You ask me, Why am I going for Halloween as the United States Bill of Rights?

Because Obama has already tore me up.

I agree that it's a smart thing to do given the time of year, but they instituted this policy because the black cats were being intentionally killed. And they knew it was happening. You don't get numerous organizations to coordinate their efforts like they do here unless this risk is legit.

There are people who take the pets of others simply to bring out the worst in their fighting dogs. They adopt animals for the same purpose.

Lots of sick folks out there.

We will stay home, pass out candy. It is hard telling how many trick-or-treaters will come. It has fluctuated a good deal, with over 200 a couple years ago. The weather should be decent, so ... We bought 9 bags of candy, probably there will be 8 left by tomorrow night. Will await the arrival of the 2 1/2 year old granddaughter coming in her peacock costume. She's all in to Halloween this year, and fascinated by the leaves falling off the trees. Will probably have the TV on and switch between stuff on FOX news and the Cardinals winning the World Series.

Do you have extra beets? I would opt for the beets, myself.

The Tigers have as much chance of winning tonight as the Obamacare website has of being functional by Thanksgiving.

The Tigers have never won a World Series game in Fenway.

First, the Cards have to win Game 6.

Yesterday the Cardinals had to wait 7 hours on the tarmac before their plane left St. Louis. It goes without saying that it was George W. Bush's fault. Granted that he's an AL man, that was still pretty mean of him.

No they instituted the policy because they THOUGHT black cats were being killed. Nobody has ever found actual proof of this going on anywhere.

You get numerous groups doing the same thing because they think they same. Every vet and animal shelter in the country thinks this is happening, so every vet and animal shelter in the country refuses to adopt out black cats in October. You don’t need a legit risk, just shared fear. When I was a kid the urban legend of tampered candy became very popular, all kinds of organizations all over the country did all kinds of crazy things to protect kids from this terrible scourge including airport purse x-ray machines in malls for parents to run their kids candy through. And it was all based on nothing, there’ve been less than half a dozen cases of candy tampering in the whole country, but the fear was there. Until my generation grew up and realized it was all stupid. Unfortunately black cats don’t have the language or organizational skills to say “this is dumb, there’s no evidence of a threat, never has been”.

Okay, I think I’ve paid the price for my screwup. But bonus points for the dig at Obamacare. :)

We haven’t had kids either for years.

I’m thinking it might be the 20 minute drive, the 2 mile driveway, the 4 dogs that sit at the gate and the ornery old bull in the front lot but I haven’t really figured it out yet.

Shut out the lights. Lock the door. Maybe go to a movie. The last thing I am going to do is hand out candy. If I cant eat candy, no one eats candy.

And it is widespread. That’s why if you have a cop friend, seriously that investigates this stuff, if they’ll talk about it, they will confirm it.

There are cops on record discussing this activity and confirming that it increases around halloween.

Some people may like to prefer to believe it doesn’t happen and it’s a myth. It’s real, it happens, and the police know it does because they wind up seeing the animals with their guts sliced out.

It gets dark at about 6:00 PM right now, so I figure:

5:30 - fill candy bowl with KitKats (yum!)
6:00 - put on scary music 7:00 - start looking around for flashlights - where is everybody?
7:30 - unwrap first KitKat
8:00 - refill candy bowl which has unaccountably gone empty
9:00 - open a beer. They ain't coming
10:00 - wonder why bowl is empty
10:15 - wonder why KitKat sack is empty
10:30 - wonder why beer is empty

Pretty much same as last year.
