I'm Candy Corn. I Taste Like Death.

I'm not big on the whole Halloween thing but for the first time in years, I'm home, I have good candy, and I have a porch light that will actually stay on. Usually right about now I'm sitting in the massive traffic that ensues on Halloween when it falls on a work day so I only get about 1 or 2 trick or treaters. I tend to buy the cheap, crappy candy and give out massive handfuls to who ever shows up. This year I bought the good stuff and I've already hit the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. This is why I buy the cheap, crappy stuff.

So, was anyone else squicked out by rapping Charlie Brown? Usually I love to watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" but that kind of killed it for me. Didn't even DVR it.

NaBloPoMo starts tomorrow. Yeah, I'm going to give it a shot. I need some prompts though so if you got some, toss them my way.

My neighborhood growing up was the perfect suburban trick or treat spot so I always loved it. My parents still live there and seem amused by it, but I know they have some years gotten ~300 kids.

The Charlie Brown specials were never really my thing, but I'm =glad I have no idea what this rapping Charlie Brown thing is. :)

~300 kids? Holy crap! I got maybe 25 tonight and was hoping for more but not that many more.

The Great Pumpkin and A Charlie Brown Christmas were part of my childhood so I have to watch them. This whole rapping thing (it was in the commercial)is crap. It's not kids who are watching. It's the parents and dare I say it, grandparents, who are watching.

YAY for being home for Halloween.
Did you get some good treaters?

I love the Charlie Brown Specials!
And yeah I saw the rapping thing and changed the channel after half a second. *shivers*

A favorite childhood memory.

I had candy for probably 50 trick or treaters. I got maybe 30. I was definitely expecting more and now I'll be taking candy into work. I'm sure they'll love me on a sugar high.

If they do that rapping thing to A Charlie Brown Christmas, someone will get punched in the face.

30 out of 50 is not bad.

Too luck with your crazy work schedule.

It really upset me. I love Charlie Brown.
