1- Last halloween costume?
About 18 years ago the owner of the Minnesota Twins was begging for the state to build him a new stadium. On the ballot twice, voted down each time. He still was begging (state eventually built it anyway). At work, I dressed in a suite and tie and had fake money sticking out of all the pockets. Whenever someone asked who I was, I’d start to answer, pretend sneeze, then ‘wipe’ my nose with a $100 bill, crumple it up and throw it over my shoulder. Then I’d hold out my hand palm up and say, “I’m Carl Pohlad. Build me a stadium”.

I hesitatingly turned around to answer him and he broke out laughing so hard he forgot to wait for my answer.

No. In my senior year of college, my student ID was 666. It was a Christian college and my friend was manning the badge maker. He asked if I wanted a new one and I said, “No. I’m not superstitious.” That was a great year, so there!

8- Do you believe in ghosts? Have you seen one?
NO AND NO

3- Favorite candy? Maybe those apple lollipops with the caramel inside.
4- Have you ever thrown an egg at someone or something? No.
5- Have you ever pulled a practical joke or prank or stunt on someone? Explain. Yeah but I suppose I’m not that good at them. When my son was little I pretended the plastic fly (that I secreted on my lip behind my cup at a restaurant) had been in my drink and pretended to spit it out. My son, then about four (and he has Asperger’s, so just be aware a lot of times those kiddos are super rule bound and sophisticated in behavior): “That’s just inappropriate.” That made me laugh way more than my own joke.
6- First halloween costume you remember wearing? A clown one made by my aunt, which was actually quit nicely done, and looked professional. I think I was about five.
7- Movie that actually scared you? I think it’s called Rainbow–it had voodoo stuff in it. I don’t believe in tat, of course, but somehow it managed to get to me. I pressed pause a lot.
8- Do you believe in ghosts? Have you seen one? Yes and yes.
9- Do you have any superstitions? Would you have major surgery on Friday the 13th? I suppose we all try to say we don’t have superstitions when we do have at least some–at least that would be my admission. I don’t really pay attention much to Friday the 13th, but I think surgery on that day I might draw the line. I know it’s silly, but there it is.
10- What do you usually hand out on Halloween? Nothing because I’m usually out with my son trick or treating. This year will be the first he doesn’t want to go (he says he is too old) and he is excited to pass out candy.
11- Have you ever been pranked or had a practical joke played on you? explain Hello, like all the time!!! My son is now 14, what does that tell you? LOL One of his faves is the one where he acts like he broke his nose and you hear this sickening crack. He loves to see the blood drain fro my face I guess! He’s also into magic so he’s really good at this sort of thing.
12- Weirdest thing you ever remember getting in your Halloween bag when you were a kid? Hmmm, I don’t think anything weird, really, just stuff my mom wouldn’t let me have, like unwrapped candy, any fruit (I think apples and oranges were all I ever got for fruit) and gobstoppers. She had a fear of them.
13- Least favorite candy? Hmmm, MaryJanes, which tbh I’ve never actually tried. But the packaging looks horrendous. Also gummy stuff and those triangle shaped things. Not related, but whipped cream is simply foul – and my sister taught my son to spray it directly into his mouth. Gah!!!

Hey Mr. Mxyzptlk! Welcome back…and it’s good to see that you’re doing well! (Congratulations!)
1- Last halloween costume you wore?
It was a zombie-themed costume party. I don’t really like zombie stuff (too morbid) so I went dressed as Don the Beachcomber, the man who invented the alcoholic beverage the ZOMBIE – and I showed up with a bottle full of Zombies in my hand.
2- Funniest halloween costume you ever saw?
Probably the “Cereal Killer”
3- Favorite candy?
Reese’s Pieces, or anything that’s dark chocolate, the darker the better…
4- Have you ever thrown an egg at someone or something?

5- Have you ever pulled a practical joke or prank or stunt on someone?
No pranks really. I like to spring things on my wife but it’s all romantic stuff.
6- First halloween costume you remember wearing?

Being trained in the sciences, I am entirely IMMUNE to superstition. Throughout time, superstition has been a very NEGATIVE force on humanity.

