There Is No End To The Big Jip

I don't know about you, but I remember every single Halloween growing up to be in the middle of the week. I remember the teachers eyes rolling when I asked the teachers why, complaining, we had to come in to school the next day. How are we to be expected to do that after trying to celebrate the holiday properly? Another thing I remember is that ( Read more... )

It'll be below-zero freeze-your-testicles-off weather here.

At least some places are raising children who can appreciate chocolate. ;)

Oh wow. Shoot, I don't know. I've actually gone out trick or treating the past few years, and get a lot, "Don't you think you are too old for this?"

I tell them, "Too old for free chocolate?!? Uhhh, nope."

There was one year my mom thought we could really cash in on good food by hitting all the retail outlets. Let's see, I think the bar gave me a marchino cherry and the donut place gave me a couple of holes. I felt really jipped that year. Some of her crazier ideas often didn't pan out too well.

You must have crossed them too late. It was great weather for the loot night, but all today, it didn't stop drizzling. Thanks for trying though. ;)

When I was a kid I once dressed up as a soldier. It was a great costume for two reasons.

1. It was hella cold, but I was super-bundled up.

-and-

2. Mid-evening I was running from one yard to another when I tripped over a shin-high barbed-wire fence and landed in dog poop.

Who the hell puts a barbed-wire fence in the suburbs??!!

I got the chocolate though!

Great story! :)

I wonder why I don't have even one like that. I remember quite a few years where I was asked whether I could see out my costume, and of course I couldn't. There should of been a whole lot more tripping and falling going on, but I don't really remember any.

barbed wire, on Halloween? Sheesh!
