Analog is "hard" SF, they would be quite insulted to be called scifi!

Hard, soft, crumbly with a chewy centre - I give up, what's the difference?

Ham, you are safe from the wee'uns begging for sweets at Bicknell Grange. They are transported by coach into my neighbourhood. Many of them. I usually attire in some outfit that goes with a contemporary kilt. I have a well used hockey goal tender's mask, and a chainsaw with the chain removed. I usually wait betwenn houses for the teenagers to show up with eggs or rotten fruit. A quick leap from the shadows with the engine on the chainsaw revving sends them running and the wee 'uns laughing at them.

I do similar. I sit in front of my house like a rag doll, not moving until one of said teenagers comes close, when I jump, scream and scare the poo out of them (Or in one case, the pee... I have actually made more than one teenager pee him or herself, as well me sister in law- which has actually become a game for my father and I )

Sorry, that was my fault for asking about the holster, and then as these things do it kind of slid down the slippery slope...

Although I grew up in Canada, I can't remember any adults getting involved in Halloween, except for a few parents with their children in tow. So when did all this adults getting costumed happen?

In the US, Its just another excuse to drink and get stupid. It is getting to the point that every holiday is just another day to sell booze.

So long as I get to wear a kilt while doing it, I have no problem with this progression.
