cleaning egg and toilet paper off every surface of her property.


Just shut the lights off if you're going to be an asshole on Halloween.

We never got gifts from "Santa."

But as far as that other lady, no idea.

I know my brother's crew would have dirt bombed, tp'd or soaped her house if they got something like that. Our neighborhood always made sure we had our screens out of our windows by Halloween because they are much harder to clean than windows.

I shudder to imagine what these little ghosts and spidermen will do to this poor woman.

.... since healthcare is rightfully becoming a shared societal cost, obesity is everyone's business. Your child's weight affects future healthcare costs for everyone. Just like smoking.

Don't they have a point?

Perhaps her heart is in the right place in wanting to get kids to adopt a healthier lifestyle and better eating habits...

However, this is f-in Holloween, you do this and you open yourself to TP, Egging and Flaming Shit Bags(yes, those burning plastic bags with dog or whatever feces they want to put in there(especially bad when in a farm town)).

If she doesn't want to participate, keep the porch lights closed.

It is Trick or Treat... No treat, you get a trick...
