Three pictures (two combined) from this year's
Halloween:
Pretty good considering I was rushing to carve it. I waited until
Halloween to get a pumpkin. Litterally the on October 30 there were pumpkins, then on
Halloween they were gone. You'd think there would be some scragglers left behind for people who foolishly put it off. No, cut to two hours later and six stores later, I finally found
one place that had pumpkins.
I thought looting occured at six o'clock, so you can imagine how surprised I was rushing to decorate and carve a pumpkin 'cause I blew all my time driving around, when the first trick-or-treater showed up half an hour early.
I hadn't handed out candy or carved a pumpkin of well over ten years, maybe fifteen.
And that, ldies and gentlemen, is what a pumpkin looks like when you didn't pre-plan a face, didn't draw an outline, and had a big butcher knife feverously cutting it in and gutting it in ten minutes.
But I wasn't done...
I needed spooky tombstones. So, after some trash picking I came up with styrofoam pieces, gave them some quick black spray paint, then got a perminent black market.
It was fun handing out candy and scaring some kids. But
Halloween has changed since the last time I participated in it. Kids are more scared then before (some even skipped the house rather than be scared), more greedy and grabbing handfuls (even after I tell them to please not do that and save some for the other kids; I ran out of candy an hour before the end time), people are using their bright-ass phone lights to see where they were going (they're doing this shit on July 4 as well), and so many kids are simply not even bothering to say "Trick-or-treat!" (even the mute kid had a note with "trick-or-treat" on it).
