Trick or treat is always fun for me. I love giving away candy and seeing the costumes--especially in Pittsburgh. It's always funny to see how the kids can incorporate their winter coats into their costumes. At least they don't have to wear those hard plastic jumpsuits that came in cake boxes like we (I) did years ago.
As torturous as it was sporting a plastic mask that I couldn't see out of, trying not to crack a frozen plastic jumpsuit and dodging the homes that were giving away Mallow cups, I still loved it. Everybody was happy to see me dressed up and rewarded me just for doing it.
I just wish there was a better way that we, as adults, could engage in the festivities. Sure, we can dress up and party, but where are our treats? Well, here's where it gets fun! I've been given a handful of treats to give to you, my online friends.
I'm sure you've heard the word, Giant Eagle Market District is opening up a new store in Robinson Township. Well, they've given me some gift cards to share with you, my readers. I'm not a very commercial guy. But, if I get a chance to make putting up with me worthwhile, I'll pass it along to you. And, if I happen to make you guys jump through a couple of hoops to win and I am amused, we both win, right??
So, starting tomorrow, I'll be holding a couple of Trick or Treat contests to award the gift cards to you all via this blog, Twitter and Facebook. And, before you yell and cry foul, there aren't any rules and I'll tell you in advance, this isn't fair -- it's Woody's World. Market District supported Pittsburgh Pod Camp. So, I'll give them out as I see fit and best helps them to communicate their message.
Afterall, what is the fun in having power if you don't abuse it? You'll just have to pay attention and hopefully win an advance on your Market District lunch or Thanksgiving dinner.
Wasn't there a TV station that said "watch and win?" Well, I'm taking it. Watch and win! Oh, and thanks for reading.
