While she is excited about school she is a bit nervous about Halloween. Yesterday she asked "What if they don't like my costume? They will give me rocks. That's what happens when you trick or treat and they don't like your costume. Can I go home and change into my Dora one?"
Right now she is torn between being Cinderella and being a pirate.

"They will give me rocks."
She's been watching the Charlie Brown Halloween special.

LOL @ Charlie Brown's ghost sheet! How the Hell would you end up with 20 eye holes! LOL!
I remember last year Emma was upset cause she DIDNT get a rock. Sometime in the last year, without seeing the Halloween special or hearing talk about it, she figured out it is NOT a good thing to get. I guess her appreciation for real candy has grown.

Remember how I was good and only ate FOUR of my chocolate covered nutter butters? Well, Dave was here this morning, and I had to leave before he did... when I got home the box was open and there were only TWO cookies left in the little plastic tray. He better be bringing me another box!!!

True story, one year (I was probably around 21) I went Trick-or-Treating w/ my brother (he was 12-ish) and his friends. Anyway, one of my brother's friends dressed as Charlie Brown's ghost costume. It was very funny. Well we go to one house and all of us get full-sized Snickers bars and big bags of M&Ms and stuff and Richie (the Charlie Brown ghost) gets a Scooby-Doo scratch-off game from a cereal box or something that was already scratched and said "SORRY, You are not a winner."

Dana, you have no idea! If I get any sweets and leave them alone with him, they are gone when I return. I mean I have deliberately bought flavors of ice cream he doesn't like, because I actually like to have a little bit of ice cream and put the rest away for later... only Dave will eat it all before I can get back to it AND THEN have the nerve to complain that he really didn't like it!!!

IMHO, Journey is so gay that I actually prefer the Mariah Carey cover of Open Arms.

So I work out of two offices now, one on Long Island and one in the big city. First time I hit a bathroom stall in this Island office, something threw me as off kilter. I had to take a seat on the bowl to figure it out. Not only was it a cramped stall to begin with, but it had toilet paper hanging off ON BOTH SIDES. I had never seen that before in a bathroom stall. Usually its just the one roll anchored to a side wall, or a couple of them on the same side.

LOL! I was going to mention that. I thought those were just showing up on my own log-in, as an ad tailored to "my tastes" since I obviously have "Sheriff" in my name.

I heard somewhere (forget where) that all of the paranoia surrounding Halloween trick or treat candy being poisoned is unfounded.
Apparently since some time in the 70s deaths directly attributed to poisoned Halloween candy numbers in the single digits, and there have been two official ER reports of children biting into apples sabotaged with razor blades.

Back in the 80s when paranoia was running rampant about that and I was doing a "humor" column in the college newspaper, one of the bits I remember writing was how when Grandma cant find her sewing needle she can simply send the kids out trick or treating. You know, so they could find one in their candy. Sigh. Yes, I have always been this unfunny.

One Halloween maybe like 10 years ago I was dressed as Wolverine, with the claws and everything, and we went to this one house and two 18 or 19 year old girls, had to be lesbians(they were probably sisters but I like this way better) open the door in nothing but towels. Me and my friends caught totally off guard, grinning and rubbing our hands together mumbling to ourselves"nice", they tell us hold on they need to get clothes on and then we get candy. When they open the door we get nailed with shaving cream and eggs. We run vowing revenge calling them bitches and the big C(not cancer). We ran into one of my friends brothers, and he said the same thing happend to them as well as others on the block. We rounded together eveyone from our block, everyone equiped with a carton of eggs, silly string, shaving cream and toilet paper. At least 13 or 14 kids bombarded this house. it took 3 weeks for them to clean the house. They eventually moved.

Halloween was our favorite family holiday. We used to decorate the front yard with all kinds of cool gear. Our aim was to scare the shit out of kids. My mom would get a little upset because some of the kids would cry and she thought that the parents would get upset.
One year, my brother (The BadLt), had an exact replica costume of Freddy Krueger. We applied the latex mask to his face with spirit gum and it was perfect. He hid underneath a bench on the porch and we put a 20 watt light bulb in the porch light.
When kids would come up to get candy, I would open the door and shine a flashlight on "Freddy" hiding under the bench. One kid literally pissed in his pants. Another kid shoved his little sister toward "Freddy" and jumped off the porch.
It may sound racist, but black kids gave the best scared shitless performance.

Do they run? You know how black people always make fun of white people in horror movies, claiming that white people stick around and scream and ultimately fall victim to the killer, but a black person would be OUTTA there.

Black people can't say anything about how dumb white people are in horror movies. the black people always do drugs, always have sex in the movie and that's two rule breaking offenses there that will lead to the death of said black person. there are certain rules to survive a horror movie and black people never follow the rules.

100 years ago today, the "forward pass" was born....
On Sept. 5, 1906, Saint Louis University's Bradbury Robinson tossed a pigskin to teammate Jack Schneider. It was a remarkably creative play for the era, one that ultimately became known as the forward pass.
The game was scoreless. According to SLU archives, head coach Eddie Cochems was frustrated with the team's inability to move the ball. For weeks, they had been secretly practicing this new art of tossing the ball forward from a starting position behind the ear.
And so the football's first air attack began.
