Kelsain Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Ah well, Tokyo Tower got the stomach flu, so we didn't go anywhere or do anything this year. I did make a paper facehugger to wear when I answered the door, at least... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkid24 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Made 200 bags of candy so far for the onslaught of kids that come every year...only 200 more to go. Wow you make bags? Why not just give out handfuls? It would be less time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) Wow you make bags? Why not just give out handfuls? It would be less time consuming. Easier to judge how many kids come by. Plus, when you give handfuls you usually wind up giving un-even amounts to kids. On a side note, 400 bags given this year and it wasn't enough...the handfuls of loose candy then went into play for about 20 or so more kids in the last 30 mins or so before the garage door went down and all the stuff turned off.

JsARCLIGHT Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 My wife and I basically stayed home... no one had any parties so we did not get to dress up. Against my better judgement I bought a bag of candy on the way home halloween night and turned on the porch light to see how many kids we'd get. We got one, only one. Not too shocking though as we live in a brand new development way out in the sticks and I think only one house in this whole place has kids and I think it was that couple with their kid that came by. I think I gave the kid like ten candy bars... heh. The remainder got taken to the VA by my wife. Go I guess halloween is officially dead to us now.

VF-19 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I worked the closing shift at the grocery store on halloween... It was deader than a morgue. But the manager handed out candy so it made up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 My wife and I went as Inspector Gadget and Penny. awesome! How much hair gel did you use, or was that a wig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totoro242 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Thanks! My head is completely bald so it was a wig. The costume was bought completely at thrift stores except the wig and the gloves. I only wish I had time to add a propeller blade and handlbars to the hat awesome! How much hair gel did you use, or was that a wig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
