c'est l'halloween

This shall be a retelling of my genius Halloween plan.

Tonight being Halloween, it's also a Tuesday. Tuesday means I have class at the University. I've already skipped two classes, and the course is done in the beginning of December, so I really had to go tonight. That being said, I still wanted to provide candy for the neighbourhood kids, even though I'm poor. I had a leftover box of cheesies from last year, about 40 bags left. I poured a bunch of other candy in the box (some crappy dollar store marshmallow candies (I'm poor!) and some mini chocolate bars (I kept most of the Reese Peanutbutter Cups for myself)). I then fired up Photoshop to make a sign for it. My plan was to put the box on the front steps, and let the kids fend for themselves. Following is a photologue of the process:


The Sign that was attached to the box.


I figured some kids might just steal the whole box (since it had handles), so I attached this note to the bottom.


The complete contraption.

Success! The box after being set out from 5:30 - 9pm when I got home from class. It's still out there, I'm curious to see what will become of it in the morning.
