Crossing all the streams:

- Lots of people paying homage to Bob Knight refer to him as "Bobby" which, IIRC, he hated...maybe they are taking a veiled shot at a serial abuser while maintaining the appearance of being respectful.

- Picked up the Smoke Wagon Malted Barley Rye at Costco. It's real good, but probably overpriced.

- Home ownership is...something. I've developed an obsession with a glass shower + hard water staining.

- We got a total of 3 trick-or-treating parties. More candy for us!

one solution is to squeegee the glass after each use
another is to use easy off fume free oven cleaner

^^ for a one time use...a hammer.

If he hated being called Bobby, he thoroughly lost that battle forever ago. Feels like he’s been called that over Bob by at least a 3:1 margin for as long as I’ve been aware of his existence.

Zero trick-or-treaters last night.

I don’t know if that is a referendum on me, or?

I hope I’m not the cranky old man all the kids are afraid of. Their loss. I give out full size treats.

Funny thing, I wasn’t even home. They could have taken the whole bowl I left out.

First year I've ever been able to count them, I had 21. 36 candy bars-13 leftovers-1 I ate-1 little bastard took two=21 Trick or treaters. Our neighborhood blocks off an entire street 2 blocks over for party time, so I imagine that cuts down on them quite a bit for me.

I can't even remember the last trick-or-treater here that wasn't a little kid of a relative who drove them over. Maybe 30 years ago??? We quit buying a bunch of candy a couple of years after our last trick-or-treater, but my wife would buy some just-in-case candy that she knew we would eat if no kids showed up. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

I don't miss them at all.

This was the 6th Halloween we've had in this house. First year for any trick-or-treaters. Three sets. Luckily we had some individually wrapped Ghirardelli chocolates in the house.

Congratulations to mark and any other Rangers' fans.

Had a few trick-or-treaters. Just barely got into the second bag of candy bars. Brought the remainder to the bar last night, I imagine they'll get eaten there.

I remember this odd in-between moment in life when I decided that I was too old for trick-or-treating - I think it was 6th grade - and since me and my parents lived in the sticks where trick-or-treaters wouldn't bother coming by, I volunteered to my oldest brother that I could stand watch at his house and give out candy while they took their kid out.

It was awkward when it felt like 75% of my own class came to my brother's house as I came to the door to dole out candy, invariably being left to answer them as to why I wasn't still doing it. I guess I overshot the "I'm too grown up now" by at least a year? But I would have still felt a little stupid about doing it at that point, so whatever.

The number of trick-or-treaters I've had come to my door for my entire life remains at zero.

Is that why you threw.....


bobby under the bus? sad


RIP Mr Knight

Never thought I'd see the day when oot mods start locking threads about bacon

I can't let zero-effort OP's start bacon threads bro.

They didn’t even say, “what’s the deal?”

27 trimming the fat like a responsible mod. Kudzus!

is that you red?

I just love when a thread title tells you exactly what to expect from the thread

unfortunately, no
but there is a kid in there with the same name as a sibling
and i sometimes frantically wave my hands when excited

of course
embrace the multiplicity of your sentences as if they were intended
thread archaeologist robots won't know the difference next year unless we tell them
