Beggars Night

[Hawkeye OG]

Am I dick for turning off all my lights and sitting in the basement like I'm not home? I don't have kids so pretty much forgot about it until I got home and my neighbor said something. I also don't have any candy. I suppose I could hand out some old Tostitos chips :shrug:

Last year I bought 3 bags of candy only to have 2 kids show up....
Halloween just ain't like it was when I was a kid.

Nope. Only entitled brats think they're owed free candy just because of some dweeby holiday. You shouldn't let them force you into the basement of your own house though.

What are you dressing up as?

No, HB, you are not a dick. Turning off the lights saves parents/kids time since they don't have to amble up your walkway. You are a part of the solution.

Put an empty bowl on your front porch with a sign on it that says "Please Only Take One"

That's how my neighborhood used to be, but it's been a little more calm the last few years. Pretty much everyone decorates and hands out candy, and we usually have a cop or two patrolling. Last year a few of them were riding around on a golf cart. Cars parked everywhere. Usually we have friends come over with their kids and everyone goes trick-or-treating as a group. I think there are like 15-20 people coming over tonight (including kids). I usually voluteer to stay back and hand out candy, so I can drink beer and not deal w/ the pandemonium.

nah...you're not a dick. My parents did the same shit all the time.

The joys of living out in the sticks with no neighbors around, no one comes here so we go to them. Living in a small town in America, Halloween reminds me of what it use to be like when i was a kid. Most everyone in town joins in the festivities from the local fire dept and police to all the restaurants and businesses, and with Barney on patrol, i know all is well

I dont know if you're a Dick or not Hawkbear, i did the same when i had no kids. At least we kept our lights off so people knew we did not participate .

Make sure it's a plastic bowl so some dick doesn't toss it at a window.

Omelet Estates is in a very wooded area. In 25 years have only had 2 kids and both time I sicced the dog on them

The appropriate Taco story for Halloween:

When we were teenagers, on Halloween, Taco and my other friends went to the library with 2 cartons of eggs. We waited till 2 helpless young ladies came to the parking lot, arms full of books. Then when they opened their trunk and car doors we bombarded them with all 24 eggs. Taco hit one of them in the head. They cried and screamed like a bunch of babies and when we were done we bravely ran away. Ironically, we never saw Taco after that night.

You wouldn't have to disguise him , all the kids know Rango's the " dog from hell"

I wish the wife would dress sluty for me in the privacy of our own home, i cant even get the woman to put lip stick on .
