Cut up a load of vegetables into nice shapes like stars or moons. Cover them in chocolate and hand them out as sweets .... They wont come back for more.

Wonder where you got that from? :rolleyes:

Anyway, not many people would be bothered to go to all that trouble just to play a prank on the children.

I for one just throw nuts into their bags! The trick is to not let them see what you have given them, but say "open your bags" and then throw a load of stuff into them!

Take the battery out of the doorbell, that way you wont feel guilty when a group of them tries ringing the bell!

Actually - it's called a Rottweiler Dog, & was originally used by the Romans as a weapon of war & if you get them big enough & heavy enough they can really do alot of damage to small children.....problem solved!!!

You know, one thing I've never been able to understand about this whole "Trick or Treat" malarky is the fact that, when growing up, parents are constantly warning their kids to never take sweets from strangers. Yet, one day a year, they think nothing of letting their kids roam around the place, usually on their own, going from house to house happily accepting sweets from, in many cases, complete strangers.

Double standards, anyone?

Actually now you raise that point it is rather sinister when you view it like that! Parents take note!!!!!

possibly because years and years ago, before we lived in this evil world full of rapists, murders, terrorists and muslims people were able to feel that they lived in a community, they respected their neighbours and weren't fed tales of horror by the media every minute of every day to keep them nice and afraid?

or maybe parents secretly want their children to be killed.

Mighty big brush you're tarring with there Mordeth... not all muslims are suicide bombers, head cutters or terrorists. Irish people in general do not like to be tarred with the same Brush as the IRA because they say 'they're irish' [not getting into a debate about this one folks, as it is off topic]. Just like every social/religious/ethnic group on the planet there are good & bad elements & bad news always gets around & more press than good news, cos it sells units!!! Not to mention the fact that bigotry is pretty ignorant & appeals to the lowest of the low in society!

it is a basic rule here: if your light is on you are handing out candy, if it is off you are not.

I went to a house once when I was younger and his front light wasnt on but his side door light was, so I knocked, the poor old man didnt realize it was Halloween and went inside and got a role of dimes and handed me and my friends some of them. It touches my heart to think about it now.

I never forgot that...I love old people so much

This can be solved very simply

1 get some old clothes tie together and stuff with newspaper

2 then get a bag fill with paper and fix to body

3 tie a rope around the neck

4 leave body near a top floor window

5 when the feckers come shout at them if they dont leave you alone you will hang yourself

6 run up stairs and throw the body out the window dont forget to hold the rope

7 sit back and hear them scream in terror

No, Mordeth was right originally, just dress up in a white dish dash and hold a Quran in your hand while answering the door and people will think you're muslim and run off.

Capt'n Midnight · 22-10-2004 09:30PM

Do you have a sprinkler on your hose ?

Just leave it running so they'll get wet if they try to rig the bell.

mike65 · 22-10-2004 10:51PM

May I sugest a little preparation - this weekend when down the shops buying your milk and papers just let it drop out that you heard reports about a man seen acting supsiously inside the grounds of the school and that the Gardai had been called....then let the bush telegraph do the rest!

Mike.

Why don't you just get involved. when they say trick or treat ask for trick. when they sing sit down and get them to finish song. spend 20 yo yo on sweets. it only lasts two hours or so. relax- remember the background. talk about witches and ghouls and think of your soul. :cool:

Raskolnikov · 22-10-2004 11:33PM

I've got a great idea.

How about you go down to the shops, try your local Lidl or Aldi presuming that you'll want to be making some savings. Purchase however much junk you think the kiddies need, €10 should be more than enough to cover you. Come home, chuck the lot into a pot of some sort and watch the telly until night time. When the kiddies come a knocking, give them a few poxy sweets. No house getting egged, no hassle likely to follow.

The dressing up as Michael Jackson idea could work too.

'Cham-on kidday's, ya'll gonna get nekkid with MJ! That's rite!'

CyberGhost · 22-10-2004 11:36PM

I hate this stupid stupid holiday! can't we just complain to someone to cancel it?

I say, dress up as Michael Jackson. When you open the door and offer them "milk and cookies" they'll go running and won't come back.

lol!

I have to invite michael to my house! he'll treat them with a nice surprize

mp3guy · 26-10-2004 10:55PM

Put up a sign which reads:

"This house is guarded by a shotgun 3 nights a week, want to guess which 3?"

Hobbes · 26-10-2004 11:07PM

Easy trick. Get a trick or treat bucket. Leave it outside the door with a sign saying "Please take one or two and leave some for others". Make sure not to put any sweets in it.

Or you could get some of these printed out and put them in their bags. Guaranteed to get rid of them the following year.

Miss Mann · 27-10-2004 04:22AM

Just give 'em some sweets, ya tight b!tch.

No-one likes a Scrooge.

I can understand people not wanting to be part of the Halloween spirit, but for the majority of us, Halloween used to be a magical time (well more loud than magical) and you probably all enjoyed going for house to house getting free food. Todays generation are much the same, except their armed with eggs and fireworks that fit in your letterbox!

I cant believe that everyone on here is so against trick or treaters when you all most likely took part in it yourself when you were all young!

Just kidding.. actually we have a whole draw full of sweets.. the good stuff too. The kids enjoy themselves when they show up.

Maximilian · 27-10-2004 09:51AM

One could invite the local parish priest around and have him stand behind your front door with his cock hanging out through the letterbox. Almost always works.

Mossy Monk · 27-10-2004 09:54AM

this Sunday i plan on sitting in watching tv at a fairly loud level with some cans. no hungry children will upset my evening

alternatively, let someone else answer the door

Hear Hear get in the spirit of it.

I don't have to worry about people calling to my house as I will be going around myself! Last year I made €15 and got a bag full of goodies

If you really want to avoid kids calling best thing is to head out to the pub for a few pints...or the Michael Jackson and milk and cookies idea.
