this year, I am going out on Halloween as a guy who is stuck halfway around the world and would be attacked if he went out dressed as some sort of monster. too bad.
anything special you all are doing this All Hallow's Eve?

I'm sitting in front of my computer and handing out sweets to kids in exchange for the safety of my personal possessions.
Like a boss.

Dd most of my Halloween " partying" last weekend, so tonight the Missus and I will just be lounging around watching horror films and passing out candy to the neighborhood kids ...while we send our own kids out to recoup our losses.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
I remember this one time, me and a buddy were going as a Stormtrooper on his day off and the hunchback of notre dame respectively. I rung a mans doorbell and a real man with a hunch came out. that was awkward for my buddy...

I'm lucky .. I live in a condo development and there's no kids in the whole area. 97.8784% of my neighbors are all over at least 50 and the only kids that come around for halloween are wee little ones, and they're just there because mom drove them over to show off their costumes to grandma real quick.
I'll have no trick or treaters, but that still hasn't stopped me from buying a ton of halloween candy, and eating it all myself.

Same here. Except it's mostly college/post-college adults. Most of the neighbors with kids go somewhere else
If someone's knocking on my door past 11, blood will be spilled.
Years later, they'll tell tales about the Butcher of Turner Hall.
There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.
I considered taking the skulls of this year's victims kids and doing some sort of crazy paving with them.
But the law once again got in the way of my fun.

Tell them that they're decorative and you like to stay ready for next year's Halloween.

I'm always ready... always... *strokes axe* (no, that isn't a sick euphamism... or is it?)

I'm sitting here reading dakka wondering why no-one has attempted our house yet.
Probably because they all know only tight buggers live in this village, so they've gone the extra half mile or so to the other one.

I know right, these damn hoodlums come around every year during Halloween demanding candy. They come around in these get ups so I can't tell who they are and worst of all some of them couldn't be older than six years of age. I tell you, its the worst over where I live.
I enjoy it as well, but alas, I'm "too old"...I personally think 23 is the perfect age haha
That's when you trick or treat at pubs...

Get drunk enough and it's like you're trick or treating a new pub every time you stagger back in!
