Ends up the harassment was that Herman Cain blew smoke at the two women.

1% of trick or treaters eat 40% of the candy! #OccupyHalloween

When I was a kid, it was free candy. Now I’m buying $25 of candy to give to kids I don’t know for reasons I don’t understand.

I tried choosing “trick” for first trick or treater. He pulled out a switchblade. Well played.

I think we’d be a much more relaxed country if we all had mustaches and smoked.

  1. I tried buying candy I don’t like so I won’t be tempted to eat it. Turns out it’s all made of sugar so I like it all.

    Well, almost. Next year: Candy corn, circus peanuts, and wax lips for everybody.

  2. The only way I can imagine the chin gesture being offensive is if he had the fingers under his own chin and an extremely high strung Italian from Brooklyn thought he was doing the “fongool” chin-flick. Which would be weird out of context.

    Yikes! Sorry for the bad advice. You must live in a rough neighborhood in… Iowa? I’m surrounded by good little boys and girls, who are merely puppets of their candy extorting masters.

    Usually, I back-load my candy, meaning that I’m chintzy early on and heavy on the candy at the end, but that means all the big kids at 9pm get all the candy, which I do not want to reward. So this year, I front-loaded my candy and it worked out beautifully. You snooze, you lose. Plus, I only ended up with like 8 pieces of candy left to tempt me. Candy should not tempt me. It is dangerous. For the candy.

    btw, your new third-party iframes on the left extend over some lines of your content.

  4. My candy budget is the same, irrespective of the number of kids that arrive. (Like federal budgeting, no?) The trick-er-treaters hit the jackpot when I lived in a neighborhood where I got about 8 kids. They got full-sized candy bars. The last 3 kids got 2 each.

    Make the effort, and I’ll reward it.

  5. Over the last three years we always ran out of candy, with hundreds of little ghouls and ghosts and goblins. This year we had less than fifty trick or treaters. Anybody want about eight pounds of candy?

    Those kids better be careful getting tuna from damncat. If he wanted to be mean he could spike it with some catsnip.

  6. High level studies show there is no media bias:

    – John Edwards fathers illegitimate child during campaign: news held until after general election.

    CAIN! might have verbally harassed a co-worker: Media outlets go into 24/7 orgasmic reporting frenzy. Talking heads are struck with demented verbal diarrheah relieved only by bouts of OWS reporting.

    Yup.

  7. I bought lots and lots of candy. The good stuff, like Snickers and Milky Way and such, not that Dollar General stuff in the red bags. Ended up eating it all; not a single child came to the door. Maybe I shouldn’t have left the sprinklers on.

  8. Oh! the kids are supposed to GET candy. Double face palm.

    I dressed as a priest.

    Living in Korea town, there are no cats in the neighborhood to give out tuna. But my new bow makes my Strat sound great!