We just buy a couple of the big bags of the stuff that kids like… but I’m VERY generous with it. A handful to each kid…

A couple of years ago my wife and I started a new tradition of going to a Christmas party with friends, where they hold one of those White Elephant gift exchanges. Everyone but us knew that the BIG box under the tree had a truly horrible gag gift that just came back every year… so of course I got stuck with it. So the next year, my contribution to the gift pile was a small box, which contained only a note saying “Congratulations! your gift is that BIG box over in the corner!”

Wasn’t for Halloween. Years ago some goofy ppl tried to make the gospel “relevant” via theatrics.

Too long a story to tell in its entirety, but let’s just say it involved me and another veteran creating some fake revised orders sending a mutual friend (who was still in the Army) to Jungle Warfare School in Panama when his previous orders had him going to Fort Hood, TX, where he had already put a down payment on a house.

When we were kids we would spend summers at my grandmas farm and they had chickens. Well chickens sometimes find a new place to nest away from the coop.

We went to tell grandma about the treasure and when she told us they would be rotten since they sat in the heat for months we went back and started throwing them around in the hayloft.

I know it’s probably too late to be helpful, but just a word of caution to our new friends: Expect some of these louts to use your answers against you in the not-too-distant future. LOL!! 😉
(That’s why I never get taken in by Fur’s questionnaires.)
Lout
“an uncouth or aggressive man or boy.”
See, aggressive behavior from the womenz here is why most of us men are quite and passive. Yes we are afraid.
Last survey I filled out started a subscription to a dozen magazines.
I’m not falling for that trick again

BB — It was an apt word, though, right? 😉 That’s what first attracted me to IOTWReport — the louts. How some of you go after each other hammer and tong and manage to still express brotherly love is quite something. Instructive, really.

I’m a little shocked we all kissed and made up after the primaries. At the time I was thinking wow if FUR doesn’t play this right he’s gonna lose a bunch of people. More or less staying out of the scrum a presenting both sides was a great call.
I can honestly say, in high school in the early 80’s I went to my boss’ halloween party. Beins a poor sumbitch I had to come up with my own costume. So I went and got two burlap tater sacks, washed them in the clothes washer to soften them up, cut one end off, sewed them together and cut a neck hole. So, it was basically a knee length skirt.
Then I went black face.
I didn’t catch any shit for it either.
A local young farmer went as a red neck, dipshit brought a possum with him and was carrying it around by it’s tail. Got tired of carrying it so he put it in their washing machine for safe keeping.
Later somebody put the washer on spin cycle to see what would happen. The noise that came out of that machine was phucking monstrous. I left rather quickly after that.
BB — Presenting both sides? Yeah, technically. In an equal light? Nah, I won’t go there. 😉 Important part is everyone’s on the same side again. More or less.
1)Last Costume – rented a Gorilla costume, wore a tophat, grabbed more consensual titty than a breast doctor. (it was the early 80’s and I’ve reformed from being a pig)
7) TWO. One was Phantasm – holy shit! The other was The Omen with Gregory Peck.
Sooo late to this party – darn the busy weekends.
1- Last halloween costume you wore?
Can’t even remember it has been so many years.
2- Funniest halloween costume you ever saw?
A couple in boxes painted like dice. They had to take them off part way through the party – couldn’t eat, couldn’t dance.
3- Favorite candy? Oh, too many favorites! Payday and Snickers
4- Have you ever thrown an egg at someone or something? Yes
5- Have you ever pulled a practical joke or prank or stunt on someone? Explain. Don’t like them myself, but good friend pranked her husband for April Fools. Planned way ahead and started giving him a hard boiled egg in his lunch most days. Come April Fools, and of course, it wasn’t hard boiled. They worked together, so she was able to enjoy the show.
6- First halloween costume you remember wearing? Princess
7- Movie that actually scared you? Jaws, from then on, I avoided scary movies.
8- Do you believe in ghosts? Have you seen one? Not sure. No
9- Do you have any superstitions? Would you have major surgery on Friday the 13th? No and Yes
10- What do you usually hand out on Halloween? a bag full of good, small size candies. Don’t get many kids up my long driveway, so I make it worth their while.
11- Have you ever been pranked or had a practical joke played on you? explain Only good ones – surprised by my son one holiday. He lived hours and hours away and came to visit.
12- Weirdest thing you ever remember getting in your Halloween bag when you were a kid? a dime each year from the old lady across the street. After the first year, I knew this was actually a pretty good treat.
13- Least favorite candy? Anything with shredded coconut.
