I just heard this on the radio. Some guy was out with his little girl while she went trick or treating. She ran up to him saying that the lady didn't give her any candy. The man went to the door and the lady said she did. The child then said "Well, she didn't give me much". The man demanded that the woman give his kid more. She refused, so he threw her bird bath through the picture window. I'd say that guy needs some Ritalin or somethin'.
There's Road Rage and Computer Rage and now we've got Holiday Rage. I guess next some guy will be gunnin' for poor Santa.

Chased after some "trick or treat" boys who had thrown eggs at his house and suffered a heart attack. Very sad story.

What is the matter with people?! Ai yah!
I'm just happy that I'm not the sample-person at the store!
You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

You know of course, this is going to make it so much less fun for the rest of the kids out there, because of a few rotten apples.
Jeeze, everyone just needs to lighten up a little. Or a lot, as the case may be.
At least we can take our holiday rages out on the Turkey, heheheh. It's getting eaten anyways.
It's not the wolf you see you should fear, but all the ones he howls with. Don't be afraid of the song, but don't piss off the choir.

Isn't it amazing how people with little generosity or goodwill have come to expect (or demand) it from others?
Think good thoughts,

Because I *chose* not to give out candy this year, a guy that's been hassling me all year, showed up with his 4 year old boy and knocked on the door. Since the outside light wasn't on, this is the code here in Canada, not to come to the door. Well, in front of his child, he knocks on the door...calls me assorted names and soaps and eggs my windows! Luckily the police were patrolling the neighbourhood and he was duly arrested for disturbing the peace, destruction of property. His child is staying with his grandmother, which the police feel is a much better environment anyway.
Halloween Rage indeed!!!

Ignoring the fact that its origins are not exactly jolly, and that it is a genuinely terror filled time for some people, and historically created fear, I find the celebration of halloween "odd".
Not the pagan nature, but the mode of celebration.
"Trick or Treat": When did that start? Where? And why?
In the UK we "feel" that the US kids are somehow benign. Did "ET" do that for us, or are US Kids in party mood when they knock on the door?
Here many of the kids are into "demanding money with menaces" rather than playing a game. It feels like a serious protection racket when they come to the door. And I live in an allegedly good area. Old people (oh wonderful, leyt's revere their opinions because they're old) declare they are afraid of answering the door. Is that the same elsewhere, too?
When someone says "Trick or Treat", may I yell "Trick!" and throw a bucket of cold water over them? And, if not, why not?

i'm not sure where it all came from -- the trick or treat angle, i mean -- but i know as the years go by, it seems to be less about going out and having fun. i live in a pretty good neighborhood myself, and this year i took shiloh to the mall to trick or treat amongst the merchants there. it's just not safe. either no one's having their porch-lights on and doors open (probably out of apprehension for this next part), or you have teenaged kids, who are pretty much too old to be trick or treating (i'm talking late teens here--15 is the last year i went, i admit), going out and harrassing, scaring, bullying younger kids to steal their candy. or, they vandalise property and houses, cars and mailboxes and children's outdoor toys, you name it. sure, when i used to trick or treat you'd find the occasional smashed pumpkin, or a group of people toilet-papered a teacher's house or something, but now? it's crazy.
and i'm not even THAT old, and yet something huge has changed in the span of about five years. this used to be a prime trick or treat neighborhood, norton shores. now you're lucky to have a block with three houses "open".

I let 'Gremlins' run on my DVD-player (AKA PS2  ) a while back while I was doing my exercises, and towards the end the old bearded Chinese guy comes to take the Mogwai back. He says:
"You let him watch...television?! Ai yah...!"
Seeing you use it made me start thinking.
And smith, as for gunning for Santa, we have that Texan guy who gunned down a Japanese exchange student asking directions a buncha years ago... People are weird, and getting weirder every year it seems.

Hey.
"Ai Yah" is a Chinese expression of dismay.
You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me
