That goddamn sign infuriates me.

Anyway, there are a few surplus shops in Calgary to get your basic military-looking shirt. You can probably even score some weird badges for those shoulder straps like Fidel has there.

What the hell are those things, anyway? The straps, not the badges.

I thought epaulettes were ceremonial non-functional things involving gold or brass and frilly parts. Google tells me that this the case, but there are also pictures of these things. Huh. Learn something new...

gluten covered peanuts sure, but "lactose drizzle"? That sounds illegal, especially if you're giving it to children without consent.

Would you prefer a milk reduction? I was going to go with 'chocolate drizzle', but I figured why add the chocolate flavor when you can just have the punch of lactose without any of the candy benefits?

And without consent? And showing up on a doorstep demanding treats is technically consent.

When I was growing up one house refused to hand out candy for Halloween one year and instead gave out tooth brushes. I've never seen so many eggs splattered on one window

The aforementioned retro costume ideas are all ridiculous and wrong.

They didn't wear anything like that in the 2080s.

Knock-off costume makers get creative with their costume names to avoid intellectual property law:

Easy and comfortable 80s costume.

Magnum PI just need a moustache, red Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and Detroit Tigers hat.

Ferrari is optional

Bought my candy off amazon this year. There was a solid deal on Hershey brand chocolate bars. Love Prime membership.

Kids and I have nearly eaten half the box of Halloween candy my wife bought.

It's mostly her fault... she should've found a better hiding spot.
