Bwahaha. That might be the best thing I've ever seen.

@Whoa @Burnt_Veggies @hmmwrites @Whoa I know, right? I'm kinda jealous that I didn't think of it when I was young. @Burnt_Veggies @hmmwrites @Whoa That sort of thing was tradition where I grew up in Scotland, you were expected to tell a joke or sing or something to get your reward. It was called 'Guising' there (short for disguising) @Burnt_Veggies That's awesome! Thanks for sharing (and for the alt text, which means I can share it). @JoBlakely They went all in, for sure. Reminds me of when I was a kid, my dad made costumes for my brother and I. One year he made us Miller Lite cans. Every house we went to we had to wait while they went to find their camera. 🤣 @Burnt_Veggies Halloween was major big in our family and we had an annual Halloween party and everyone dressed up. Old and young. It got so over the top. One cousin went as a massive snow globe of Canada with her inside the globe. It was amazing. We all pulled together some incredible costumes. @JoBlakely Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, too. My wife and I used to dress up and go downtown bar hopping on Halloween. We've been, Morticia and Gomez Addams, The Incredibles, Wayne and Garth, etc. @Burnt_Veggies @JoBlakely That's so cool. My birth month is January so too cold to do anything fun and everyone is broke from Christmas. 😂 @Burnt_Veggies no joke. That, right there, is pure genius. A favorite cartoonist (Henfil) once said humor is the inversion of expectation. They NAILED it, brilliantly, in circumstances that are so common and well established, that a healthy expression of humor is hard to achieve. 12/10, no notes. @Burnt_Veggies I've lived in this college town for 40 years and all the college kids here do is have keggers and make noise. How did you get clever fun college kids? @SordidAmok Ha. The original post is not mine. I found it on Facebook and the person that shared it on Facebook found it on Instagram. I have no idea who the original poster is or I'd give them credit. I was just passing it along. Too good not to share. @Burnt_Veggies My favourite Halloween prank is answering the door and telling the kids that they are supposed to give me a treat. After the subsequent protests from the visitors I handsomely reward those kids who offered me something from their cache of goodies. Give and you shall receive I say with a wink and a smile. @Burnt_Veggies in the days before YouTube Canadian group loadingreadyrun made a video of them going door to door singing Christmas carols in Halloween with sweaters and everything. @Burnt_Veggies in college we got snowed into our dorm one day. I went to take the elevator down to the first floor and I was presented with a full office. A desk and chair, an office plant, a lamp and posters on the wall. A student at the desk in a suit asked me to please sign my name, the floor I enetered from, and where I was going. Then he called his assistant by the controls to hit the first floor button. When we got there he asked me to please rate my trip and leave a comment. |
