Well, Rael, at least you don't have to put on a costume to look scary on Halloween!
What are you dressing up as for Halloween this year?

I'm surprised at how few put on a costume for Halloween. I went Trick or Treating until I was 21 when I decided that I couldn't be of legal drinking age and legal Trick or Treating age at the same time, and I needed to draw the line somewhere. I used to go out, come home, change costumes, and go out again.
This year I was Freddy Kruger, and my daughter was a Bat.

You still went at 21? Last year was my last time Trick-or-Treating, and I'm 15 now. I had a party instead, since it was on a Friday night. I was a bloody doctor, and we set up an "operation table" with a bloddy torso and (disconnected) head.

No, 21 was when I stopped. I went out at 20, but I made myself stay home and hand out candy at 21. Then my nephew was born, so I've gone around every year from 22 on as a chaperone (so I naturally get to "tax" their stash as I'm checking it for any signs of tampering ). 21 was the only year I DIDN'T go trick or treating. That was a rough year for me.
As a Chinese "wise guy" or oracle. While we were trick-or-treating me and my pal (a ninja) called ourselves the Asian Rappas Syndicated, and rapped what I made up while we were walking.
Trick to da treat,
Or you gonna smell mah feet!
On Halloween,
We gonna get seen,
as ghosts and ghouls,
Not ordinary fools.
Word.
This was accompanied by some sweet dancing. It was really interesting. Some houses we didn't rap at entirely, since they didn't seem like they would "appreciate" it. Some houses that we did rap at laughed, called the kids, and told us to do it again. Others just said, "Here you go" while we were grooving and closed the doors.
Those people need to get a life.
On another note, these older kids jumped up and grabbed my shoulders while we were walking, and I shouted in surprise. I myself don't curse, but while the culprit was walking away, laughing, my friend called them something, "offensive". Well, they turned right around and ran towards us, so we grabbed our precious candy and ran for it.
They need a life too.
