We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Tim is currently building the trashpipe. (He also just said "Use the PVC pipe to make a bigger, more reliable trebuchet. Don't MAKE me come up there.")

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Steph, how is Tim joining the soda bottles together? Duct tape?

I just feel like this is important information. I might need to make a trashpipe someday, you never know.

flea, that post was a wonderful story.

Damn it! Skittles will not go down the trashpipe!

I...actually don't know. I'll go look.

Clear packing tape.

Also, Twizzlers and Starburst *will* go down the trashpipe. So I guess we'll save the Skittles until last, if we run out of Twizzlers and Starburst, and then, I don't know, throw them at the kids?

You see our dilemmas! The PVC pipe was too narrow for Reese's, bags of Reese's Pieces, and Junior Mints.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Throwing skittles at trick or treaters seems like it could almost be part of their marketing plan.

I'm enjoying the candy delivery systems reporting very much! I didn't even buy candy this year, just gonna leave the light off. Trick or treating is discouraged anyway, although the city has several "drive through trick or treat" locations which seems like a pretty good idea for a compromise

flea, do you have any cardboard (like Amazon boxes you kept for your cats to play in) you can use to make an open-top candy slide/chute?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys are much more fun than my plan of putting some candy into ziploc bags for the 2-4 kids I am expecting.

Our wings are not tired.

I have no idea if I am getting kids. They didn't have the usual party in the park this year. DH will have candy, but I suspect I'll be freezing it or giving it away elsewhere.
