Trick or Treat
-
I see now, thanks very much. Happy Halloween to you. :-D Can you give me some examples, what kind of pranks do kids pull on people? Atlantys wrote: That's why I ramble so much.

That'll teach him to give out all his secrets.

Growing up in NorthEast US (i think it might be done elsewhere too), kids often went out the night before Halloween to play pranks, or really just be mean. We called it Mischief Night. We er.. some kids, would arm themselves with toilet paper, eggs, shaving cream, and other household items, Mom might not miss :suss: These kids then pick out select neighbors and throw eggs at their house or toilet paper in their bushes, maybe a little shaving cream smiley face on their car, etc. It was really pretty mean, and a big pain in the ass for those select neighbors, but hey, we *cough* they were kids. :-O BW "I'm coming with you!

Let me get one thing straight up-front: I do not automatically dislike all trick or treaters. There are a select few in my locality who ring on my door bell and make a real effort to dress up in costumes they've spent weeks creating at school and really get into the "spirit of Halloween". These people will be leaving my door tonight with hands full of lovely sweeties and pound coins. Unfortunately there are also many many 'kids' (and I use that term only in the legal sense) who try their luck each year when they damned well shouldn't be - not in this country anyway. They are the twelves and above groups and they go round all the old peoples bungalows in my street wearing their baggy jeans and hooded tops, and usually swear at them if they don't get candy and money - hardly the "spirit of Halloween" in my eyes. So because of these brats I need your help answering a small question: Does anyone know how quickly potassium poisoning takes? I have plenty of fertiliser left over from growing my potatoes, but I don't want the little buggers to start dropping down till after they have left my driveway. Also, does anyone know if it is illegal in this country to errect crosses on ones front lawn to hang the bastards off of when I run out of fertiliser? I will promise to let them down by the weekend. I need to make an example out of them should they be tempted to bring themselves round next year too. :~ What, you think I forgot to set my humour rating? :|

Do they allow Internet access in prison in the UK ? If not, I will miss you, Dave.

in Yorkshire we used to have mischievous night - which was on November the 4th - the night before bonfire night (the 5th) where we used to play pranks on those who did not cough up on the 31st.
