No rolled pennies or circus peanuts at my house. Just the good stuff. Except my husband has been known to hand out condiment packets to those not wearing costumes. Hot sauce packets seem to be the favored condiment.

HEY! There are cats in my signature and you never gave me a rep! Is there some prejudice here that it can only be in avatars?

We get tons here.

The other day we were talking about terrible Halloween treats. My son's contribution to the discussion: water conservation coloring books, and religious tracts.

I used to despise getting pennies. Ugh.

I'm too stingy to give candy OR condiment packets. Arby's Sauce, Horsey Sauce, Ketchup or Hot Sauce packets come in handy for work lunches.

So does Absolute Write do like Trick-Or-Reps?

I'd never give away Horsey Sauce!

Oh good lord! I think there were over a baziilion reps for Charlie. One of my faves was

I'm trying to write a rep about cute, dead dogs, but it never comes out sounding very good.

Give me a moment to send you all thank-you reps. And actually - thank you. Really. I mean it.

Thank you for the derail!! And on the topic of Hallowe'en - we've started having it here in Australia, as well.

It's a lot of fun!

I'm saving one of my best candies for you. Chocolate all the way.

Albedo reps are like unicorn tears. They cure baldness, leprosy, and ebola.

Also, they don't exist.

The Colonial Bread man lived in my neighborhood. One year he gave out tiny loaves of bread. He was all kinds of awesome.

Don't mention trick-or-treaters to me. All they'll get at my house is an unanswered doorbell and a notice in the window saying "This is England, not America".

This town has a sign up list for trick or treat-friendly houses. But better than that, because it's an alien concept and the kids don't know any better, some sensible person has persuaded the little 'uns that they have to perform a trick -- singing, dancing, a little bit of conjuring, that sort of thing -- in order to get a treat.

Gilroy Cullen · Oct 30, 2014

I'll be tricking my neighborhood kiddies this year. Lots of spider decor, but me not home... Unlike years past.

Oh well. :evil

Oh we got that a lot when I had a trick or treat Halloween birthday party here in New Zealand when I was 10.

That was back in the 80s, we're pretty much fully Americanized now.

Oh, that's MUCH better than just saying "trick or treat!" It's especially good if they can do it while seeing you pick your teeth.
