What are you guys doing for Halloween?

I'm cowering in the basement.

Tell you what I'm not doing.

Sleeping.

Like I should be.

Because Effin' Parents these days can't even follow the simple etiquette that if a house as no decorations and no lights on YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T TRICK OR TREAT...

"I got a new X-wing wave!"

"I got Legion announcements! What'd you get, Armada?"

"I got a rock."

We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.

You still got that Rock?

I got another group to pitch it at.

I still believe in you, great FFG Pumpkin! I'm filled with sincerity! This is the most sincere message board in all of America! You HAVE to come visit now, great FFG Pumpkin, and give us presents! Next wave article presents! No one is more sincere than us!

Worked out well for me. We had about 20-30 kids come by and only one after official hours and the kid was cute so it's fine.

I was dressed up as an Imperial admiral and the highlight of the night was giving out candy to a teeny tiny kiddo dressed as Darth Vader while I referred to him as Lord Vader and made sure to be extra polite and offer him extra candy. Kid had no idea exactly what to make of it other than more candy=more good, but my wife loved it and it was pretty funny.

No one came by our house, then again when you live on a dead-end street with no other kids, it is pretty boring most of the time anyways.

My daughter rocked a sweet Rey costume with a staff I made from scratch. Turned out awesome and she loved it. My boy was a very convincing Harry Potter. Good night all around

I had three packs of trick-or-treaters.

Otherwise I spent the evening "working" on my teaching licence portfolio in a vain attempt to finish it by Thursday... better than last year where I was just bedridden with the flu

Happy Halloween!

Teaching my one-year-old that it's okay to take candy from strangers, but only if you go to their house and threaten them first.

I went grocery shopping!!!

I legit was out of anything that wasn't bread flour, spices, or frozen meat. I guess if I was too busy to get food, it makes sense why I can't find time to finish my painting projects.

I was so pumped when I moved from the country to the city for Halloween, at least with the idea of handing out candy. Sadly, everyone is f*****g paranoid and nobody trick or treats minus 2 or 3 kids on any given year.

I took Lord Vader, Rey, and Chewbacca around my parents' neighborhood for candy. After about 10 houses, Rey and Chewie got tired. Lord Vader used the power of the Dark side to keep going and went around the entire block. Now the Rebels are upset they don't have the candy resources like Vader.

I knew the Corellian Conflict wasn't fair!

It's not! Rey fights dirty. She may only be 3 years old, but she knows some good take downs. lol

I live out in the country and haven't had a trick or treater at my door in 20 years.

Me and a friend of mine handed out candy at my sisters house one time when she couldn't be there to do it. She got so mad at us because we ran out of candy way too early and started giving out individually wrapped frozen corn dogs and cheese slices. She came home just as we started giving out packets of condiments. If I lived where I had trick or treaters I would do that every year.

I am giggling like an idiot at work over giving out slices of cheese for Halloween. People freak out about the potential for "drug-laced candy", but I can't imagine the confused looks for pre-packaged cheese.

I freak out at what Americans consider "cheese" as it stands.

To be fair, most Americans are aware that American Cheese is gross (same thing with Velveeta). They've got uses on grilled cheese sandwiches, but otherwise that's not real cheese.

I spent my day decorating my 116year old Victorian home, complete with skeletons, giant spiders, an 8' dragon on the roof over the front porch, strobe lights, green lights in the third floor windows & projected flames in the crawl space under my stone front porch.

My wife got a little over a hundred trick or treaters, while I took Darth Vader, Iron Man & Michaelangelo (the ninja turtle) around the neighborhood. Michaelangelo somehow managed to knock out her loose tooth, about halfway through, with her own nun-chucks... (Sigh) but she powered through.

So, good Halloween!
