So me and my friends went out last night to go trick-or-treating. We all agree we're never too old for candy...a couple of us are 20 (including myself), and there were one or two 18-year-olds and a 19-year-old. We decided to scrap our Matrix idea and just do a criminal-esque thing. I kept my trench coat open and had a dirty-looking shirt underneath with black, baggy pants and a black beanie/toboggin. We all kinda sorta looked like that, it was neat. Anyway, door-to-door, most people gave us mean looks, and almost every one of the people told us we were too old, but we'd get candy anyway. What the hell? This reminds me of the "you're not supposed to...." of religious zealots. Almost half of the people asked us if we were going to steal from little kids, and/or if the people didn't give us candy, we'd steal it instead. People are horrible. We just were trick-or-treaters like anyone else.

Oh well, I'll trick-or-treat, if I can, until I die. Free candy rules, especially plowing through the rich neighborhoods.

 

[Bent Hamm]

Have one of your friends pretend to be mentally handicapped and all of your problems will be over. Just make sure he/she has a really big bag.

 

[Ristamar]

Dude, you're too old... quit bogarting the little kids' treats and go buy some bags of candy at Wal-Mart, ya cheap bastard.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Yeah, my senior year in high school a bunch of us went trick or treating and got the same kind of responses a few times. Me and three of my friends went a few years later in college and got more of the same. There were some people who didn't care though.

Once you're out of college though, I think it would be a little strange to trick or treat. Besides, that's when society mandates that it's ok to get dressed up to go to a party and get blitzed.

Sounds like you dressed up as a NERD.
You're too old man. 15 is too old. 20 is ancient.
Halloween is for the kids.

Dumb

 

[shuri]

What kind of shitty costume is that? People were just thinking that you were a punk looking for free candies. Get an actual costume next year instead

 

[levious]

when I was a child giving out candy at my door, I never gave to teenagers... getting snubbed by a 7 year old for being far too old to go out trick or treating left an impression I hope.

Either that or they felt sorry for the 7 year old who had to stay home and hand out candy instead of out there getting it.

 

[levious]

I got all the best candy though. It's unbelievable what shit candy some people give out. Smarties? I never see these any other time of year.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Are there idiots out there who still give out apples? Nothing used to piss me off more than apples on halloween.

 

[Ristamar]

I don't think apples have been given out for years, since they aren't "safe" treats. Too easy to tamper with...

 

[Dan]

If you're old enough to have a job, you're definitely too old to be trick-or-treating. If you're out of high school, well Jesus, that's just pathetic.

There's people that give out dental floss and/or a sample tube of toothpaste, I think it won't get any worse than that.

Pamphlets for the Roman Catholic Church?
I fucking hate my neighborhood.

Ah yes, like that kid in Halloween II who goes the emergency room with the razor blade in his mouth. I remember that one halloween where all my candy had to pass my mother's inspection when I got home. The paranoia was at an all time high.

 

[White Man]

This thread makes me want to watch the Freaks and Geeks Halloween episode. Don't they get shit for being to old to trick or treat in that? They're like 14, too.

 

[Catalyst]

Some lady was giving out ice cream :lol. I've gotten an apple or two a few years ago.

Sounds like you dressed up as a NERD.

:lol I looked like a mugger, or some weirdo hockey player with my long hair hanging out the back of my toboggin.

Well when I realized I had no gel getting ready to pick my friends up, I realized I couldn't be Neo. I had the trench, the glasses, the pants, and the shoes. I was even going to clean shave. Gel just ruined the whole mother fucker. I had called my dad up and he suggested with what I had I could be a mugger. It was a good idea. He said I could have dropped by to pick up his brief case and I could have been someone else from the Matrix world...but neh, I didn't want to carry a pillow case full of candy AND something else.


Oh oh oh, some guy was giving out 20oz drinks. I got a Cherry Coke .


But what also sucked this year is that some of the religious zealots wanted to celebrate Halloween on Saturday because of the Sunday church thing. I'm a Christian and all (not the best well-practiced, but I am), and I only recognize Halloween as "Free Candy Day," not something evil, not All Hallow's Eve..or whatever. Anyway, because of that mess, a lot of people went Saturday, and a lot of people went last night. Some people kept their lights off because they've done celebrated it on Saturday...what a load of crap. Oh well. 'Twas fun anyway.

