No candy, or lollies as we call them down here.

We don't do Halloween in Australia. Although unfortunately, like a lot of overseas traditions, it's slowly creeping into our communities.

Oh man that guy dressed as Sarah Palin looks friggin hysterical.

we're turning the lights off and teaching at class at our local crossfit. in costume of course.

I've considered giving out Zone-friendly treats, but if I were a kid, I'd be pissed. I only get about 12 kids anyway, so they get a couple mini-chocolate bars each. They have to do 10 burpees to get them though...

Quick question: Has anyone ever used the "Door Gym" pull up bar? Now that winter is coming, I'll be working out in my basement and am wondering if it'll work with our kip-style pu's. Thanks.

Considering I Work for a Candy Company, it is only right I hand out candy. Plus that is what the kids look forward to, and I don't like to disappoint. Also #2, it was not so hysterical when I looked over to the left when he was in full squat, I am glad he had stockings on.

I think Sarah Palin should be jealous.... You all look great....

Is that Elvis' reflection in the mirror?? I knew he was still alive! Great pic CFDV! We're preparing for the same fun today!

2!

Nope, no candy for us. I'm taking my 11 year old camping. Other than sexy costumes there's nothing about Halloween I like.

No candy from me - but I was just thinking today that I should buy some candy that kids don't like, attach our card to it, and then the kids will give it to their parents, who will eat it and then come train with us! And that way the kid doesn't get any sugar from me!

Jim Rose: I've used the Door Gym. It came down on my head. And that was when I was doing dead hang pull-ups. You can NOT kip on the door gym. Not even a little bit.

I threw mine out. From the second I put it together it was pretty wobbly. That could have been because it's the first thing I ever assembled with my own hands, but I'm sure I put all the crews and things in the right places.

If you want the best pull-up bar for your home that you can kip like crazy on then you should get :

THE STUD BAR PULL-UP

Check this thing out. I have dreams about it at night. Enjoy!

Sara Palin had me laughing out loud. That's just too much.

I won't be giving out any candy because I'll be out COLLECTING it with my little Ethan Boo. And yes, I'll be eating it too. I think I'll live ;) Or if it kills me then I'll be going out with a smile on my face. Loosen up people! It's Halloween! One day a year of candy isn't going to hurt anyone.

Happy Halloween everyone :)

Candy: Absolutely! I don't have children, however, I agree that having candy isn't going to kill anyone. I had candy (lots of it) at Halloween and I seem to be ok. Too many traditions are lost - I agree with AllisonNYC - it's one day, they're kids, it's in fun.
In San Diego, and nearby in Baja California - lots of people celebrate 'Day of the Dead' - Dia de las Muertas - which is the Mexican way of remembering their dead relatives and friends... It's a wonderful tradition of flowers and going to the cemetary and burning candles. All in a spirit of fun. I love this time of year b/c of Dia de las Muertas.

Nice vid of Dam Neck. Looks like those sailors are getting after it and will see big improvement with the program they're on.

Happy Halloween, everyone.

Halloween is a sanctioned cheat day. Bring on the sugar.....

Uh, I mean, NO - who likes sugar anyway? Yeeech. And besides, this whole "trick or treat" thing is poorly disguised extortion. Not to mention the demonic cultish worship overtones. I'm giving out copies of the tract entitled "Four Steps to a Fullfilled Endocrine Response."

Hahahaha, love these responses! We live in the ghetto and get egged every Halloween so there will be no treats for the naughty little children in our neighborhood!

Bring on the candy!!!

We are going to collect CF style.

3, 2, 1, GO!!!

Brian, that one made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

Wait... We are supposed to give the candy away????!

Kelly, I believe the rule is one for them, and one for youself. After a quick tally, by the rule of law, you are obligued to eat 3000 candy bars. 321-go

In the recent few months I've really come to despise "it", the sugar, but I'm going to be dishing it out tonight with no remorse. Just bought like 500 bags. Halloween is like Christmas morning to so many kids... I can't deprive that from them, even when act in question is so... UNFORGIVABLE! Maybe we should hand out hyperinsulinemia mini definitions with each visitor. They won't come back next year, but all for the wrong reasons.

It's one night and they're kids. I'm in an apartment complex -- thought I'd get a few kids at least but nada. Not one ghost or ghoul.

The snack size Hershey's milk chocolate and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups I bought are now just sitting there tempting me.

Hell with it. Three Hershey's, three Reeses and some milk and a scary movie while my wife works this weekend. Wild splurge from paleo! How will I even sleep... :-)

Throwing it away seems wasteful -- so I think I'll donate the rest in the AM to the main office here at my complex. They always have some candy and cookies for "future residents".
