My dad said when he was a kid in SF, Willie Mays would give out silver dollars on Halloween.

Woah! Can you imagine receiving one of those and still having it today?

Do people still TP other people's houses?

Probably, though I rarely see it happen around here. Probably the most criminal activity I engaged in personally during Halloween was to soap the windows and lawn mower of a neighbor.

He was a real grump and had it coming, but yes... I regret it now. Or do I???

You crook.

We'll, poop. I managed to find Frankenberry, Booberry, & Count Chocula @ Kmart... but not the two rereleases. Maybe next time.

As reported by our friend Rondal at StrangeKidsClub, this year's McDonalds McBoo Pails are a big disappointment to me.





There's just no need for McDonald's to extend their merchandising of Happy Meals to the McBoo Pails. It destroys the "Halloween" feel of the gimmick. I for one, will not be rushing my kids to McD's for this year's offering, as in years past.

What's Monster High?

Just another line of scantily clad dolls, but with a "monster" theme. It's seems pretty uninspired to me, but I'm not a teenage girl so...

The Bratz dolls were bad enough.

I wonder if anyone around here still Trick-or-Treats.

Thankfully for me, I have 3 kids. So, every year, We dress up as a group of characters. I've been a Safari guide, Mr. Incredible, & Captain Hook.





This year, I'll be a Jedi Knight. Sweet.

I doubt that one person alone can dress as Jabba the Hutt. That's a big dude!

My girlfriend wants me to go with her as she takes her little brother. I'm dressing up. But not anything big. A wolf for me and she's going as a black cat.

I can remember the Halloween parties in school and the parade we had then trick or treating around the classrooms to get practice before the real deal that night.
