November 1, 20223 yr am i crazy or are the elementary kids trying to trick or treat earlier now? we generally shut down our block as we get a large influx of traveling trick or treaters (cars tying to drive down the street with tons of kiddos is no bueno) but they blocked it off at 4pm and the bulk of the kids on the block came around at 4:30pm. At least let the sun think about setting ffs.

Our town's "official hours" were published as being from 3:00 to 7:00 which is especially asinine because both the grade schools and the middle schools were still in session at 3pm.
November 1, 20223 yr 6-8 in our suburb (lots of neighborhood kids, fair amount of country folk driving in), and it pretty much started right at 6 and wrapped up around 8. We got a bit of rain that impacted things but I think it was similar last year with clear weather. lol 3-7 fuck you i missed this thread previous years. looking forward to finding a thickass ugly pumpkin next year for nightmare fuel

As soon as the vans carrying kids from other parts of town would arrive everyone's porch lights went off. My sprinklers were already on for trick treaters of all races.
November 1, 20223 yr yeah, most everyone does not do that and just embraces the fact that we'll get 100s trick or treaters for Halloween. it can get crazy if it falls on a weekend, but Monday was not too bad even though we ran out of candy around 8:30pm almost no wind, so the smoke machine was awesome last night

High school kids are non-existent. Edited November 1, 20223 yr by MeerkatBong
November 1, 20223 yr I declared the right of jus primae noctis on my kids' candy bags last night. They protested, but I assured them "It is my noble right" in between bites of a Snickers.

November 1, 20223 yr i saw that some psycho was handing out bags of SunChips. saw the bag in a kid's pumpkin as they getting candy at our house. wtf is wrong with people? there was also some crazy lady on nextdoor trying to shame people using fake cotton webbing in their yards by claiming that by doing so a multitude of birds were surely going to die from being trapped in the strands.
November 1, 20223 yr Moved to the country in ETX last year. Not a single trick or treater last year or this year. It is glorious. Edited November 1, 20223 yr by nnm

November 1, 20223 yr Have a neighbor that goes all out to Halloween, including the 12 foot skeleton. He left a table with candy out while they took the kid around the neighborhood. I see his next door neighbor lady come over and snap pictures of their yard and the skeleton and then head back into her house with all the lights turned off. I guess she liked the decorations but didn't want anything to do with Halloween.

November 1, 20223 yr Where i live now you will get shot if you go around knocking on doors wearing a mask. Halloween or not.
November 1, 20223 yr Kind of a weird night last night. We actually had a more robust trick-or-treat scene the last two years of Covid. Maybe because of Monday, but almost every kid had today off because of parent-teacher conferences. And it didn't help that our neighbor had demolition on their remodel going on until past 6 o'clock. But overall, the whole neighborhood was festive, just not terribly engaged nor high volume. Had some folks from other areas of town come and they were most welcome (I live the in least douchiest part of the most Karen part of town). I threw up the Ws game on the projector only to learn it was postponed so we put on some Halloween movies for the kids who were wiped from walking. plenty of drinks and candy, but it was just kind of weirdly low-traffic. Me and a handful of other dads kinda informally have everything covered each year from entertainment to booking a food truck to projection screen to mobile bars to traffic cones to route traffic on all the dead-end roads, etc. This afternoon finally has me thinking that my repeated emails with the subject headline "We are all going to die from Fentanyl" may have dissuaded some foot traffic. I dunno.

November 2, 20223 yr Our neighborhood was wall-to-wall kids as it usually is. From 5-8 every block in our neighborhood is crawling with kids and families. Houses generally go all out with decorations. This year we had a house with a live band, another with an animatronic bartender, another with an entire graveyard set up with candy in coffins etc, another with a cotton candy station...it was fantastic.
November 2, 20223 yr Had quite a few at my house in Georgetown. I always sit in my lawn chair in the driveway with cold beer and tunes. That way I do not have to answer the door every 5 minutes and....BONUS.....I get to check out all of the MILFS.

November 23, 20223 yr Author New guy took some kind of piss on our front porch so I moved him to his putrification copse a little prematurely. His "lower jaw" (for lack of a better term) was full of an orange-ish liquid. I dumped a little bit so I could carry it without becoming a biohazard but much of it remains.

November 25, 20223 yr Just told my 13 year old about our new family member of the warty pumpkin variety. He reports that one of the eyes is black and there is a black substance oozing out if his mouth.
March 2, 20232 yr Author I've been neglectful, both in my duties as a gourdfather, but moreso in keeping you all abreast with monthly updates. And I fear that I have some bad news. A varmint has eaten almost the whole ass out of this year's rotter. I noticed a big gaping hole a while ago, and for what it's worth, it seems like the feasting has come to an end. But this one may not have the structural integrity to become (or remain) a permanent part of future lineups. He was keeled over when I went out to check on him. In the shot above, you can see the aftermarket asshole there on the right side. Here's the best shot of the damage I could get just holding my phone into the bushes. When I reached in to help straighten him out, he was mushy at the top of his head. Not sure what that portends, but it's probably not ideal.

September 19, 20232 yr Author 22 minutes ago, Grade of D as in David said: It's about that time of year. How are the gourds looking? Very low expectations for this year's (well, last year's) new monster. As previously reported, someone or something has eaten much of its ass, and not in the good way. There's a real Frank Beamer quality to it now, at least as far as I can tell without disturbing it. It kept tipping over and I eventually gave up on propping it up, and I have little faith that it will stand upright very easily or for very long once I extract it from the bushes. But who knows - maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised in a couple of weeks. And the previous two have fared well by spending the offseason in my garage. Edited September 19, 20232 yr by Prepuce of Doom
