Doing this can be very cathartic, plus you get to keep all your candy for yourself.

Ah, but that would require dressing up...

I wouldn't hold your breath.

Haha, actually, one Halloween, my dad made a stuffed kid in a Halloween costume. Instead of eating it, though, he'd place it in front of the neighbours' door, ring the doorbell, run away, and observe the confused neighbours' reactions from afar. Fun times.

Another great Halloween prank involved me putting on a costume (complete with an awesome lifelike Darth Vader mask), stuffing myself scarecrow-style so I'd look like some sort of stuffed doll, and lying immobile on a bench outside my door with a basket of candy with the words "Take One" on a sign pointing to it, while turning off the lights inside the house to make it seem like no one was home. A bunch of almost-pubescent girls ran over and tried to take all the candy, but were scared nearly to death as I jumped up and grabbed them.

Offense.

On the matter of that spelling, I must come to Robert's defence.

I'm going to have to convert you to the joys of British spelling, Saks...

SakSquash · 08-17-2006, 02:59 PM

I refuse to believe that's how they spell it in the UK.

If it's true, then God save the Queen.

As an Englishman I have a licence to spell "offence" in that way. It's no use trying to criticise me

You could always dress up as the tyrant schoolmaster from Pink Floyd's "The Wall", then.
