Since it's Halloween...

[Mace Canute]

I came across this article about where the phrase "Trick or Treat" started... Who knew?

The origins of ‘Trick or Treat’: Lethbridge home to a piece of Halloween history | Globalnews.ca

I think it's a real shame that today's young people don't even know why we really celebrate Halloween. None of us would be here today if Jesus hadn't slain that giant pumpkin...

I started trick or "beer" in my old neighborhood.

Couldn't resist. Saw some kiddos leaving my neighbors house as I was getting home from work.

Ran over and rang the bell. When his wife answered I said "Trick or Beer". With out missing a beat, she yelled her husband's name. He came around the corner laughing with a cold brew

I repaid the favor when they brought their little one over a little later on

Some other neighbors found out about it, so the next year there was lots of fathers taking their kids around and dragging rolling coolers

You could do one the following morning, black coffee or aspirin......

I must have missed that lesson in 12 years of Catholic school and reading Peanuts.

There's a guy in my in-laws' neighborhood that grills brats and burgers and has a can vending machine in his open garage full of beer for the adults every halloween.

Well, I'd love to discuss my feelings on the whole Catholic experience, however, I think it's best we return to our original programming at this time.... :laughing:

A discussion for another forum. :thumbsup:

Man, the weather for Halloween was brutal last night. COLD! Rain, wind, wet snowflakes. My in-laws usually get 75-100 kids. They only had maybe 20-25 last night.

On the bright side.... I got a lot of Snickers bars left over. :licking:

That was our weather last year minus the snow flakes. Last year was rain followed by gully washers, then back to rain, ect..... The grandkiddos were die hards last year and finished off dressed up as trash sacks :laughing:

This year was cold, but dry. Kids made out like bandits, then ran and hid when I tried to collect the Pappy tax :hissyfit::laughing: They wised up after last year

One of our locals made himself unpopular with the kids, they got chocolate coated brussell sprouts:yuck:
