We seldom get ghouls and goblins stopping by for candy, but it’s still the perfect excuse to buy a big ol’ bag of assorted Nestlé fun size candy bars. I suppose part and parcel of living in an area that still has plenty of working farms is that there are no sidewalks, most of the roads don’t have shoulders, and the houses are pretty far apart. It suits me fine, but the few kids we do have around here probably attend events organized by the township, rather than going around door to door. Well, if we’re going to eat sugary crap, at least chocolate makes a nice alternative to our usual banana bread or carrot cake cupcakes.
I know I’m just going to get one trick or treater since there’s only one kid in the building right now. I told his he’s more than welcome to knock on my door. I raided my grandma’s freezer for cookies to give him and his mom for treats =) chocolate chip and sugar cookies
I haven’t had any in a couple of years, so didn’t buy any candy. The temptation to eat its all is too great…damn diabetes.
The inclement weather has put the kibosh on trick-r-treating tonight. Most folks ’round here have decided to delay the festivities until tomorrow night. Alas, we won’t be home to give out treats then. She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed and I go dancing on Fridays. We’re performing our foxtrot routine tomorrow night instead of passing out candy bars, with Leon Redbone providing the music rather than Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett. If anyone is in the vicinity of Murfreesboro, Tennessee about 9:15 tomorrow night, drop around to the National Dance Club on Memorial. It will be an ideal opportunity for cruel hilarity at our expense. And there’s an open bar.
I can play “Monster Mash” vicariously.

Can you do “I Wanna Be Seduced?’ vicariously? That’s what we’re dancing to. 😉
Nah. Here’s this one, though:

I have a Pumpkin Centipede, a blood-spattered apron and chef’s hat, George’s butcher shop on the porch, and I am offering children a choice: “Candy, or meat?” Ha! Yes! I bet no other houses around here give out packets of MEAT!!!
My other half is already pissed off at me, because he ate some candy. As if it’s my fault.
I still have not eaten any candy. I’m not bragging. I’d rather have a bacon, egg, and cheese than candy, any day. Neither one is a really good thing to eat.
my downfall this year…caramel apple milky ways
