies last year, so I didn't buy any candy this year.

60.
We have candy - a bag of Reese's mix (Peanut Butter Cups, Reese's Pieces, Fast Break, and Inside Out PBC) and a bag of 3 Musketeers. We had one kid come to the door. She wasn't any older than 3, dressed as a pumpkin. I told her parents that she wins the prize and pretty much gave her one of everything. Or more - I forget really. Plus, Ender stopped by and nabbed a handful. He was dressed like a white suburban guy. I barely recognized him
Anyhow I'm really disappointed with Halloween lately. Not since I was a little kid have I seen it as it appears in movies like E.T. - kids walking all over the neighborhood dressed up, going to house after house yelling "TRICK OR TREAT!". I remember my parents buying 10 bags of candy and running out.
About when I hit High School it really tapered off. I still liked getting a costume and going out and about but it seemed like the atmosphere had changed. Kids were more interested in being destructive. No one seemed to have that spirit I knew from my younger years.
Then - recently - all this terrorism bullshit has reduced the experience to walking around a brightly lit mall and annoying the workers, or other such "safe alternative" events. Kind of depressing, really. This is one of my favorite holidays and it's just gone to shit.

Heh heh.
Thanks for the haul, btw! I wore an orange tshirt that says "This IS my costume!"
In the past few years I've dressed as a hobbit, a samurai, a highland warrior (kilt, armor, claymore, blue facepaint, etc), and The Incredible Hulk In Retirement. You're never too old to dress up and go out for Halloween, B.
The trend that Padre mentioned is true, but something else I've noticed over the years as well....
Between 4:30 and 7-ish is when the kids seem to be out. They're dressed up, collecting candy, doing the Halloween thing with mom and/or dad waiting for them on the sidewalk or curb. Then, there always seems to be a lull for about half hour to an hour. Then the high school kids are walking around... WITHOUT costumes.
Talk about lame.
