I'm sorry, that's ridiculous to me. Put your kids outside in the dark on a "scary" night then complain when they get scared? Blah. See, when I own my own place I'm going to do that, and probably have the cops called on me. I figure if you don't want your children scared don't let them go outside. Isn't that the point of Halloween.

Oh no, it's all about the candy. e_e

Sorry. Lmao.

Look at the handguard :p.

If that happened in America I'd half expect the tennent to try and sue the housing company for making him waste $600, regardless of what that thing that tries to call itself a newspaper states I think the subject under question was that he was breaking the terms of his tennency, the complaints just alerted the landlord.

What is she, OANST? Clearly some form of horseback warrior, but given the disparate element I'm having trouble identifying a single cultural origin (I thought Mongolian at first), and the sword just raises further questions.

Fantasy, perhaps?

The sword wasn't originally included. She had a different, more realistic sword but she broke it two nights before. My stepdad gave her that because it seconds as a flashlight. As for a cultural origin, it didn't really concern me. The costume is a combination of a few different ones. We just mixed and matched until we got it where she liked it.

*snorts*
Halloween.
How did that even start.
It was wunce a grate tradition.
Now, it's...5h1t.
Countless greasy teens go out with their younger siblings for the free candy and end up being gunned down by druggies who think that they are gangstas under masks that want to blow them up.
It really happened to one family in my home town.

Of course it did. (pats your hand) Of course it did.

Shut up, Oldie-gon'-moldie. It wasn't a lie. But if was a simple figment of my imagination it'll become true if you keep denying me.

And stick yo' tung in.

I'd do Halloween, but I don't have enough time to put together a good costume, plus, I'd feel dorky. Yeah, I said it. Hate me. It's not that I think it's dumb of older people to be doing it, I would just feel dumb unless I was more comfortable wondering around my town at night dressed up or if I was with a group of friends.

Oh, and "oldie-gone-moldie," teehee.

That is all

I was told that Halloween was originally an Irish custom that ended up in America, then back to Britain? I can;t be botehred to look it up to verify, however.^{[citation needed]}

Never been allowed, because of what BM said, my parents think, asking strangers for free cash basically, though I do enjoy the costumes and everything (not that I have ever done anything realting to it, unfortunately). Non-scary fairy costumes or whatever piss me off though.

I do agree with BM in that sense. OANST says just leave the porch light off, but not everyone might have one and they knock anyway. And in some places, the older pricks (especially if they know you're in) just egg and silly string your house if you don't relent money/cndy to them. So I kinda disagree with what OANST saying you have the choice whether to or not, it's either give them that or clear up mess to your house (I'm sure also worse damage than eggs in possible). And general possible dodgy bastards wandering around with BB guns or whatever. Not a day and age where children under 16 could do this safely (though this again depends on the area).
Some kids at your door are nice and cute, others are selfish twats, and you can't really discriminate against some and not others exactly. Rather difficult.

But due to moving house, haven't had trick or treaters for two years. Presumably due to structure of area/gates etc.
