The movie Trick 'r Treat, scaring the neighborhood kids, and blowing out all the jack o lanterns at 12:01.

And leave out a bowl of milk and a tray of candies for the demons/fairies overnight.

Haha. It's always a vibe. Saw a little kid dressed as the warden from Minecraft and I pretended to have the darkness effect and gave him a wad of mini crunch bars. I think he was super happy to get recognized!

And they aren't hard and fast rules. Just a sliding scale. And after being on candy duty for the last 15 years, you kinda just internalize it.

Plus, Halloween is all about the rules. Say trick or treat. Don't blow out your pumpkin before midnight so the demons don't get ya. Always check your candy.

There are rules for my parents house. I give out the candy there and we go through like 30 pounds of it in a night.

Not Saying Trick or Treat? No Candy. (EDIT: If they don't say it, I always ask them "What do you say?" Which is funny too. Sometimes they go through "Thank you" "Happy Halloween" then finally get to "Trick or Treat." Then they do get their appropriate amount of candy.)

Saying Trick or Treat with no costume? One candy, low tier.

Trick or Treat with Costume? 2 pieces, probably some chocolate.

Trick or Treat with High Effort or Very Unique costume I haven't seen 10 of all night? 3-4 pieces def some chocolate and a ring pop.

Within that, older siblings escorting younger? Extra piece + glow stick.

Family Costume Set? Extra piece and my mom takes a picture of them.

I scare the shit out of you when I rip the door open? Extra piece?

I scare you and you cry? Extra chocolate.

Babies? Mom deserves an extra piece.

I don't think I'll ever be one of those. Tho, TexasDrunk always seems to chime in when he sees me. But it has been a while.

Hi TexasDrunk, hope it was a good Halloween at the bar.

And they are collectively shortening our lifetimes too so we pollute less so they can keep their jetliners running during a lunch break in France!

Well, that's scary.

Apples > Raisins && Toothbrushes.

I've never seen you and Tim Walz in the same place. So the jury is still out.

Oh, don't I know it. I have to live with myself. And don't take my comment as disagreement with you. I was just extending your joke. Brunch is a good goal. I can just never have it because work always gets in the way.

Very "a few rubber bands, a liquid lunch, and a particle accelerator" vibe.

There is no brunch under the heavy yoke of end stage hypercapitalism.

I think it's more like, all the shit he's done has killed the cancer/disease before it could even raise its ugly head.

Glad to hear he is alright and his testosterone is just... "Like that."

Got me worried when I heard he might have health problems.

I've got 3 AMAB siblings but they really don't like it when I call them sister.

You wouldn't a you wouldn't would you?

Technically? All dinosaurs are fish. You are a fish. But you are not a dinosaur.

No such things as trees either...