All in all, minus the assholes who were dicks (odd...), I give my Halloween a 8.5/10. Great fun with friends, and the dollar theater showing scary movies afterwards was a great thing. Memorable. Can't wait for next year.

 

[Fifty]

Can't wait for next year.

Hopefully you won't still be trick or treating at the age of 21.

 

[Escape Goat]

You are too old for trick or treating at that age. Thats pathetic.

 

[Catalyst]

Hopefully you won't still be trick or treating at the age of 21.

And what if I DO, b-unit?


Oh yeah...is my avatar showing up?

 

[Escape Goat]

Its showing up. But its also over the size limit.

 

[Minotauro]

What a sad, sad human being.

C'MON, PEOPLE, LET'S REJOICE IN INTOXICATING OUR BODIES!! YEEEHAAAAW!

.

 

[Dan]

Haha!

Best. Thread cross-reference. Ever!

 

[Catalyst]

.

Heh, yeah.

 

[Willco]

That is pretty pathetic. If you're over 16, you should be at parties, not trick-or-treating. My friends and I bought 200+ hot wings, five pounds of nachos, a shitload of beer and watched Dawn of the Dead, Evil Dead II and the Aqua Teen Hunger Force marathon hosted by Angus Scrumm. And all had so much fun that we were depressed this morning that it was over. Plus, some were hungover.

 

[Seth C]

You're old enough to have a JOB. Go earn some money and buy candy for yourself, or worst case scenario, take your sibling/cousin trick-or-treating and steal some of their candy. Keep the theft in the family.

It's sad that such a straight laced kid can't abide by the TOS

You're horrible. You didn't have a costume and people your age don't deserve free candy.

 

[Memles]

I haven't been trick or treating since I was 12. You people sicken me...or not.

I work for a firm that is owned by a certain videogame company, and I bet I make more than most of you at my age. I just like trick-or-treating. Is that a fucking problem? :lol :lol :lol

So anyway, let me get this straight, to register as a cool person, I have to party, get hungover, order pizza and wings, or whatever, and shit? :lol

Since when was I not allowed to do what the fuck I want? Dumbfuck liberals. :lol

LIBERALS? Uh, you'd think that conservatives would be the ones saying you shouldn't dress up and collect candy if you're a grown man. Liberals would be....ya know, more liberal about it.

Yeah, you're a loser.

No, you can sit at home and masturbate. Your costume, and it's a stretch to call it that, sounds retarded and you're TWENTY FUCKING YEARS OLD. Grow up, loser. Trick or treating is for little kids. There's nothing more annoying than old teenagers and adults trick-or-treating. I just refuse 'em candy. Fuck them.

Since when was I not allowed to do what the fuck I want?

Uh, since the beginning of time. It's called life.

Dumbfuck liberals. :lol

I think you mean conservatives. God, you're stupid.

[Escape Goat]

:lol that about wraps it up for Catalyst.

 

[mrmyth]

I love how the childish OP gets to call everyone else a dumbfuck. I especially love how his money-making ass proudly stole all that candy from six year olds.


Can't wait for his Easter egg hunt thread.

 

[levious]

or visits to santa's lap... you don't even have to dress up for that.

 

[Willco]

Can't wait for his Easter egg hunt thread.

 

[Willco]

I wonder if Catalyst has his birthday parties at DISCOVERY ZONE. Maybe CHUCK E. CHEESE'S! He is probably not replying because he went home early to play with his Tonka trucks and eat Cheese Doodles.

 

[Ill Saint]

This is almost as bad as his "Punk Pop" thread.

 

[Willco]

Hey Catalyst, is this your girlfriend?

 

[Escape Goat]

:lol

 

[dem]

oh shit!
:lol

 

[pnjtony]

It's obvious he doesn't know what liberal means

 

[SteveMeister]

Well, I think you're too old for it too, but whatever floats your boat

Next time you should dress up as Peter Pan -- he didn't want to grow up either

 

[theo]

too old
go find a girlfriend

 

[CajoleJuice]

:lol :lol Once I saw this thread was started by Catalyst, I knew it was going to get ugly.

 

[Fusebox]

Bwahahahaha!! For a rich, successful, drug-free guy you sure do get owned pretty bad Catalyst.

Hey... you're the guy that was insulting me in my "drunk thread" on Saturday!

You loser!!!

But yah, if you ever want to be in the cool-kids club, that's how you do it, man.

 

[=W=]

Am I the only that thinks that saddest part was that he was going to go as Neo?
