basically this happened to me this evening:

mom + kids knock on door, i answer, i leave door ajar and go get them tons of sweets. Whilst im in the kitchen the kid 'runs' in and stuff, mom follows. Next thing i know my phone and wallet are gone. I tried ringing my phone and it just rang. Tried 5 minutes later and its switched off.

****ed up huh?

[iREZ]

you got hosed!

Never let anyone in the house unless you have your 12 gauge shotgun aimed at them the entire time.

One more reason why I hate Halloween.

F%$* Halloween.

Well, it was never the same after Allan Holdsworth and Bill Bruford
left - the Terry Bozzio on drums edition of UK was good but apparently
the in-fighting between John Wetton and Eddie Jobson apparently was
too much.

OH, you mean UK the country.

Why don't you have a bowl of treats right by the door?

Never ever leave your door open and unnattanded like that.

Why was your wallet not on your person?
Same with the cell phone? Where was it?

[:XI:]

Had trick or treaters let themselves in tonight too.
Nothing was stolen, thankfully. (Well, nothing's been noticed as missing.)

Also, some oiks covered my windscreen in toilet paper soaked in what we assumed to be eggs. It was a bitch to get off.

Just got back from pub and was in the progress of dressing up as a goth, so was changing jeans and table in lounge was a good dumping group.

So what do we learn from this ?

Never open the door on Halloween without the treats already in your hand

Only in America™

[Gee4orce]

Unfortunately, not just in America - here in the UK now too. F*cking american 'tradition' that's been 'adopted' over here in recent years (read: retailers realise there's money to be had, so start stocking halloween stuff). Just an excuse for yobs to run riot in the streets it seems - slap an ASBO on the lot of 'em.....

[Gee4orce]

...and don't even get me started on bonfire night. Or Bonfire fortnight as it now seems to be.


(ASBO = Anti Social Behaviour Order)

[Naplander]

True, true.

Halloween has become a night of anarchy for loads of people to be able to conceal their faces, and bcasically get free license to cause havoc.

Haven't ever seen so many police on the streets of North London as last night.

IDIOTS!!!

"TRICK or TREAT" means JUST that. You don't give out treats they can try n trick you. Same goes in reverse. I used to scare all the Halloweeners away with my Alien Costume and a few black leaf bags filled with leaves that look like alien eggs spread across the lawn. I hope they all had nightmares! Trusting folks you don't even know displays a LARGE amount of stupidity.

And my post wasn't?

You know what "trick or treat" most resembles? A protection racket... ...If you don't pay up bad things will happen to you.

Well screw that.

Just saying:

Halloween originated as a Pagan festival among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain with Irish, Scots, Welsh and other immigrants transporting versions of the tradition to North America in the 19th century. Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century.
The term Halloween, and its older spelling Hallowe'en, is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening before "All Hallows' Day"[1] (also known as "All Saints' Day"). The holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions, until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints Day from May 13 to November 1. In Ireland, the name was All Hallows' Eve (often shortened to Hallow Eve), and though seldom used today, it is still a well-accepted label. The festival is also known as Samhain or Oíche Shamhna to the Irish, Calan Gaeaf to the Welsh, Allantide to the Cornish and Hop-tu-Naa to the Manx. Halloween is also called Pooky Night in some parts of Ireland, presumably named after the púca, a mischievous spirit.
Many European cultural traditions hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent (e.g. Catalan mythology about witches, Irish tales of the Sídhe).
