Merry Halloween

Big0ne

I guess tomorrow will be the big day.  Lots of little beggars running around threatening people for candy and such.  I'm not a big fan of Halloween these days.  It's not that I begrudge anyone who does enjoy it, it just seems the older I get the less interest I have in it.  I'm sure if I had kids I'd be more inclined to participate but as it is I'll probably hide in the basement and play GH or RB.  I know, I know, just like every other night.

There are a couple of things though that irritate me about the holiday though.  Yeah, I know what you're thinking, "Big surprise!"

1. People who dress their infants up and then parade them around for trick-or-treating.  These kids have no idea what's going on, they can't eat candy yet and no one thinks your kid is cute in his ladybug outfit except you.  Leave your pint sized poop machine at home and wait 'til he's old enough to carry his own candy bag please.

2. People who take their kids to other people's neighborhoods.  What's wrong with your own neighbors?  This seems like a great way for anonymous people to poison your kids and you'll never know 'cause you don't know the people in the Park Place and Boardwalk editions.  More than that though, I don't want to feed the kids in my own neighborhood, much less yours. 

Ok, that's enough gripping for one day.  Enjoy your trick-or-treating, parties and general mischievousness tomorrow.  I'm going to go create a good Halloween themed play list for Rock Band.
