Our neighbor upstairs put a note on the door saying that trick or treaters should ring her bell, so no one was ringing ours. I just put a note up saying that our floor has candy too. Last year we put up a note to ring both floors, which made more sense.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
We didn't have any trick-or-treaters last year but I was at work and I'm willing to bet D didn't have the porch light on. I need to stop eating the candy.

Laga, you're welcome to hand out candy at my house. We get hundreds of kids. (Of course I am a Halloween curmudgeon and sick to boot, so I will be hiding in the back of the house with the porch lights off.)

Ooh, thanks for the offer, Kristin. It's tempting but a lot of driving as I have to be at Universal at noon tomorrow.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'll get maybe 20 kids or so coming through my neighborhood.
In order to keep myself from gorging on candy, I bought an assortment of Hot Tamales and Junior Mints. I'd rather gargle with napalm than eat either one.
Fortunately, the local yarn shop had a dish of candy corn, and the Y had a dish of candy out (nice of them to sabotage peoples' workouts...) so I got my requisite solidified corn sugar and mini-KitKat.
This year, I'm dressing up as a werewolf. Since there's no full moon tonight, it's an easy, easy costume.

The teenager upstairs is officially on the list. They just made fun of my costume.

Teenagers mock because they are insecure, sj, just try to remember that.
Laga, you'd be welcome to spend the night. We have a nice, germ-free guest room (I promise not to sneeze on you). We're a lot closer to Universal, so you'd be able to sleep in later, too. I'm going to go up to HHN for a little bit with Cricket tonight, actually, so you'd just have to bring your DS sweatshirt if you wanted to join us. You're on the crew list, after all.

I would probably remember that if they weren't always making so much noise, but I really can't stand them to begin with.

Ooh temptier and temptier. I did already commit to gaming in Long Beach today but those plans are on shaky ground so if they do fall through I will give you a call.

I can't talk, so texting or email is a better bet. Otherwise you'll call me and just get raspy whispering sounds on the other end.

Oh I'm not saying you should like them. Just saying don't feel badly about them mocking you, because it's almost definitely not about you.
