L'il Ty is way, way into Halloween this year, but oddly enough he seems to be disinterested in the candy-acquisition aspects of the holiday, and we expect to once again be able to jettison most of his candy over time with his noticing.

Query: I have Mounds and Almond Joy leftover in my freezer from last year. (I don't generally like either, and there was a massive rainstorm that pretty much killed trick or treating in my neighborhood last year, save for one brave, lone Wookie.)

Should I defrost and hand out to the kids this year or are they pretty much past their shelf life unless consumed frozen?

Although around the slothrop household, it's consumption for halloween.

Consumption in an economic sense, but not in a nutritional sense, except for the Reese's peanut butter cups, for which Ms. Slothrop has a taste. I don't have much a sweet tooth, which is why Penske can't get me to drink those fortified wines he's always going on about. Or rather, that's one of the reasons.

Sorry, Ty. In this context, the proper word is "uninterested." Disinterested is like a disinterested director -- one who does not have a financial stake. Uninterested means that he doesn't care.

Salty: I like. Sweet: not so much. Sour: Bring it on.

+1 for everything but the nuts in chocolate.

Merde. I will have to redo all of his SEC filings now.

when my son was 4, he was mostly into his costume. we went out and it started raining. he had a paper bag, a thick one, but still paper. we walked quite a bit.

after about an hour I realized that his bag had sprung a hole and he had been dropping all his candy at least the last few blocks. let me tell you, his attention got back to the candy-acquisiton aspects quite quickly.

Toss 'em both because you can't even trade to get something good with that coconut crap.

I will never look at a marshmallow the same again.

Just imagine what a second child would do to the experience.

I don't have sex in front of the first child. And that's not going to change with a second.

Now "sometimes you feel like a slut, sometimes you are one" has popped back into my head. I hung out with some clever types in highschool.

(this makes no sense if you had a different jingle for Mounds and Almond Joy than we did)

Watching you pass up on a burger in favor of foie gras with black truffles (or whatever delicacy makes sense to you) would mean just about as much.*

*And that's nothing.

Actually, you just explained why Less' argument in favor of my non-rice eating policy is damned near irrefutable. If it makes sense to eschew rice when you have the delicacy, and you have a delicacy all the time, why the fuck eat rice?

In grade school, I had a friend who got Ding-Dongs (and chips, and Kool-Aid) in his lunch every day. I thought he was one lucky bastard. He was a hyper skinny kid back then. Now, a huge fatty.

In HS, I dug the Hostess lemon pie when I was high.

I don't think Snowballs even had a mascot. Poor Snowballs.

I enjoy any vagina these days. Nobody told me that after you have a kid, the wife can't go right back on the pill. Now, a condom's a fine thing for a one night stand, where you come like a rock star because you're excited about the "strange" factor. But for relationship sex, I can't use a condom. Every girlfriend since freshman year of college has been on the pill. Wearing that rubber armor on my crank destroys the experience. So, though you might loath a sandy vagina right now, there will come a day where you'll take any friction - even sandpaper painful - over that damned latex.

Try lube inside the condom.
