420??Light off at 8:30 last night with 420 happy trick or treaters taken care of. Pretty average year, rain/ridiculous humidity didn't seem to keep anyone home.
Anyone else reflexively look at their keyboard?Text conversation reply "kk"
You are that friggin lazy to not tap the letter "O" that is right above the damn "K"????
I made sure to be on the earliest flight available home from work in Texas yesterday, but because of traffic, it was still almost 7 before I got home. @Kovi and my sister in law (who was dressed at the Evil Queen from Snow White - and was SERIOUSLY busting balls of the kids who half-assed their costumes) saw the bulk of the kids, but even in my abbreviated time, saw probably 150 kids and all tolled went through 8 or 9 big bags of candy, plus over 100 full bars. My brother and sister in law are HUGE into Halloween (It's also her birthday), but their neighborhood gets only a handful of kids, so I'm hoping them coming out to our place becomes a Halloween tradition. Also hoping they can help set up a haunted house in our garage,which they've done before.Trick or Treating. I moved the family a few years ago to a slightly different area but we don't get trick or treaters so last year and yesterday I go to a friend's house and hang-out with him, pretend I'm a decoration and scare kids. Douglas Park, Vancouver and it's crazy. Vancouver has a history of fireworks going and people spend thousands of dollars on them and they go all night. - however this area some houses do the whole t.v. thing of opening their houses and making them haunted (not my buddy's house as he decorates but just sits on the porch) and everywhere is decorated and all of that jazz. He bought 1000 pieces of candy, one a kid because it's costly with two of them handing them out, and ran out with hundreds of kids still walking by.
Just for anyone that grew up trick or treating and are kinda sad that it seems there's less kids wandering around now - it's a mob scene/festival of kids and parents in costume and explosions going off the whole time.

Tell Kovi me and my 3 buds worked my cousins haunted corn maze/woods down the street from where she lived - just got home. We got some serious scary stuff going. I put on a wolf man mask the other day at home and my dogs eyes got big and her hair looked like it was on edge - I’m not kidding it reminded me of Scooby Doo.I made sure to be on the earliest flight available home from work in Texas yesterday, but because of traffic, it was still almost 7 before I got home. @Kovi and my sister in law (who was dressed at the Evil Queen from Snow White - and was SERIOUSLY busting balls of the kids who half-assed their costumes) saw the bulk of the kids, but even in my abbreviated time, saw probably 150 kids and all tolled went through 8 or 9 big bags of candy, plus over 100 full bars.

hahaha I go apoplectic when someone responds 'k'
When my kids were little we always took them there to see Santa, because he was so realistic. When they were about 7 and 5 after seeing him we went to Johnny Rockets.
While we were eating Santa came in to use the restroom....he made eye contact with my son (the 5 year old)....he could see the excitement in his eyes and came over and sat down right next to him, stole a few of his french fries, patted them both on the head and wished them a Merry Christmas.

That’s the guy!That Santa was at Burlington for years and he was fantastic.
Jim Heichelbech, 78, has played St. Nick for 52 years, starting with dressing up for his own children. He's since volunteered at hospitals, nursing homes, and orphanages, and in recent years, has been sent to busy shopping centers around the country by his employer, the Colorado-based Noerr Programs Corp.
Heichelbech trains and recruits new Santas and is a member of the Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas, an international fraternity. A former vice president of sales and marketing at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Wisconsin and a native of Louisville, Ky., Heichelbech is affable, quick-witted, and speaks with a Southern lilt that occasionally throws people off. Apart from Christmas season, he and his wife, Marilyn, - who this year is Mrs. Claus at the Burlington Mall - live not on the North Pole but in a retirement community in Arcadia, Fla.
For Heichelbech one senses that being Santa is more than a job. "He's in character 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year," Marilyn Heichelbech says. And he's currently writing a book about his experiences.

Was able to get a mimosa in a to go cup to have a beverage on the sidewalk while waiting for our table at brunch. Sat down and asked for another mimosa - asked if I’d like a glass or a carafe.
God bless the south.
Not that I know of - he’s my cousin and and was with him a few days this week. (Huge Huge Bruins fan)Connors? (It was sold tho, no? but Bob still manages or something?)
The cops use to get called to rescue people in that corn maze.....it's huge. I bet you had fun though.
gotta be honest, I miss running to Connors for pies and small groceries.
