Our first at the new house. I got high on my own supply and am down to seven pieces at 7:15! Make that four pieces!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh bon, just make sure they are good pieces!
(I inherited my neighbors' stash from them going out. I'm left with gob stoppers, which I don't like. Left them in a bag hanging off the door.)

I've had the porch light off and the front door closed all evening, and since I've come in from the back yard I've had two groups of kids knock on the door. I don't know how many may have knocked while I was in back. I thought Porch Light Off was the universal symbol of No Candy Here.

This is a suburb but normally very quiet-- no street lights or sidewalks. I bought like 50, thinking we'd have too much left over. Do kids eat kashi bars?!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Maybe stay inside, Chicago? Yikes!
I'm still at work. I'm hoping LSD is open when I get out in an hour or so from now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We are getting our usual slew of TorTers starting around 7. Maybe 6:30? Anyway had quite a few already, all in the wee zone. I may have underbought, so may have to close shop before the teens show up at around 9.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
No T-or-Ters, as is normal since even people from our neighborhood have no idea our block even exists.
(Seriously. It's like it's some kind of top secret pocket universe thingy. That, or the very bad lighting on the nearest streetcorner.)
We ditched and went to the fencing club party dressed up as Ennis Del Mar and DCI Gene Hunt, which is to say, totally unrelated costumes we could throw together at 7pm based on stuff we already own. Nobody got either reference, but a good time was had by all.
Total score: 100% of the candy for ourselves, and whatever fencing mom brought a bottle of 15-year Macallan wins everything forever.

Just checked, bag is gone! Awesome.
Oh, the DCI mention reminded me of one teen. He had a hat (trilby?) with checkerboard band,a black utility vest over smart white shirt and tie, smart cargo khakis and shiny black oxfords. Looked very smart, but I was confused. I asked. He said he was a British patrol cop, but he couldn't find a neon windbreaker. Ok then!

I had one kid who was dressed such that I guessed, thinking Halloween, Men In Black? Nope, just Secret Service. Well okay then!
Teens are already coming by, so that's good. Won't feel bad if have to close shop early. I have candy for about 15 more kids, and pretty sure all the toddlers are done for the night.
So TeeFury is having a sale and I am thinking of buying this shirt: link

Bought it. I've been wanting ever since I discovered oh these many months ago that I'd missed out on getting it the first time.
