My Halloween etiquette isn't what it used to be, and I need help...
In 2011, what do kids say when they come to your door? "Trick or treat"? "Help the poor, my pants are tore"? Or "I've been laid off; got any candy corn?"
What do you do when an angry 20-something comes to your door carrying a cinder block in one hand and says, "Trick or treat"?
If you run out of candy during the evening, what should I do? Thank you, -Wondering in GR
ED NOTE: Thanks for the
questions Mike. Question 1... Congratulations. You got the year correct.
Question 2... Give him a treat and take the cinderblock. Question 3...
Threaten the kids with the cinderblock recently acquired from previous
transaction. Ok... Now no more wondering in Grand Rapids.
The
Happy Hair Productions of "Pizza" you had on the McCarty Metro
last month was hilarious! I loved it! what a great film!!!! That actor playing the pizza guy was super funny! He's really talented!
-Man2BKing
ED NOTE: We at the
Metro are quite proud of producers Larry and Gina. We are especially
thankful to Gina that she explained to Larry (while he was licking his
chops) that the concept of Nashville's "48 Hour Film Project"
was not to make a 48 hour film, but rather a 7 minute film in 48 hours.
Had
a great time at the "Meet The Baby" party for Alexa. Thanks for
setting everything up. Alexa is so lucky to have such great grandparents. The
party was fabulous. -Chris and Amanda
ED NOTE: I hope everyone saw
the huge sunflowers by the back porch. We grew them because Alexa has brought
such a ray of sunshine into our lives. Margaret and I are only hoping we can
plant more and more every year. (hint hint Chris, Amanda, Brad and Austin)
On a recent trip to Detroit, I saw a lovely fix-er-upper on the west side. Any suggestions what I should offer?
-Sentimental Value
ED NOTE: I heard you
offered your wallet, watch and car to get out of there. You sure know how to
show Gina a good time. On a serious note though... seeing these pics makes
me sad when I think about all the good times we had in the house. Even Joe
Morrison couldn't do that much damage.
This is a new feature giving our readers a chance to share some of the
funny, stupid, or insightful things they, or someone they know, have said
over the past month.
Kelly McCarty talking with a group of people at the party who were
commenting on the huge sunflowers by the porch... Kelly said, "Well,
I can't wait to harvest all the pumpkin seeds". When someone from the
group said that they give off sunflower seeds, not pumpkin seeds, Kelly
replied "DAMN!"
Kelly & Margaret attended a comedy show on Mackinac Island in
September. The comedian was picking on a wedding party in the crowd,
specifically the best man because he had no idea what he was going to say
for the toast. He continued needling the guy for a few minutes. He then
asked the audience if there were any couples celebrating an anniversary.
Kelly said yes, 27 years. The comedian asked Margaret if she could offer
any advice for a long and happy marriage. Kelly interrupted and said
"I'll take this one honey". "I believe any successful
marriage starts with a great best man toast at the wedding!" It was
the biggest laugh all night.
