Trick or Treat

[BoRED S2upid]

The little scrotes will be starting this great American tradition soon enough. Hope you all have your cars under cover for the tricks and plenty of sweets in the house for the treats.

'Trick or Treat' actually started here and in Ireland... if you think the yanks are the main instigators you have never been in Dublin on the 31st.

Doesn't bother me, they won't get past the gates or the dogs so they won't get within 100 yards of the cars.







and yes, I am mr burns. . . . . . .

Yep, its the only time of the year my gates are closed and the dogs are starved.

[CypherP]

It's also the only time of year that I connect the spare battery to the gate.

Take cover in full sniper get-up, on your roof, with a .22 rifle.

Or possibly just buy some inexpensive sweets and put a lit pumpkin on the doorstep ?

Just a thought

[Shaw Tarse]

That time of year again?
Chocolate covered chilies?
Toffee onions?

What..and give in to the little darlings. Never, rather have my house egged.

[J-c]

Was it on piston heads last year where someone opened the door with his wanger hanging out ?? I could be wrong but found it funny at the time not funny for the kids.

It's a protection racket, you do realise?

[FreeLitres]

I have heard that a few people use ‘Trick-Treats’.

option 1:
Toffee Onions (Imagine Toffee Apples)

option 2:
Chocolate coated sprouts

option 3:
When the doorbell rings, respond with Supersoaker through the letter box

option 4:
Keep a baking tray full of pound coins in the oven at 220 degrees C. When the darlings come to the door, go inside, bring the tray to the front door and offer them a pound.

Of course, any of these options would be very irresponsible.

[FreeLitres]

I almost forgot...

option 5:
Paint your wellys silver and leave them outside your front door. They might think Mr Glitter lives there and leave you well alone.

godawful tradition, when my daughter gets old enough I certainly won't be allowing her out to pester innocent neighbours and interrupt their evenings

This is an annual thread.

I have told them all about the history of "Trick or Treating" but they still get annoyed.

The problem is that the English abandoned all their own Haloween "festivities" after the Reformation and they now perceive that these "new" festivities as being American. In reality, they are reimporting an Americanised derivative of old English (and Celtic) customs.

Last year the "residents association" of our block posted a note through everyone's door saying that the kids in the block wanted to start their trick or treating here. We were to decorate our door if we wanted them to knock. Unfortunately we were out at a party, but it seemed like a great idea.

This year I'm going to see Bloc Party, so won't be in either.

Well we find these papist-based activities irritating which is why five days later we all gather in fields to burn catholic effigies. . . . . .
