Ghosts&Goblins or the lack there of

[Foul Mike]

What a bummer of a Halloween. No kids coming around to Trick or Treat. I have only had 4 groups of kids all night. 2 with 2 kids, 1 with 3 and 1 with 4.and one single little guy. All in nice costumes and the parents close by.
Nothing like other years where we would have 50-75 kids and sometimes have to go make a run to get more candy. Nice weather too.
WTF am I going to do with all of this candy?
I don't need it and My Squaw sure as hell doesn't either as she is already 7 ax handles across the ass.
Maybe they will come later, I hope.
It was a big thing when I was a kid, and always a lot of fun, not so much anymore I guess.
Another holiday fucked up by the libtards?
How are the rest of you doing? FM

Not one has come by here either and it ain't raining. Then again the place is pretty slim pickens/sparse. We use to travel bout an hr one way or the other to find civilization to prey on. After tonight you could always do the "Free Candy" sign thing.

 

[diverdon]

It is still a big thing in my home town, in town anyhow. Out in the rural area where I live not so much. The kids are not going to walk a half mile between houses when they can just ask mom or dad for a ride to town.

 

[QuickNDirty]

Pretty big turn out here, even though it's raining.

 

[2ndamendfan]

0 trick or treaters so far. Normally only get 4 or 5 anyway. World is a scary place. Last few years "trunk or treat" has become super popular. Since i am not in any social club i get left out of those.

 

[CypressJeff]

We have 1/2 kids and 1/2 that are +18 years old. Hell, I saw one guy with more grey in his beard than I have and 70% of the people don’t have costumes on. My porch light stays off.

 

[jrassy]

I had quite a few, had to go for more candy, many were dressed in costumes, mom and dads watching from just off the porch. It was all over by 8:00pm.

 

[Veer_G]

Usually I don't make a fuss, but tonight I decided to wear black. Black Teva sandals, black drawstring pants, a black UA long-sleeve top, and a black underturban. I thought very briefly about strapping an unloaded AK74 across my back and throwing on a ChiCOM chest rig. Very, very briefly. I didn't think that today was a good day for Ho Chi Singh to make his debut.

They came in waves, more than the last few years. The last bunch were four extremely grabby pre-pubescent Desi kids, one of whom tried to take my cell phone, since it was sitting on top of the candy, as I was just packing it in and going inside. The kids were very obviously being raised as far removed from their parents' roots as possible.

He looks at me, and pipes up, "What are you supposed to be?"

"I'm not supposed to 'be' anything. I am what I am. The beard and the turban aren't a Halloween costume. I'm what's called a Sikh."

The mothers, on the sidewalk, were trying to focus anywhere other than their kids and me, which was a bit tough in the dark. "Um, uh, come on, let Sardar Ji go inside, it's getting late. We'll explain when we get home. if you go to India to see Baba next year you'll see lots of them."

"Them." Fuck, I'm a curious zoo animal now, but at least I'm one without an indelible accent and an inferiority complex.

 

[fdkay]

I had to work tonight, they wanted extra officers on the street.
There were basically two neighborhoods with trick or treaters, the rest of the town had virtually none.
I live in a neighboring town, Momma said only the neighbor kids came by, and only two of 4 grandkids.
My daughter did tell us ahead of time they were just going to stick in their neck of the woods, as she gets home from work kinda late.

You better go in before you choke a kid out.

Just tell them. Sikh we make ninja run. They will get the idea.

Don't expect me to forget that you said it first, not me.

Keep your fingers out of my cage if you know what's good for you.

 

[powdahound76]

Well bummer. Went to my girlfriends, her 2 and my little one went out. We stayed on the sidewalk and tried to keep the crazy monkeys in line. My kid asked a guy at a nicer house "Are you rich?". This is a neighborhood where the 2 bed smaller places are 650K nowadays.
The beautiful lady conned me into a costume, my daughter chose soldier, so some camo and boots and good. She was Wonder Woman and dang did she look good.
Down two blocks, crossed the street and back up two blocks. 7-8 lbs in each big ass bucket.
Then we watched the Charlie Brown halloween show and handed out candy.

 

[Keel Haul]

I just bought this house in September so I wasn't sure what to expect. Turns out not a single taker tonight. Guess I'll be keeping the butterfingers and three musketeers for myself.

Veer: Jerry Garcia re-incarnate with Groucho glasses/nose ? Scary as shit, nicely done!

Me? Holed up in a hotel room @ PDX, just hit 75 nights in 2017, enough to (re)qualify for Platinum status for 2018. I make the points/stays, she spends them. My travel assistant/mistress/wife invests my freebies/bennies/points wisely.....We’’’ll be laying low in Prague @ the Boscolo in a couple of months. All on points....... Ya, Das Leben ist sehr gut !

 

[Maser]

All the kids who came to the door this year must have been honoring the late George Romero because I swear according to my wife who dealt with most of the kids and the few I dealt with, about 95% of them were dressed as zombies. My friend who loves to get a rise out of faggy PC people on Halloween every year was kind of a disappointment this year. Last year he dressed up as Harambe, but this year he dressed up as Donald Trump holding Kathy Griffin's head. Other than the terrible hairpiece and orange skin, he looked nothing like Trump. As far as Kathy's head goes, I think I look more like Kathy than the head did!

[Alphatreedog]

Had a good turnout out her in suburbia . It's really cool to see the 3-5 year olds as I think they are really jazzed about it . And had one that was so excited she danced up the driveway .
It's refreshing being surrounded by all the happy , innocent energy . Parrents smiling , hellos and thank yous . Gives me hope in a troubled world .

