    Also you might get a wand that can turn group members into a pirate.

    Well... many folks will recall I bought quite a few dozen barrels of those "toxic waste" Super sour sweets last year to distribute to the children who knocked on the door.

    Well - it seems to have worked as this year we've not had ONE single trick or treater this year.

    I might just have to see if Asda still sell these sweets just in case theres a knock on the door tonight

    Still won't beat what we managed to do to a group of teenagers intent on causing trouble.

    Before we had our front door replaced with a PVC jobbie we had a wood framed door which had little/no protection against burglars. Since we didn't have anything worth stealing, it wasn't too much of a problem lol. Unfortunately if the back door was open, it had a strange ability to open slowly creaking loudly.

    I saw the group of trouble makers coming up the street. Ninja stylee we opened the back door and awaited for them to come up the path (all lights were off).

    Knock knock went the door, and crreeeaaakkk as it swung open. Being the little SOBs they are, they come inside giggling and working each other up. Scared the cr*p out of them when I jumped out of the cupboard screaming at them with the two scout axes covered in tomato ketchup...

    House still got egged though , but I got my laughs

    lol - depends what lager you were drinking. Most beers I'd be worried about the health of the rat _after_ drinking it.

    It'd be nice to go back to the days when beer was actually made of hops, malt, water and yeast... not a chemical cocktail like the 'probably the best lager in the world' variety.

    bleughhhhh

    Give me my homebrew or the german purity laws anyday!

    Haloween still plays second fiddle to bonfire night as far as I'm concerned. Sure it's fun for a little kids to mess around with witches hats and whatnot, but I don't see the need to adopt the trick or treating from across the pond.

    Playing with fire is MUCH better
