Happy Halloween from BobBattleLaw.com
Greetings!
 
Ahh, what a rare Halloween treat- a Saturday night Halloween followed by an extra hour of sleep overnight! Our neighborhood has a pre-Trick or Treating party which features a bunch of grown-ups, somewhat numbed from large quantities of pizza, chili, beer and wine watching all the neighborhood kiddies, wearing highly flammable costumes parade around a roaring bonfire. OK, OK, that doesn't sound very safe. Trust me, we haven't had one youngster go up in flames yet and, if we do, we've got lots of doctors and nurses on hand (and lawyers!)

FREE Halloween/Shopping Bag!

Go Green this Halloween with the Eco-Friendly canvas Halloween/Shopping bag. I have created the "KERMIT LIED- IT IS EASY BEING GREEN! REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE" bag which I will be happy to give to any neighborhood/area trick or treaters. Just respond to this email and we can arrange pick-up before dark tomorrow night. (Below, Emmett models last year's bag- this year's bag is even bigger to hold even more Halloween candy.)

 P.S. In a surprise move, Emmett has once again chosen Batman for his costume but the design is from the cartoon "Batman:The Brave and the Bold" and not the old school model shown above patterned on the Batman costume worn on the 1960's TV show by pudgy Adam West.

More Words of Wisdom to our College Bound Readers

My article in the last newsletter advising young college-bound women to not be the "drunk chick" at the party was a big hit. I actually had several new subscribers when loyal newsletter readers forwarded the  advice to friends who had daughters entering college. So, in keeping with that tradition, especially in light of some of the "witch's brews" that I have seen at college Halloween Parties, here is the latest, simple sage advice. My sister-in-law, Elizabeth Palen, gets credit for this one- Never, ever drink any "punch" that is mixed in a trash can!

 Believe me, boys and girls, you have no idea what goes into these concoctions, from incredibly intoxicating (can you say "grain punch?") to incredibly disgusting (these are college frat boys, 'nuff said!) In fact, I would advise declining any and all punch, even if it is served in a crystal punch bowl! (I repeat, these are college frat boys.) So, since a picture is worth a thousand words, remember the image below and also remember my candy corny warning- drink the punch and you'll wind up trashed!

My advice to the college frat boys- drink up Shriners, don't be a wuss. (Oh wait, that's the advice they will get from their guy friends... for the rest of their lives!)

Let's not Forget Valuable Advice for the Elementary School Kids

Solomon has nothing on me when it comes to wise advice. Here's a piece of advice to the elementary school kids. I love seeing all the kids heading off to school with their backpacks. However, with each passing school year, the books keep getting heavier and heavier. So, if your dad asks you to sit on your mom's lap for a picture and you already are wearing your backpack, don't lean too far back or you may wind up in the bushes like poor Conor Battle.

Have a happy and safe Halloween. And to all my neighborhood dads who will be attending the Annual Halloween Hootenanny tomorrow, I say in all seriousness- drink up Shriners, don't be a wuss!
