Halloween

**Falcon Coupe** · 31-10-2006, 08:23 PM

Had to deal with the trick or treat kids tonight, do their families celebrate all American holidays, or just those that give handouts ? personally, i don't believe in it.

Sourbastard · 31-10-2006, 08:26 PM

should have told them you be round their place on the 4th of july shooting fireworks into their Prado.

BJ · 31-10-2006, 08:27 PM

They can piiss right off. I don't live in America do i.

Rob · 31-10-2006, 08:29 PM

Is tonight halloween?

Saw three younger kids (probably 8 to 10) on their own about half hour ago as I was going to the shop.. no adults anywhere.. they were going from house to house..
I can't believe that people can be so stupid to let their kids walk around on their own

Sad thing is it's getting bigger each year.

Steffo · 31-10-2006, 08:45 PM

Thank God we got no trick-or-treaters this year. Ugh...

Pinkbits · 31-10-2006, 09:03 PM

A large barking dog works well!.

ten[A]cio[U]s · 31-10-2006, 09:07 PM

8 trick or treaters tonight... We gave away all my mums lollies for her trip next week lol..

I dont know why kids celebrate these things but when i was younger i wished Australia went all out for it like USA. But now its just another day.

MITCHAY · 31-10-2006, 09:11 PM

None so far. I just tell them to ****** off!

Falcon Freak · 31-10-2006, 09:10 PM

So far no trick or treaters at my door. Lucky for them.

Matthew · 31-10-2006, 09:12 PM

Should have told them that if they came in you would show them some tricks, and give them a treat! ;)

Its just another commerial day, like valantines day, anniversaries, thanksgiving, Americans jump on every bandwagon.

SVT8 · 01-11-2006, 09:58 AM

had several mature kids come knocking on my door last night. I just said i have nothing for you? My mum was parnoid about the whole thing and the fact that people are at our door. So she disconnected the door bell...........lol

Sounds like it could have been a Trick and a Treat..

*Brain: "SHH!! Dont say that you'll get arrested!!"

BlueRaven · 31-10-2006, 09:13 PM

Thats interesting actually. I too thought it was an american tradition, which it kind of is, but it originated from Ireland where it is most popular. It comes from yet ANOTHER pagan tradition.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween

So I support it in that traditional sense....but no-one celebrates it for what its supposed to be.

goXF · 31-10-2006, 09:18 PM

Definately Not!!!

Hawk · 31-10-2006, 09:28 PM

Meh, doesn't interest me at all. Good on those who take it seriously, but I buy lollies for myself, not to give away!

ZA-289 · 31-10-2006, 09:30 PM

Nothing but little scabs running around trying to get free stuff!

protd · 31-10-2006, 09:38 PM

what a load of bullshit, keep there dribble over there.. lets just do our own thing and stop worrying about what the yankie doodles do..

iCat · 31-10-2006, 09:51 PM

what about getting our own tradition going: same principle, except people have to hand over performance car parts?

i can just see it now ......

**Silver Ghia** · 31-10-2006, 09:53 PM

Can't understand how parents let their kids go around begging.

We just switch off the door bell and pretend we're not home.

YuGoStaR · 31-10-2006, 10:17 PM

'I'm sorry kids all I have is some celery and dental floss'

pauljh74 · 31-10-2006, 10:26 PM

I work late, so I never see the buggers. They're more likely to play a trick around here anyway

Outbackjack · 31-10-2006, 10:35 PM

Halloween is HUGE in Alice Springs.... We set up out the front of the house, lanterns, pumkins, get together with the neigbours, drink Jimmy Boags and wine,send the kids off in their costumes to collect "candy". We gave away about $80 worth and the kids got about $20 worth in return. But what the hell. We all had fun.

I dont believe in it, but it is fun.

Sounds like you also have a scarce commodity up there too mate... a sense of COMMUNITY.
