Great program and great thoughts. I started buying whistles, combs, toys, by the gross from Cromers — the kids loved getting noisemakers, but my neighbors cussed me out for weeks! Kids should enjoy fun times.

Wait til some brat chokes to death on one of your 10 cent whistles and see how long it take Joe McColough or Shaheen to serve you. Wrongful death is such an ugly term.

A good friend sent me a funny pic the other day (wish I had the technical skill to post it here). It was a bucket full of condiments such as packs of ketchup, mustard, sauce, mayo, etc. The caption said something about, “Now I know what to give the trick-or-treaters for Halloween”.

It was kind of a meanness joke. The implication was that this person had saved all those little condiment packages all year and they were going to hand them out instead of candy to trick-or-treaters.

Haw-haw!! Now I know what to do with the ones in my fridge. Once I thought about marking the dates on them because I really hate to throw anything away. A few days ago I bought an Arby’s Roast Beef at the drive-thru and asked for an extra Horsey Sauce. When I opened it at home the girl had put six packets each of the Horsey and Arby’s Sauces in the bag!

We have more Polynesian sauces from Chick-fa-la than we will ever use.

The Colonel October 28, 2014 at 10:48 pm

These guys are talking about “horsey sauce” but I’m with you Polynesian sauce is da bomb – I don’t think you can have to much. On the fries, on the sandwich, in the marinade I use on pork….

CorruptionInColumbia October 28, 2014 at 10:31 pm

Hang on to the Horsey Sauce packs, man. That is good stuff. Used to be hard to get them to give you those. I used to request Horsey Sauce with my roast beef sandwiches and invariably, I would get home and find none in the bag. One day I pulled up at the drive thru speaker in my home town and asked a question of the ladies inside. I asked if the Horsey Sauce had gold or cocaine as a content. They laughed and said “No”, then asked why I wanted to know. I explained that every Arby’s I went to, I requested a packet and the last six times, they had neglected to give me any. Never had any trouble getting it after that.

shifty henry October 28, 2014 at 10:39 pm

You’re right on it because (maybe 2 years ago) I had the same experiences. There must have been a national shortage of Horsey Sauce (which is great on a variety of foods).

Thanks for bringing attention to this. It’s a great campaign. My child has a severe peanut allergy. You are so right about bday parties, restaurants, holidays, etc. It’s a daily feat to keep him safe. I will be offering peanut-free and non-food treats this Halloween.

My kids want some damn peanuts in their chocolate. If you have a food allergy best to re-think the plan to go around begging with a pillow case. Pretty soon people will be giving out packets of flax seed. How did all of the sudden half the kids in the US have food allergies. It isn’t like we had all these unsolved deaths back in the 70’s and 80’s. Kids, just falling out on the cafeteria floor during school from eating some gluten. I remember it now, the ambulances just lined up everywhere to take these kids away.

How hard is it to throw some toys in with the candy? Geez. Try watching your kid sit by himself every day at lunch or having a different treat for the 23 other birthdays in the class. Yes, my kid can die from it. Had two epi-pen shots and trips to the emergency room because others didn’t take it seriously. It’s not a choice for us. It’s life or death. It’s also a polite thing to do for kids that have diabetes, etc. Yes, there are kids with medical conditions beyond our control.

Snicker Bar October 29, 2014 at 4:52 pm

That is real. The point was that so many people have piled on the multitude of allergies that it actually calcifies attitudes towards the very real and dangerous ones. Watching a child suffer is extremely difficult and Liz makes a good point. Just trying to lighten the mood a bit.

Reply

Agreed. The newest trend of avoiding gluten without doctor’s advice is annoying.

Too many specialists October 29, 2014 at 8:42 am

My daughter, at the urging of my nosey mother-in-law, began seeing an allergist at age 10. Every month I would take her to get a shot that she badly dreaded. The allergist, who is quite busy and has 7 doctors under his roof, told me that she would out-grow most of the allergies. When I asked how long it would take he replied “oh, usually around age 18”. I pointed out that this was very convenient since she would be heading off to college and I seriously doubted that she would haul her little ass back to the upstate once a month for a shot. His reply was, yeah, I guess you gwot me dare.
Little Asian fucker is a modern day medicine man and my old lady just sucks that shit up. The daughter, she was miraculously cured the day she graduated from high school.

Try learning about food allergies before you post. Not the same kind of allergy you are referring to.

HorseShit October 29, 2014 at 4:59 pm

Now you are being a bitch. This guy diagnoses everything from peanut to Bermuda grass. He even told us that she was “mildly allergic” to peanut. I know what a peanut allergy can do because I have a relative that suffers the same fate. I also know that you can’t throw a doughnut across a classroom without hitting someone with Celiac’s disease. If my daughter were allergic to peanuts she would have been dead years ago – this guy is a fear mongering quack. Because he has an MD after his name people are eager to pay up so they can tell everybody that they have an allergy of some kind.

Reply
Guest October 30, 2014 at 11:43 am

Not true. You can have a mild peanut allergy without anaphylaxis. Depends on which type of protein in the peanut you are allergic to. It’s possible to test positive for a food allergy and never have a reaction. A new peanut component test came out a few years ago. My child had it. We discovered that he was highly allergic to the proteins that cause anaphylaxis. A sitter accidentally allowed him to have a mini snickers bar when he was two. Dang if the doctor and test weren’t right. She freaked out and got me, because he was on the floor with stomach pain, lethargy, and bloodshot eyes. He had an anaphylactic reaction that required an epi-pen and visit to the ER. True….there are some that self-diagnose and overreact to a problem they don’t have. But, it is a absolutely real problem for some.

Go to Dollar General and buy all of their “Sticky Eyes” ($1 each) — they have two sets in purple and orange. Take them out of the pack and give them out individually. They really are sticky (should be called “icky”), and you can throw them against walls, cars, etc. Just for fun, you understand.

I’ve just been reminded of the Halloween when I gave out harmonicas as treats (the kids did get candy treats from the rest of the family) – in fact, if I re-read my divorce papers, this incident may have been mentioned.