The Jerry García is all me. The Groucho is Imgur. Maybe I'll do Phantom of The Opera next year and incorporate a mask. The Grateful Dead and Z.Z. Topp are like zero effort.

I was just going to say that you are a shoe in for Z.Z. Sikh.

 

[MtnCreek]

Never had a trick-or-treater here.

 

[Tazman]

So I had my squad car in the driveway and not one trick or treater would stop. I moved it down the street to my wife's aunts house and kids started stopping in. We live in a small town and the towns around us write tickets for 2 mph over and harass the public and I think they are associating all officers with those ass clowns. Unfortunately we live in an area where these young officers are hated because of their lack of training and compassion.

 

[hlee]

We had a pretty good turnout here. Even with the rain, we Went through two good sized bags of candy before the 3rd inning of game 6. Last year was a bust though, my wife took lbs of candy to her school the next day.

mike, get an old icecream truck and a free candy sign like a1j said...
7 ax handles???
you better feed that woman buddy
or have her push the icecream truck

 

[Foul Mike]

OK, I may have pushed it a bit, I will drop it to 6 and a half, no less.
We ended up getting 15 kids total out of the usual 50-75. Too many big organized parties I guess, Churches, PD etc. which is good.
I do miss seeing all of the little kids all decked out for the occasion and how excited they get for it but don't miss all of the pranks the older ones used to pull. I could teach them some shit we did when I was younger, we were pretty rotten.
I guess I better get going to look for the ice cream truck or an old white van or something. I doubt I can hide all of that candy as the Squaw has a good nose for it and will sniff it out despite my best efforts.
Have a great day everyone, FM

They were all down at the 1313 having a beer.

 

[oneshot86]

dont hide that shit by the porn

 

[Srgt. Hulka]

We probably had 800-1000 trick-or-treaters at my house. Luckily, the rain came and shut them down early.

 

[WaltHer]

They were all down at the 1313 having a beer.

I'm heading there shortly. Always been a day late/dollar short. Hopefully there are some treats left.

 

[P-Squared]

Keep your fingers out of my cage if you know what's good for you.

If we ever meet face to face, remind me to tell you about skipping school, going to the Phoenix Zoo, and screwing with the gorillas. I never want to relive my childhood because I made it out alive. There is no way I could do that twice.

Mike,
Rebecca and I were talking about the white van/free candy thing the other night. Just need a dirty wife beater shirt and a scruffy beard to go with it.

You must have been reading my mind

 

[Foul Mike]

I have got the beard but it is not scruffy like Veer's. I have been growing it since 71 when I got out of the Army, very full even along the edges. It has won quite a few contests. I have to trim it at least once a week.
I only wear coveralls, every day, hot or cold, I wear them for church, weddings, funerals and formal events. If a formal event I hang a clip on tie off the end of the left collar point. I do look quite dapper then and the funeral director[a good friend] doesn't know if he should laugh or cry.
A wife beater would go unnoticed under my coveralls but I might give it a try.
The first time I met the funeral director was when my Mother in law passed. I showed out in brand new ironed coveralls with the tie hanging down over my left tit to make the arrangements. Funeral directors are very good about not showing emotions but he was hard pressed to not laugh at that one. He worked hard at keeping a straight face but it didn't work. I, on the other hand, was just as serious as a heart attack. He never lets me forget it, Nice guy and a good friend.
I think I will take these bags of left over goodies and deliver them to local needy families suggested by the local cooperative ministries.
I will only buy one bag next year maybe 2, 1 for the ghosts and goblins and one for the Squaw and me. FM

 

[oneshot86]

if anyone needs a wife beater, its you you crazy bastard...
even under those damn coveralls...

 

[oneshot86]

dude go to town an buy some spray on tan and a pack of w beaters, nothing says large and in charge better

 

[Foul Mike]

oneshot, Thank you, I needed that. Made me feel better.
What is not good about coveralls? Built in suspenders and all of the pockets you need.
I use T-shirts under them during cold weather, No wifebeaters, as that leaves my tender thin skin subject to chaffing on my shoulders and I can't have that.
I buy new ones in the fall and by the time summer rolls around they have been through the wash enough times that they are pretty thin, just in time for summer and the hot weather.
During the summer I go Commando, not than anyone would be able to tell as I do not let anyone that close to me.
I should get T-shirts that are XXXXL so I can wear them on the outside just to let others know how I am feeling and thinking and be able to change off as to how things are going down.
No Sugar Plum Fairies for me, just Gun Rights and Fuck Obama for me and I will be a billboard.
All of the people around me know how I am and don't cross me.
I am fortunate to live where I am and not deal with a lot of assholes. They get set straight very quickly when they do cross my path. I spare NO words and most are four lettered, I am not called Foul for nothing.
Everyone, Have a great day and go buy a set of coveralls so you too can enjoy the bliss. Regards, Foul Mike

The only "trim" I get is with the missus. Scruffy? No, just uncut since '06. We aren't allowed to cut it. Besides, I'd feel practically sinful, like it was some sort of salon indulgence. The most I do for special occasions is grease it a bit, knot it up, and stick the excess away.

 

[Foul Mike]

I should not have used scruffy, mine is just thicker particulary around the edges.
As fast as mine grows and as much as I have to trim it I can only imagine what it would be if I didn't. The longest I let it get was down to my belly button to win a longest beard contest. Second place was quite a bit shorter than mine. I cut it back a bunch after that.
Having started it in 71, if I didn't trim it it would probably be down around my feet by now and I would be known as Old Tanglefoot. FM
