My daughter-in-law's ancient pug dressed up for Halloween. Poor old bloke.

To me, Pugs often have the appearance of just shitting bricks. I dunno.

I wonder how many on the forum still "participate" in Halloween...maybe a lot of kids in your neighborhood or you have young children.

No kids in our family, but we bought a bag of 150 “treats.” We have over 100 left over. Snacks for the theater!

I'm going to guess and say we had about 60 kids show up on our doorstep.

Way out
Way out of here
Fade out
Fade out, vanish

Well you know, listening to PT-FOABP. Never knew the story behind the song before.
No I'm not planning on checking out soon.

I saw a 98 inch TCL tv at Costco for $1849.99

This morning my youngest grandson was still in character. Lol

Here are the details about that TV

H.A.L. Perhaps you should have dressed up as the 2001 Monolith for Halloween...and let nature taken its course when the kids showed up at your house and ran away in terror.

Doubt it -- that was a movie only their grandparents had seen. Damn, I'm old.

I usually have the TV on as background when I'm on the computer...so I turned it on today and a movie was on that I hadn't seen for decades...ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN...what a great movie....hard to believe it was 1976...if you haven't seen it...you should check it out...

I don't know if there is an existing thread...but maybe someone could create one for upcoming BLACK FRIDAY deals

Not a single kid ever.... dead-end dirt road / too far in the sticks

wow!

 

[inspclouseau]

wow!

yeah..that is a bummer. We go with our kids and grandbabies into town every year. They do a great job for the kids down 'main street'. Close up a good section of it.

totally worth it. I wouldn't care if I ever saw another trick-or-treater in my life for that view.

Last night was my first (it's not really a thing in Oz, or England when I was young) and my partner was at work. She gave me instructions on etiquette and a big bowl of candy bars for them to pick from. Over two hours, I had 31 kids from 12 visits. I asked each group what "tricks" they were offering if I didn't choose the "treats" option - amazing how many (about 80%) hadn't reflected on that question ("We don't have any", "Er....", "No, my tricks suck...").

But of those who said they had tricks: Next door neighbour's girl said she'd kidnap our Frankie (ginger cat); one girl did a cartwheel (not sure if that counts; I thought the idea was to threaten me, or the property, in some way); one guy would "steal the treats" as his trick; and a 14-year-old boy dressed up in a business suit (which was immediately a threat to me per se), claimed he was "Trump" (but had no red wig).

Anyhow, they all got their treats, I got a giggle from the whole thing, and we have some candy bars left over for ourselves.

Welcome to Canada, eh.

I should have mentioned this. Right after dark, we had a group of about 10 young teens show up. They were very outgoing, and to be honest, very good natured kids. Once they all grabbed a bag of candy....they all ran backwards to the middle of our yard, and lined up in some sort of unified line and sang out "thank you very much Mr and Mrs Moore.....Happy Halloween"

I have to say, it was very cute and pretty cool. Good kids.

Just as well they were happy ... they not only know where you live, but your name as well.

Is it pug abuse?

 

[H.A.L.]

DRAGON FLY's stereo works, but the quad is veerrryyy slowwwww.

SOLVED!!!

Not a setting issue. Turns out my eARC HDMI cable wasn't high-speed like the others.

D'oh.

Cable changed for an 8K -- and now I'm delighted in hearing Marty in quad, soaring on "Caroline."
