It’s the thought that counts.

Good Morning, Crew!

ahoy Crew. don’t like jokes about razors in apples, Gweedo. i’ve heard too many stories about nutbars doing it for real to see much humor in it.

But most of those stories are fake, urban legends.

Chocolate covered flies aren’t bad compared to what you could get, Charlie.

Good Morning, Crew!

Yeah I am not sure there ever was an actual situation where anyone found a razor blade after trick or treating. Just someone trying to get attention is all.

A childhood friend of mine actually did tell me there were three pins in an apple someone gave him. Razor blades probably are a myth because inserting one would deface the apple so much. Pins I know for a fact have happened.

Good Morning Crew,

Chocolate cover flies must be a delicacy somewhere.

Besides Momma Pirate will confiscate all the good stuff.

Have a GREAT DAY MATIE’S

Are you sure that really is chocolate covering those flies?

They worked hard to make those flies, Charley! Do you know how long it takes to make them?

Good morning Crew!

harmgb and mantydad: take a look at http://www.snopes.com/horrors/mayhem/needles.asp .

MBowser - I think the better question is, are you sure those are flies that are covered in chocolate?

Eww. Give them some D-con in their little bags.

Hey Crew!

Mbowser, are you suggesting they’re serving the poo-poo platter?

No child has ever been seriously injured by Halloween candy received from a stranger. Ever.

Was that rat’s head crispy or regular, RCMinor?
