Will You Dress Up For Halloween?

Same here, only dressed up a couple of times as a kid, once was to go to a party, haven't dressed up at all as an adult.
 
Haven't dressed up since I used to take my kids out for treating. We don't get any kids here in the complex as most go to local church gatherings and parties. When I had my house I loved seeing the little ones and hated seeing the teens out for the treats.

In this one smallish city we lived in when my kids were kids, there was an unwritten code, an understanding that seemed to prevail throughout the entire city, that went; when the little kids were done making the rounds; generally by 8-8:30, because they were chomping at the bit before sunset, even, and were starting to get really uncomfortable in their costumes an hour later, and some of the costumes were even falling apart by this time; that's when the teenagers were actually welcome to go around and collect whatever candy was left before they went to their friends' parties. So, if you were the one at home passing out the candy, right around 7:58, you picked out all the candy you wanted for yourself and stashed it before the big kids started showing up.

"Sorry, guys, it was way busier than usual, but I've got five of the little boxes with, like, three Jujube's inside, four black Red Vines that apparently came out of the wrapper, and a couple of Dum-Dums...cream soda, I think."

I remember a friend's Halloween party many years ago. He was a tall thin chap and appeared dressed up as the "Angel of Death" - complete with cadaverous make-up. After some time he left in his car to buy some cigarettes and returned barely able to contain himself with laughter. He explained that he had to stop at traffic lights and another car driven my a man with a female passenger pulled up alongside him. So he turned round and smiled at them. There was a loud scream and the car roared off through the red light.
 
About 1985, when my wife got the job she'd been hoping for, we just had to go to the company Halloween party. I didn't know where to even begin putting a costume together. Since I wasn't much bigger than her, and I wore my hair kind of long back then, my wife suggested I wear one of her dresses. The day of the party, she insisted.

She told me later that three different people asked her if I was a man in a dress or a woman wearing a fake mustache.

Don't think I didn't tell myself it was time I start lifting weights.
