And you want to shoot a booner. Booners aren't for babies.

Yeah... lets give em free candy so they don't have to hang out at the candy store.
Sorry buds... by 15 or 16 they should be looking for a part time job or doing something to better themselves... not brushing up on their pan handling skills.

Seriously!!! You went out with your girlfriend Trick or Treating for Candy; and then posted it on this Forum? Do you really need a full bin of candy?
The night is for young Children to go out and have fun and to get some Candy. In turn, older people get to have fun by watching young Children who put on Costumes and remember what it was like at that age. It is supposed to be a fun night, not a night for 15+ year olds to go out and see how much free candy they can get.
Generally the friends and classmates decided when it wasn't cool to go out anymore. I think I was maybe 12 for my last year. When others start laughing at you for wanting to go out; it might be time to stop Trick or Treating.
When teenagers show up, I tell them that they are awfully big for 10 year olds. When they say: "no man, I'm 15" I tell them they should maybe think about growing up instead of doing the same stuff as 3 year olds.
Are you going to come on AO at Christams and show us what Santa brought you?

I don't have any kids at home they are all gone. Every year we decorate the yard and buy sealed candy for the little ones. We just enjoy those little guys, we get a good laugh at some of them.

Wow, lots of Halloween police out today. One thread bragging about how many showed up at their door, the other bashing a kid for being too old. Who cares!! If you don't agree with it, don't give that age group any candy, sounds like he was having a good time with the gf?

Maybe we can read the same great story next year. And the year after that.
He posted it on here to show how proud he was for all the Candy he collected that is obviously meant for much younger Children. When you can drive a car from neighbourhood to neighbourhood to go Trick or Treating it might be time to grow up.

I dressed up  .
We do a "Fall Family Festival" for kids at the church. Lots of fun and games and activities for kids and they get a bag full of treats too.
Several parents appreciated the fact there was a place where their kids could be safe and warm and having fun inside, and the parents could enjoy refreshments too.
I did notice there weren't many kids going door-to-door in the neighbourhood though, maybe too cold and too snowy.

Wrong comparison....pretty funny though
Here is mine...
Darn candy owners and candy bowl leasers don't have the right to tell me anything more that yes or no. I should be allowed to eat any candy that is there for public consumption. I should be allowed to eat as much candy as I want I'm only asking permission for access to the candy bowl and the owner/leaseholder shouldn't think he can place conditions on my legal sugar snackin!.
And the retort...
Well since so many chunky monkeys here seem to be feeing a bit entitled and since I am a candy owner and candy bowl leaser heres what I think I'll do.
You can have free access to that leased bowl which by the way...is empty.
As for the candy bowl that I own... take your sweet tooth to the mall or buy your own candy bowl because I got no sugar for you pumpkin.

If my 14 yr old son had been out getting candy, I would have been unimpressed. But he was at his Bantam AAA hockey practice. He had a 6 point weekend in Medicine Hat & Lethbridge last weekend and leads his team in points, and got a mention in the Western Elite Hockey Prospects blog.
That is what I call 'doing well' for a teenage boy. But, I'm biased.

Security camera system, internet posting of vandalism footage, advantage homeowner.
This thread reminds me of the many self incriminating things people have posted on here, YouTube or Facebook thinking it's hilarious, only to have it backfire on them. We had guys shooting ducks from a car with a semi auto .22 on YouTube, poachers with photos of themselves with illegally taken game, a guy busted red handed claiming to have caught a fish where the time stamp in the photo he pulled from Google proved otherwise. This obviously isn't criminal like the first examples, but is a good example of thinking twice, or even thinking once.
I felt I was at the limit when I was 13, so made that night my last outing.

If they come to my door and don't say "trick or treat" I ask politely that they say it. We only got a few kids this year and always shut 'er down by 8:30 or so. The last where a couple of sweet little girls with Dad in tow, both dressed as witches knock on my door. They sang a cute Halloween song when I opened the door, the wife and I where so charmed that we dumped most of the candy and chips we had left and filled their pillow cases. They skipped away after a wonderful excited chorus of thank you's. Something sadly missing from a lot of the visitors that evening. It was nice seeing children with etiquette and pleasant manners.
These childhood lessons go far in life, much past a Halloween greeting on a strangers doorstep. I tip my hat to that family.

In another thread he states he is not old enough to drive yet.
He is still young and no one knows his age, likely 15 max.
