I Got A Rock.

[Sigmund]

Hi! (It's Friday! Yay!)

Charlie Brown Halloween

I don't think I ever got a rock.


What's the weirdest thing you ever got for trick or treat?


(I have to share this reply:

I always trick-or-treated at the house of a guy who was a huge fan of Halloween. One year, he dressed up as the ugly hag version of the evil queen from Snow White and gave out apples. The next he dressed as an old man and handed out rocks.
Year after that he didn’t answer the door. Turned around to leave and suddenly he was chasing us through his yard with an old push lawnmower. That year I received terror. )

Have GREAT weekend!!!

Love your neighbor!

Let me think on this, or other strange Halloween happenings.

My mom sewed us nun costumes one year. Habits and all, crosses. We were about 8. Thinking back, she probably used us. My mom was cool that way.

The real nuns were not too happy when we went to the convent. (They were our teachers) Think we got blue berries.

Got an orange once, they ran out of apples, the oddest thing was a box of birthday candles, reckon they runned outta cupcakes...think I still got 'em in a box of kitchen junk, Mama had kept 'em in her buffet junk drawer.

Living in the suburbs of NYC, there was a small cottage house a few blocks down from my neighborhood. Tall scrubs all around and the cottage set back in an English garden with a stone path from the street. All the kids said a mean old witch lived there. We never saw her. On a dare I ventured forth on Trick or treat night. No common sense as a kid. Wouldn't call it strange, but she placed an apple in my bag and handed me a $5 bill. That was in the 1950's so a $5 bill was treasure. No, I didn't eat the apple!!!

Wows, I just got scared reading that Spidey.

You knew you were down to it, when they started tossing pennies here, out of candy.

That's a cool neighbor Sig! We've got a family in our neighborhood the loves to come up with new ways to scare the kids.


When I was a kid we had a local DJ in the neighborhood and one year he handed out 45s to everyone. I got Ebony Eyes.

Aw, I think she was being very sweet! It must be sad for an elderly lady to have a bad wrap as being a witch. But it might have been kind of fun for her too!

I hate to say it, but I don't remember a single weird thing I got for Halloween. Probably because if I did, I discarded it in favor of the sugar-laden loot.

That's horrible! Are you for real? I'd hunt down whoever gave that to my kid and pitch a little mommy fit.

I think it was Mr Throsby who lived down the street and he was a real crank. Used to have all the blinds drawn on his house 24/7. Same clothes on all the time.

 

[not_nadine]

How bout Mr. Neighbor who used to hide in his car on Mischief Night so we could not soap him? Eh, he got it, anyway.

I got a package of Pop Tarts once from some teenagers who were at a loss because they must not have had trick-or-treaters out their way.
Brown sugar cinnamon.

I can also remember when our neighbors, an older couple (probably my age, now that I think about it ) had to be out of town on Halloween. They left a bowl of candy on their front porch with a note that they weren't home and to please take a piece of candy. And everyone did. That's how we rolled back then.

The Anti-Halloween pamphlets handed out at preacher's houses and the homes of bible-belt squares. Always talking about the pagan history of the holiday, how it was against Goa--uhd! One about Jack and his lantern, can't remember.

Here I am in my custom painted Hocky mask and red-dripping machete, looking at this party-pooping propaganda. 'I can't eat those, man.'

Oh, Nottie!

That wasn't my neighbor. I got it from the Comments section from this article (WARNING! Language!)

What's The Weirdest Thing You've Gotten While Trick-Or-Treating

O gee. See this now.

I was having soo much fun picturing young Sigmund chased by a lawnmower.

 

[CoriSCapnSkip]

Never thought I'd have an occasion to actually use that line, but lo and behold! I am making a memorial area to my uncle in the yard and asked my cousin to send some rocks from the area where the family lived when he was conceived. The package arrived on my birthday, my mom asked what I got, and I said, "I got a rock." (Technically, it started out as three rocks, but one broke so by the time it arrived it was more like five or six.)

My son was 1 month old and I dressed him as The Pope.
