Many of you may remember how I spent last Halloween. Long story short, I gave an obnoxious, too-old-to-be-trick-or-treating teenager a can of canned veggies instead of candy because he was far too old to be tricking or treating. While I haven’t quite made plans for this Halloween quite yet (other than some entertaining of my kids as well as my nieces and nephew), I am ready for those morons again if we decide to distribute candy this year (we haven’t quite decided yet).
I have some old cans of veggies and other random items from the pantry (like some pickled asparagus — why I have that, I have no idea) that I have collected and will be sticking these labels on them. That link links to a PDF file I created in about five minutes during my lunch break so edits/changes are appreciated (comment here). The sheet is formated to print on Avery Template 5160 (the 1″ x 2.625″ 30 labels to a sheet mailing label — can be bought very cheap as a generic at OfficeMax). So print them up, stick ’em on, and enjoy (and if anybody has a different design idea and wants to throw one together, e-mail it my direction and I’ll post it here).
Update: Thanks to Barn, I fixed a typo.

I would warn you that if you are giving teenagers anything frmo your panty, you may have some trouble on your hands….
….as I misspell the word right before it…..
Aw, man, you’ve gotta love Halloween, Jake! Boy, you sure are the Halloween Grinch. You’re not bound to make any friends with those stickers, either, but it’s funny as hell, nonetheless!
You’re not even sure if you’re going to distribute candy or not?? Don’t you remember being a kid and thinking all those folks that turned their lights out or hung a sign up telling you to bugger off were lamers? Be the neighborhood nice-guy and have a big bowl of candy ready at the door!
Here in the Netherlands we don’t really celebrate Halloween. My brother and I have been making it relatively popular in our neighborhood, and the last few years increasingly more kids drop by. We try to have a little show, like last year, but I’m not going to have much time to prepare anything this year.
Speaking of which… anybody any ideas?
I don’t know if we’re even going to be home, which is why I don’t know if I’m going to be giving out candy (we’re having a halloween party, but we’re not sure if i’ll be at our house or somebody elses).
you are soooooo gonna get egged lol
Boy I wish I lived in your neighborhood. I would much rather receive cans of healthy and delicious vegetables instead of candy. If this thing catches on, why, I could do a regular food drive amongst you and your neighbors. Sighs. 🙂
I would much rather receive cans of healthy and delicious vegetarather than nefarious, tooth-decaying little cobles lorful mummies of white death.
I Survived Halloween, and My Wedding Anniversary
As I mentioned in the past, my wife and I got married on the day before Halloween not because we liked the holiday, but because we liked saving money (we…
Happy Halloween
OK, so we all know that I’m kind of “meh” about the whole Halloween thing (see my canned veggies labels or my concrete filled pumpkin ideas), but my family and…
