The End of the Snickers.
November 11th, 2005It turns out that despite what my blog says, I was back in Brooklyn for Halloween. I wasn’t able to do anything festive, though; I didn’t go out, didn’t dress up. But I did think to myself, “won’t it be cute to hand out candy to all the kids in my enormous building who will inevitably drop by my door.”
So, I went to Duane Reade and bought one of those big bags of Snickers.
I was home by about 6:00. I actually carved a tiny pumpkin that I had bought earlier and placed it outside my door so the kids would know I was jazzed up to hand out candy. And then I waited.
No one came. The only thing that happened was that some kid stole my jack-o-lantern.
And I was left with this big bag of Snickers to contend with. So, I’ve been slowly making my way through this Snickers bag for the past two weeks and have finally finished. It’s been a steady diet of Snickers for me. I can’t say that I’ll miss the ol’ Snickers Diet; I felt like I might have gained some weight.
As a post-script, when searching for a Snickers image for this post I found this picture:

When you found that photo of the guy and the Snickers on the cruise ship, did you happen to notice that the guy’s name is actually Snickers? At first I thought it was a joke–a website tracking the adventures of a Snickers bar. But nope, I think that man is named Snickers.
We had oodles of kids at our apartment, but our building has a trick-or-treat sign-up sheet. We still have too much left-over candy. No Snicker’s though.

I’m intrigued by Snickers, the man. (I hadn’t caught that his name was Snickers)
Does he always have a Snickers bar at the ready just in case someone wants to snap a photo? Or, for some reason, did the dessert on this cruise ship include a Snickers bar in addition to a tart?
Also, I’m fascinated by his jacket/tie choice. Also I like his facial hair.
