    Little bastards are worse than telemarketers.

    There should be no reason for a parent to go to the door with a kid who is older than 3.

    Yeah. Most of the time, I hate kids. All of them. YES, EVEN YOURS, WHICH IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST ADORABLE KID ON THE PLANET!!!!!

    But I do make an exception for Halloween, at least recently. Maybe because I get to use a fog machine and turn it into a drinking event.

    Starting Friday, though, all kids are back to being evil.

    I'd say 3/4 of the kids who show up at my door are the ones with no costume, almost some facial hair, and a Kroger plastic bag. But in my neighborhood, you don't piss off the teens. So candy it is!

    We've found Fart -- he is a woman in North Dakota who is handing out letters that say your kid is too fat to get any candy.

    Yeah, in our old neighborhood we'd get 10-o-clock doorbell-ringers (which in Halloween-kiddie-time is the equivalent of 4 a.m.) in hoodies in their early 20s ... with no kids. Probably looking for Marlboros, but sadly all I'd have is the dregs of the candy jar.

    I'll be working. No one will stop by the desk.

    If one chooses to view it this way, problem solved.

    Plans are still up in there air, but I *think* my 4-year-old son and I are going trick-or-treating for the first time. We'll see how he likes it.

    I've lived in high rise buildings with few kids for the last 20+ years. I've only ever had one trick or treater - an infant. The kid was in costume and very cute but too young for candy. Obviously the mom was going to eat it. What a scam.
