Hey EvilEye, it's as simple as 1.) Buy a paintball gun. 2.) Wait outside your house until people come. 3.) Pretend you have a semi-automatic paint brush and your doing human body painting. My friend used to get TPed every year, so he went ahead and did that. Needless to say, he hasn't been bothered since.


I still am not sure what I'm doing. My house is all decorated for Halloween and our town has TONS of little kids, but I doubt we'll get any trick-or-treaters as usual. I don't know why no one ever comes. People used to, before they built the sub-division up the hill from me. You'd think that'd mean MORE kids right? No, instead, the kids from the sub-division stay up there and don't venture into town, and the kids from in town never venture up to where I am. And it's not like I'm on some desolate road, not to mention trick-or-treating in my town goes from 4:00-6:00 pm. Pretty lame, eh? Anyways, I'll prolly just end up going to a party or something.

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

I kno someone who does that same exact thing, he camps out on his roof and waits... btw, what do you guys think the age limit should be on trick or treating... lol. dont you all think 17 is a little old for it. I frankly think 13 is about the age to stop. any opinions?

My mother forced me to go ToT until I was 12. Then I was able to get out of it because someone invited me to their dual halloween-birthday party.
I always hated it.

imo, end of elementary school = end of trick-or-treating

unfortunatly there is a major bisness midterm with a 60% failure rate happening on saturday. hmmm, no parties happening.... coincidence. other than maybe a few people dressed up at school, there really isnt going to be much going on for holliween this year at WLU

I trick-or-treated until I was 15, and for the last 3 years I went as the same thing. Just ripped up an old shirt and pants and said i was a hobo. Me and my friend sprinted from house to house so we could hit every one in town. More candy that way.

I think 15 or 16 was my last year. I remember going as a goth, me and my friends went to a party, then we went out trick or treating. I'm pretty sure this was the first year of high school. I think most people just thought we were younger then what we were ^-^

The funniest thing happened yesterday. There was a (probably annual) poetry slam contest Wednesday night, and my Com1 teacher was running it. She invited some girl who had competed several times to read one of her pieces to our Thursday class.
She showed up in her halloween costume (I hope). She read her poem. It was one of those near-extremist feminist messages - "I'm not here for you", "I don't dress this way for you" (among other things). She looked like she was dressed up as a hooker.

i stopped trick or treating when i was like 14. i got too lazy to even dress up anymore, i would just tell people i was a baseball player on strike when they asked what i was.

as for decoration this year, me and my drummer made a dummy of a long island white boy who thinks hes some gangsta black dude from the south bronx or something, gave him the ecko gear, a crooked hat, made a noose, covered him in theater blood, and hung him in the front yard. halloween was really just an excuse to do that, its illegal to hang a real one, and its disturbing to people any other time of year. too bad.

i did a tune up on the Bronco today for halloween. later im hoping to cram a whole bunch of people in it and into my friends jeep and go four wheeling in some fields and marshes around my house.

Trick or Treaters ignored: 23

Why? not only do i not have any choccy, but why do they expect to turn up, get choccy, for doing nothing?
As im sure i said before, 30 years ago, they woudl ahev turned up, and sung or soemthing. now, after watching the American version, they did that instead. It was a shame really, as it brought communties together.

Anyway, less moaning,. more spookyness. Like ghost legends . Scotland has some pretty cool little supernatrual stories and legends... liek a monster of Glamis Castle, The Loch monsters like Nessie and the lesser-known Morag , numerous mystery beast, Vampire sightigns in Dumfries and a whole heap of ghosties, not least in Edinburgh, where you'll find hundreds of tales about the closes and catacombs below the city...
oh, and in recent years, we've had hundreds of UFO sightings (that the MoD often deny...) and conspiracy theories by the bucketload.
anyway, any good ghostie tales elsewhere?

The age to stop: When your inner child is dead, you can stop trick or treating. I'm 16. I'm still going at it. I already have next year planned out too. I don't see an end to my trick or treating anytime soon.

By the way, some of us still do tricks. I brought fake blood, and pretending to gash my wrists and throat while singing a random showtune. Goodtimes.

By the way, my candy count, was three and a half garbage bags (the large ones) full of candy. I won't be asleep for a few days smile.gif

Heh, well my trick or treating got shot down. My girl was against the concept of going into neighborhoods filled with people she didn't know. Instead we ate chiniese, and went to wal-mart. We hung out withthe coolest wa-mart employee, electronics guy. He filled me in with the new star wars movie info. happy.gif

Neither my friend, I'm not eating them ALL right away. I like to savor them, make the candy last. I went trick or treating from 5 p.m. until 10. 5 hours of trick or treating. + I scared two kids really bad by jumping out of a tree at them, babbling out incoherent phrases on the great donut master devouring their small intestines.
That boosted my candy supplies quite a bit. What can I say...halloween is what I'm best at. Surprsingly enough though, I do share my candy.

Well at least you had fun A.D., she could have wanted to stay home and watch
something like "Pretty Woman", or some Julia Roberts film. *gags*

Oh and eating heaps of sweets doesn't give you diabetes and now cause has yet to be found. I know this because I have the dreaded disease. So no candy for me.

It's stories like that that almost make me want to celebrate the quasi-holiday. I would have left the candy. Terrorizing the kids would have been reward enough.

Yeah luckily I wound up with a girl who plays video games... She gets so jealous when I turn up better at a game. That's why I'll probly be buying her Soul Caliber 2 or the GC.

And good job at scaring the candy from the kids. Just make sure they wind up with it again next time.

My Friends and I did quite the opposite actually. We dressed one of my friends up in a trench coat, sun glasses, and a HUGE top hat with pictures of candles on the sides, and we called him the Candle Jack (obscure freakazoid reference). The top hat didn't have a top so we filled it up with candy and wandered down a popular street with my friend bowing to every other person asking if they'd like some candy. Tonnes of fun. Oh and later we got him hugs from random stangers tongue.gif.

and thumbs up on scaring the kids. It seems that as of late Halloween has become an excuse to get candy, as opposed to an excuse to scare the pants off kiddies laugh.gif ... it's a shame really wink.gif

I didn't trick or treat or anything. But I did win the "Laziest, most pathetic costume" award at my school. I dressed normally, and stuck a sign on myself that said "Nudist on Strike". I make a cheap little picket sign too. Earned me 20 bucks!

Thats pretty cool Jlombardi.

The best costume I remember was a group of guys older than me dressed up as bikers and had black spray painted water pistols. And damn was everyone scared. I saw them come out their house though. They had to explain themselves a couple of time. You'd also be surprised about the number of no trick or treaters signs in my street 15 at the very least.
