This morning on 'BZ, Jon Keller said only a few kids came to his house for Halloween. He concluded from this that kids today are too fat and lazy to leave their Gameboys to do something fun like trick or treat.

Our neighborhood was full of trick-or-treaters (as it is pretty much every year). Maybe, Jon, the kids in your neighborhood were terrified you'd explode on your doorstep in a blinding flash of hot, gaseous death and stayed away.

Makes as much sense as your explanation.
