In recognition of this most joyous day of Halloween, some alternatives to the phrase “Trick or Treat:”

1. “Do you have any candy?”

2. “Hello? Is there anybody in there? This is major Tom to ground control.”

3. Incessant Knocking

4. “Hey, Halloween!” (Seriously, a 3 year old girl just came up and said it like 5 minutes ago.)

5. “Let’s hurry it up buddy, I’ve got ten more blocks to hit by eight o’clock”

6. “If you don’t give me candy, I will be execute.”

The last one is a modified quote from one of the trailers of the soon to be released movie, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan”

Here’s a few I’ve been storing up on my phone…

If for no other reason than for their love of high fiber cereal, Karen and Ann are Good Friends.

Allie is finally remotely interested in playing with a ball, but only so long as Piper desperately wants to steal it.

Yes, MSU cheerleaders and part of the marching band in the Big Ten rooms at the President’s Brunch at the Kellogg Center… it was loud indeed.
