[geeks] Halloween

[Kevin]

Ditto,

It has been turned commercial for some time now but my little girl likes it, as do the rest of the
children in the neighborhood and i get a kick out of seeing them happy.  Bring on the trick or
treating.  Next year i'll actually have a house so i may go all out with the spooky house thing.  I
think i have more fun watching and playing with the kids than i did when i was a kid trick or
treating.

Now the part i don't like is some 20 year old schmuck walking around in some goofy outfit who wants
me to give him candy.  That's asinine.
