Another successful All Hallows Eve. Some of the better costumes:
1. A deceased girl in a red dress (Little Dead Riding Hood)
2. Another girl with a machete through a box of Lucky Charms (a "cereal killer")
3. A girl covered in sponges ("I'm a self absorbed teenager"), and
4. One guy that did an awesome makeup job of having a skateboard protruding forward & aft!
Since several folks here noted my habit of providing libations to the accompanying parents....
One
MILF er, parent, was wearing some awe-inspiringly tight leather pants & boots, with a white lacy top - - clearly my kind of pirate. With a very light French accent, she said "trick or treat." Apparently, I responded, "you betcha' "
One neighbour came back three times "trick or treating" (the 3rd time she left with a mug of Baileys and shot of coffee [her son is clinically hyperactive - - I don't envy her morning]).
One guy, (he's Sigs, but he's OK), said to heck with the kids and sat on my porch drinking beer the rest of the night.
All in all....a good time was had.
Sometimes suburbia's OK
