Another disciple of Ralph Drabble.

He should let Pilsner stash it for him. :)

No problem for me My stash is in 12 oz long necks, never give those out.

Just stop buying candy for kids on Halloween. The kids never got any so they won’t miss it. But YOU will.

Do they still make Clark Bars?

No place is good enough Moondog (it’s especially pointless to “hide” something from yourself!)

Quickly down a bottle of Vodka and then hide it before you fall blackout drunk.

What’s disturbing is the once innocent rite of youngster passage of trick or treating throughout the neighborhood, mostly unaccompanied by adults, has, in some areas, become more of a safety issue than an enjoyable holiday event. When parents have to be alert for child predators and hospitals are offering to x-ray treats for free to check for razor blades and straight pins, you have to wonder what the hell is wrong with society.

I’m a kind of sewer when it comes to candy. Uh, I mean, connoisseur. I’m very particular. So for Halloween, I just buy candy that I know I wouldn’t be tempted by (for example, Twizzlers, Skittles, Snickers). If there’s any left over after Halloween, then I donate it to the local food pantry.

That pinup looks a lot like Li’l Orphan Annie, but the eyes are wrong.

Sheldon did a strip recently about how shrinkflation is affecting candy bars: sheldoncomics.Com/comic/shrinkflation/

Put it where the soap and deodorant are.

Love the way Moondog tapes his pictures to the wall. A real bachelor

TEMPTATION. I have to wait until Halloween to buy the candy or I would do the same. Much too tempting to nibble.

Then buy more or see your doctor.

Moondog is a candy addict! He needs help! An intervention is called for. In the spirit of self-sacrifice for the sake of another, I’ll gladly eat the rest of the Milky Ways….
