Today, October 31st, marks our tenth favorite holiday of the year, Halloween; since you’re wondering, Independence Day is our first through fourth favorite, followed by Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Independence Day again, in that order.

The great thing about Halloween is that it’s perfect for everyone, young and old, rich and poor, pumpkin and non-pumpkin. The only people who don’t enjoy Halloween are “tweens” who think they’re “rebellious” so they just dress up like pissed off middle schoolers and go out and egg houses. But whatever your age, it’s an excuse to dress up and get sick on candy, drunk on beer, high on laughter, bored on television or whatever it is you do to ward off evil spirits.

And if you’re like us, you’re excited because, not only do you get to scare away the undead — by which we mean little kids — but you get to show all your friends how much better you are because you have a far superior costume. We’re kidding of course, we don’t really aim to scare little kids. But we’re not above stealing their candy.

Anyway, here’s a cool YouTube clip of a pretty funny way to mess with people and get candy, even if you’re an adult:

Have a fun and safe Halloween, kids… of all ages.
