Sachmo, hope T&T tonight really is as magical for your daughter as you remember it for you.

We didnt do T&T over here in Blighty when I was a child, I think it started off when I was about 17 and there was no way I was going door to door begging for beer!

It does shock you though, I remember Last year there was a knock on the door and as I was right by the door, I whipped it open before the chaperone for the little T&T'er could get out of the way so I was faced with this 20 year lad standing about 6'5" with more muscles than arnie.. he gave a embarassed grin and moved aside so that his very little sister in devil outfit could be seen... she got sweets, he got a glass of whisky to stand off the night-chill, it did give me a fright though

Thanks, tigga!

And how nice of you to offer the chaperone a shot of the good stuff! I never thought of that, and over here in the US you would probably get sued or something, but it's a nice gesture!

I'm sure I have no idea what you are talking about. Besides it is all Fyron's fault. He is the one that turned me.

[Grumpy Rant]You and Fyron and everybody else with these stupid "vampire" links with all their stupid popups, and their stupid popups that open other popups when you close them, and their stupid popups with no close buttons, and their stupid popups that try to trick me into chaging my homepage to some stupid website can BITE ME![/Grumpy Rant]

Oh, and Happy Halloween. My youngest daughter's first trick or treat is tonight as well.

Well, in the hallowed environs of Knutsford Cheshire, it is a bit of a tradition to have a bottle of the 'good stuff' lurking by the front door next to the big bowl of sweets. As a lot of the chaperones are neighbours or friends, it seems churlish not to share nature's bounty with them. The trouble is that some of the dad's have a tendency to come back sloshed after doing the rounds.

The saddest sight was my neighbour having to be half carried home by his two little girls he was in such a state. First time I have seen an adult propped up by a 4'3" vampire and a 3'5" devil

A Protoss for Halloween? *That* would be a pretty cool costume. Unfortunately, only about 0.01% of the populace would have even a chance at understanding it...

In the meantime, go listen to some good Halloween music:

I found this list of a bunch of animated Halloween sites and different jokes. It's pretty cool.

Edited for good manners...

If they have to ask, just tell 'em you're an alien

[geoschmo]

"Protoss"? Are we talking about Starcraft? Or something else?

Just had bizzare experience Last night. Some kids came to my door dressed as monsters and asked for treats. Hadn't realised it was Halloween and didn't have anything to give them - bit embarassing really. First time I have ever had someone come to my door - the grasp of American culture grows stronger! Where does all this Halloween stuff originate from - I always thought it was just an American thing?

NVM, I take that back...
