I tell you, when I went out trick-or-treating when I was a bit younger,
starting, oh, four**** years ago, I never once went out before it got
dark. It's not trick-or-treating if you can see the sun, damn it.

Well, now that we've moved out to what's essentially a glorified Goddamn
suburb, we get trick-or-treating starting at around 4:30PM. Or we did
last year.

This year, not a single person came to our house asking for candy before
it got dark. And once it got dark, there were many, enough so that we
ran out o' candy.

YAY!

Not one single kid came to our house. I guess the neighbourhood hookers
aren't much into trick or treating.

Aren't married people generally too old to trick-or-treat?

Well, I think they're into HALF of it.

cornucopia of fun-size candy bars, starbursts, and Zots ]


I didn't dress up. I was sort of hoping someone would ask me, "Where's your
costume!?" so I could tell them, "What do you mean, 'Where's my costume?'
I'm actually a woman!" But nobody asked me that, possibly because I'm no
longer 8 years old.

But I did play Planescape: Torment for Halloween. Any game where you start
off wandering around through zombie processing tables, accompanied by a
smartass floating skull named "Morte", gets ten zillion bonus halloween
points in my book.

Also! In the Homestar Runner halloween cartoon (which features Strong Sad
dressed as David Byrne), you can meet the anime Strong Bad by clicking on
the trick-or-treaters' pumpkin instead of on the candy. And then you can
feed him Akira. Oh, man.

I didn't dress up, but I still got to have flowers painted all over my
face by a clown. It looked pretty cool, actually. Hooray! Halloween
was saved!

I was trumped by my dentist. I had a filling-fixing appointment at
11AM Halloween morning. I dressed in jeans and my favourite "Los
Angeles" tee shirt (black), my famous Red Keds, then added a gold-
plastic-with-big-plastic-jewels tiara and long dangly "pearl" and
"diamond" earrings. When I walked into the office, my dentist eyed me
and said "I guess you won't be needing that crown we discussed---
you've already got one."

Damn.

Also: One of the little kids who showed up at our door that night was
dressed as a creature I didn't recognize.

"Wow! Great costume!" I exclaimed, "Who ARE you?"

"Sam," he answered reassuringly.

Heh!

This does not, however, trump the little kid five years ago who, after
I made a big deal about being frightened by his and his friends'
outfits said scornfully, "Lady. We're KIDS. In COSTUMES."

I love Halloween.

You would have to ask the clown. He was actually so proud of it that
he took a picture of my flowery face. If a really old clown with tons
of political buttons all over his suspenders comes to a Halloween
party near you, check out his portfolio of face painting designs.

Well okay, but what about the girlios? What did they dress up as, and
why haven't we seen pixoids?
