It worked out pretty well.

you'll accomodate one group but frown on another. Whatever.

as for the greedy kids scenario, I know that happens, plus I dont want anyone to smash our Jack O Lanterns. Like I said, I havent actually made up my mind. What I'd LIKE to do and what I WILL do may be two different things.

Bikerchick, my kids imposed their own limit. they stopped when they werent comfortable with it. Makes more sense to me. Different strokes for different folks I guess. And since you HATE Halloween and I LOVE it, between the two of us, I'd say Im the luckier one...

I'll accomodate kids but not adults is a double standard? Help me out here, I guess I'm slow, but what are you talking about? ???

considering I AM the tooth fairy, I am not sure what your point is? I dont believe in Santa or the Easter Bunny either, just so you know.

Ive never seen such a collection of wet blankets in my life~

example of double standard for Paula: thinking its perfectly OK to give booze to 19yr olds and frowning on a piece or two of candy to another adult.

one is harmless, the other is potentially illegal. go figure.

your double standard comment seemed to imply that the DS was that paula would serve kids candy but not adults. now i just don't have any clue what you're talking about.

You.Have.Got.To.Be.Kidding.Me.

You thought I was serious about that? Did you even read Strand's post, the one in which I replied to? Here it is again, for your review:

Quote:

EXACTLY - I mean I bet if a gaggle of older gay guys (and mind you over 19 is old for this hooker) pranced up to her door, she'd be all smiles and then would haul out the Schnapps for them

Do "older gay guys" frequently trick or treat in large groups in your neighborhood? Since it's not the norm here, therefore I assumed Strand was being facetious & poking fun at my love for the gays. So I replied jokingly, as most people would.

And I assumed that "this hooker" meant Strand, but I could be mistaken on that one.

Here is my sarcastic witty tongue firmly in cheek response:

Quote:

Sure, free booze for the gays is just a given. But I stand firm on my "no candy for middle aged straight broads" decision

.

Yeah. Way to read into that one, Mary. Sure sounds like I support giving out free alcohol illegally to minors.

Give me a break.

1. I love poking Paula

2. You people are killing me

I knew Jason was joking and I assumed you were playing along but why you can be playful about one thing and not the other makes no sense to me.

Come ON. just what exactly do you object to? the fact that an ADULT would have the nerve to go with their kid and hope for a handout? its all in FUN, a point which you KEEP MISSING. The way I see it, if a person plays along, they "get" the "fun" aspect. if they dont, they dont. Apparently you dont. What EVER. Im not going to be in your neighborhood, so get over it.

^ Nothing to get over. I tried to end this stupid pissing contest 4 pages ago when I said you do your thing, I'll do mine.

I don't give a sh*t if you go trick or treating. But don't get all pissy when someone thinks you're an assh*le for doing so.

I'm done. Go ahead & have the last word, it's what you live for.

why don't we just break out the ruler and measure our dicks.

oh, wait...I'd win either way it goes. ok, so why don't we just break out the ruler and measure our dicks.

but for the record, trick or treating as an adult is hella lame. don't care who you are. who "gets" the "fun" in handing out candy to a grown ass person? that's the real question. maybe they're the ones we should be bitching at, strike that, discussing this with.

oopps, sorry I don't mean to drag this argument on.
