And how nice of you to offer the chaperone a shot of the good stuff! I never thought of that, and over here in the US you would probably get sued or something, but it's a nice gesture!

Oh, and Happy Halloween. My youngest daughter's first trick or treat is tonight as well.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, in the hallowed environs of Knutsford Cheshire, it is a bit of a tradition to have a bottle of the 'good stuff' lurking by the front door next to the big bowl of sweets. As a lot of the chaperones are neighbours or friends, it seems churlish not to share nature's bounty with them. The trouble is that some of the dad's have a tendency to come back sloshed after doing the rounds.

The saddest sight was my neighbour having to be half carried home by his two little girls he was in such a state. First time I have seen an adult propped up by a 4'3" vampire and a 3'5" devil

Fyron:

A Protoss for Halloween? *That* would be a pretty cool costume. Unfortunately, only about 0.01% of the populace would have even a chance at understanding it...

In the meantime, go listen to some good Halloween music:

I found this list of a bunch of animated Halloween sites and different jokes. It's pretty cool.

Edited for good manners...

Re: Happy Samhain /Halloween!
 

"Protoss"? Are we talking about Starcraft? Or something else?

Re: Happy Samhain /Halloween!
 

Just had bizzare experience Last night. Some kids came to my door dressed as monsters and asked for treats. Hadn't realised it was Halloween and didn't have anything to give them - bit embarassing really. First time I have ever had someone come to my door - the grasp of American culture grows stronger! Where does all this Halloween stuff originate from - I always thought it was just an American thing?

Re: Happy Samhain /Halloween!
 

NVM, I take that back...
