Okay, so I want to talk about that age-old tradition of "trick-or-treating." Now, if you think about it, it's pretty damn cool! I mean, it's amazing in this day and age that there is a day where kids can go up to a house of someone they don't know; ring the doorbell; say the magic words, "Trick or treat!" and get some free candy. Pretty damn amazing, ain't it? This is something that I participated in through high school; (yes, some people thought I was too old, but damn them all! It's free candy!) But, regardless of my age, I knew that the candy was NOT free. There is a small price to pay. I knew that in order to get candy, I had to be in costume. It's the unwritten rule in the Halloween Handbook. As an adult, I SERIOUSLY know that candy is far from free. Of course, when purchasing the goods, I think about the most important person in this scenario: ME! That is, if I get stuck with a ton of candy for whatever reason, I want it to be candy I like. So, I don't get the cheap "ass candy" - You know what I'm talking about: Hard, tasteless candy like Ju-Ju Bees or Mary Janes; I get the good stuff. Namely, CHOCOLATE! So, I loaded up on $30 to $40 worth of various kinds of Chocolate and dumped it all into a huge bowl, which I have called, "The Bowl of Glory!" It is truly a site to behold. Mmmmmmmmmm! So... here I am with my "Bowl of Glory," filled with goodies that truly NO child in their right mind would hate, and I have one rule. The unwritten rule. Which means: No costume. No candy! Now, I understand that if there's a kid who is 2 or something who is bundled up in a huge coat to keep warm isn't in any sort of costume - okay. But if there are any 8 - 11 year olds, begging for free candy who can't even come up with some last-minute thing, then you know what they can get from me? MY ASS!
Seriously, though! I'm not asking for much; just a bloody costume! I don't care if you come as Adam Sandler doing the stupid, "I'm crazy spoon head" bit - it's something.

I have decided that maybe the kids not in costume get the crappy free gum that we got from your office. Either that or pennies. Though both could be a good way to get our house TP'd or egged tonight.
Eh. Fuck em'!
