Go big Halloween 2024

Halloween seemed lame this year. Many felt it. Kids felt it. I live in a destination neighborhood and we were down. Not even the rascal teens were out. Then I see the Rec center Como St. Paul PACKED. Trunk or treat. My god. What a horrific DESECRATION of Halloween. Just buy a bag and go home if that’s what you’re gonna do. Hell, order it from Amazon. Then you don’t have to do shit! Trunk or treat… 10 minutes of kids going to strangers cars while sit in your car playing bloonstd6. Sweet game but that’s lame. Probably the lamest. You run around your neighborhood, in the dark, on Halloween. You scream and yell and run through yards. Parents hand out candy. None of this help yourself bowl bullshit. Goddamnit it’s one night! The best night of the year for kids. On par with Christmas Eve…yeah… that’s right. And we’re ruining it!! Trunk or treat…meet a neighbor for once in your life. We know the names of all middle eastern leaders, who played spider man after Toby McGuire and the second string running back for the Titans but not the name of the guy who lives two doors down.

Now, You see a lot of memes out there ripping on younger generations being soft. Wearing helmets. Playing vids. Afraid of this or that. But you know what, we’re their parents. We’re the softies. They didn’t buy the bike helmet, and they sure as shit didn’t drive to the trunk or treat at Costco.

I’m doubling down next year. Full bars. Big bags. Real barbed wire.
