Transcript

Something good to eat By Zach McKeown WCnewsmagazine Trick-or-treating, in my book, makes Halloween the greatest of the holidays. Dont get me wrong, Christmas is nice, | suppose, but why bother mixing a religion guilt trip in with the free candy? And its not particularly proper to dress up as a serial killer or witch or ghost or sexy nurse on Easter or Independence Day. No, my friends, Halloween is by far the best of the holidays and you might be surprised by just how ancient a tradition trick-or-treating is. Or maybe you won't be surprised. Either way, theres a pillow case full of candy in it for you at the end of the night. But first, some history. Trick-or-treating is a remnant of a medieval practice known as souling, where poor people would go from door to door and beg for food in return for prayers. This took place on All Souls Day, which is known today as Halloween. It is debatable as to whether the American version of Halloween is a direct descendent of the original souling, since that particular practice never made the leap over the Atlantic, but the similarities are pretty obvious. Of course, trick-or-treating has changed a tad since the ages when people were begging for food because they simply didnt have any. Now, as you likely know, the whole trick-or-treating scene is a little more candy-driven (and thusly far superior to the older version). The idea is fairly simple, in practice. If you're young (or in college, dont worry), you dress up as something horrifying or ridiculous and wander the streets at night to knock on strange peoples doors and scream trick or treat. Then the strangers give you candy and you run screaming to the next house. The (cheap, red, plastic, horned) devil is in the details though, and there are a lot of rules when it comes to trick-or-treating that aren't entirely obvious to a candy-gathering amateur. For instance, what do you do when you come across a porch with a bowl full of candy sitting on a step and a sign that says, Take One Honor System? The answer, of course, is that you take all of the candy, the bowl, and possibly the honor system sign (assuming you aren't bothered by all that conscience malarkey). Also, you may consider doing something horrible to this particular persons mailbox or lawn for being a lazy jerk that cant take a couple hours to hand out candy (again, assuming youre some sort of hoodlum). This applies in duplicate for any houses with the lights off even though the people are Clearly home. Mercy is for other holidays; we're talking about Halloween here. Now, | can say that as a kid | trusted people pretty unconditionally and ate candy without fear of razor blades or Advance Your Career E Earn a Masters of Scie in Hospitality Management e 30 credit program e Small classes e Financial aid available Tootsie Rolls injected with some. sort of hallucinogen. Its 2007, however, anda lotof things (the Internet) have happened to the collective conscience of society, so Id recommend at least a cursory glance at your loot before digging in at the end of the evening. Be sure not to eat pennies or the black and orange candies that are recycled at the end of every year and have traded hands every Halloween since the eighty-four-year-old woman at the end of your block bought them in 1972. Don't go in houses; dont get in cars with strangers; and if you do find Tootsie Rolls injected with hallucinogens, for gods sake send them to me for official chemical tests. Sure, trick or treating as we know it may be the bastard child of the destitute medieval homeless begging for food. It may be absurdly risky and irresponsible. It may lead to children being poisoned by some sadistic guy. But we still do it because, well, there's a pillow case of free candy at the end of the night. Free candy is a sirens call to children (and college students) all over the world, and believe me, like a moth to flame, I'll be fluttering wildly and stupidly againct the dim light bulb of an epic sugar high along wii | each and every one of you this year. So tear thai old white sheet off your bed, cut two eye-holes in it, and head out into the night this Halloween. What's the worst that could happen?
