I posted yesterday about how excited I was to get BOO-zed this Halloween. It was an awesome surprise and one I want to share with as many folks as possible.
With that in mind, I’ve put together this guide on how to “BOO-ze” your friends, complete with links to the “BOO-zed poem” which explains the tradition and a “We’ve Been Boo-zed” ghost picture in an easy to print form. This way there’s nothing stopping you from getting started in your neck of the woods.
For the uninitiated, here’s how it works:
-
- Select two friends to “BOO-ze”
- Get two strong Halloween-themed bags or plastic pumpkins and fill them with grown-up treats, like good craft beer, a little whiskey, chocolates, cookies, etc. Whatever you think your friends will enjoy or get a laugh out of.
- Print up two copies of the poem and two copies of the ghost and place one of each in each bag
- Wait until it’s dark and leave each bag full of goodies, the poem and the ghost picture on your friends’ doorsteps
When your friend gets their treats, they will be asked to choose two friends to “BOO-ze” and keep the tradition going. It’s kind of like a chain letter, but one you really, really want to get.
Your friends will also be instructed to place the ghost picture in their door so they don’t get “BOO-zed” more than once. That wouldn’t be fair.
We’ve placed link info for this page on the bottom of the poem and the ghost so it’s easy to find and print the documents without having to photocopy them. It should make it easier for them to keep the tradition going that way.
So there you have it. Now get out there and make Halloween memorable for your friends and neighbors!
Also, please consider sharing this page with anyone you think might get into “BOO-zing” – it’s a terrific tradition and we really want it to spread like wildfire.
Here are PDF files of the Poem and the Ghost:
I will add, it is supposed to be a “Ring and Run job”,,, So make sure you have a good escape plan!
Good thing I have some experience from my youth to fall back on here. I always knew it would serve a good purpose.
Wait until it’s dark and leave each bag full of goodies, the poem and the ghost picture on your friends’ doorsteps *** I think you are also supposed to knock and run like hell🙂
I guess it depends on the neighborhood. Our was just sitting there all night. Good think raccoons don’t drink beer!
I was thinking the same thing. Lots of kids would have passed my door before I found it sitting out front – and a package looking like that would be very tempting to passer-by.
It’s dark and quiet where I live so it’s not a problem. And no it’s not a cave. And no, it’s not the womb – that’d be warm as well.
what do you do when you’ve been away and return a few days AFTER Halloween?
Grab some Chridtmas beers and play Sloshy Santa?
I love this! Walked out this morning and saw that we’ve been boo-zed! Can’t wait for tonight so we can do the same to our crazy neighbors!
