The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

[hafrogman]

I went with my sis when she took her kids trick or treating last night. She took them over to the rich area of town "because they have the best candy!". Only two of the three did, the third didn't want to dress up and then complained that she was bored..... :\

Apparently I live in that neighborhood. Not just the candy, but I expect the wide, well-lit streets have quite a bit to do with it too.

Yeah, no way in heck I'm gonna shell out $3000 for Halloween.

There weren't a lot of kids in the neigborhood. Only about 12 or so and there were the occasional stragglers that came by.

 

[Kida]

Yeesh, you'd think they would have known this was coming up . . . for at least 60 years.

You'd be surprised at the amount of people that are last minute buyers or forget up until a couple days before the vent.

You do realize though, that you'd have to get 600 kids to come to your door to give away that much cash?

Not to mention SIDEWALKS. And there were ALOT of kids in that area. It was a bit of a hassle driving down the street with all the other cars.... Gone are the days where parents park and then go with their kids. Alot of them were slowly following the kids as they went from house to house.

 

[Kida]

Good night hive. Time for me to close up the store.

We got the baby dressed up and my wife dressed up in costume too and then no one decided to show up. :\

I guess we don't live in a rich enough area.

You do realize that I DID have 600 kids come to my door, right?

Yeah, I can imagine sidewalks are a plus. We seemed to have a fair number of parents walking their kids, but the streets were lined with their parked cars.

There were plenty of those too. My sis's BF walked with the kids and stood at the front of the yard and watched as they walked up to the door.
