My costume this year:

The usual: Dressing up as a guy that does not get dressed up for Halloween. Though, I want to buy a wizard's costume and wear that to work in, like, April.
 
An exhausted mother of a 18 month old and a 4 week old.....wait no:ohmy:that's real life! Well that is what I'm going as...I have 2 hours to pull something together for my son..so far I have..nothing.
 
I came up with a couple of cheap, quick options yesterday... nothing like procrastination, huh? :laugh: I haven't decided yet which one I'll implement (warning extreme pun content follows):
A) pin several 'variety pack' fun-size cereal boxes to a black hoodie, wear black gloves with jeans & sneakers & carry a fake bloody knife - a cereal killer. :D
B) cut a large white oval out of poster board, color/paint a sunshine yellow circle in the center & wear devil horns and a tail (pitchfork optional) - a deviled egg. :D
C) dress in blue jeans, wear black sneakers, black socks, a black tank & blue sweater hoodie - a bruise. (black & blue all over) I might even put on some extra eyeliner & smudge it up to really blacken my eyes... or not. Either way, it works. :D

When I told Kelly about my ideas last night, he just looked at me with a blank stare for about 5 seconds before asking me, "Didn't they drug test you for your new job?" :lmao:

I can't wait to see all the photos posted later tonight/tomorrow. <------ HINT :giggle:

Hey, that's a good idea. Thanks for the tip. Procrastion is my middle name. :lol:
 
(I’m imagining my voice as that of Crusty the Clown, for some reason.)

:laugh: It's cos of the "hey kids!"

So you're just gonna wander around whining at everyone about how phony everything is?

I found that hilarious even though I've never read Catcher In The Rye. :uhoh:

Here I am today:

Very special thanks to my coworkers -- one for the lend and drape of the sari, the other for the makeup.

Nice! You look good in a sari. :) So you're dressing up as a......... Indian woman? Or is there more to it? :shifty: :wink:

BluRmGrl, your ideas are all great!

Thank you! A woman I work with is married to an Indian man and has many saris for various holidays, events and celebrations, so offered them to a few of us just because it's fun and the saris are so beautiful (and I get to wear an armful of bracelets and fantastic earrings, a total plus). I'm not doing any shimmying or anything ;)
 
I went with the cereal killer after all - I forgot to wear the gloves, but I think the idea was conveyed well without them. :giggle:

Here's a shot of our neighborhood 'gang'. :lol: We're a combination of about 4 households that all congregate in one neighbor's garage; we just hung out together tonight while passing out candy.

I'm putting my granola under 24-hour surveillance.


I spent last night transporting my entire belongings from one apartment to another. On the way into the new place, I was carrying a box of something, when a gang of trick-or-treaters approached. I was hit by a huge realization, and equally massive wave of guilt--I hadn’t bought a single treat to dish out! I said to them, “Sorry guys, I completely forgot to get treats…I’m just moving in.”

One of them, who was dressed like a duck and acted a bit like the leader, responded: “Don’t worry—there’s always Christmas.”

A true professional!
 
The Lady Friend and I were Jim and Pam, so that was fun.

Nice. I only saw one Office character this year (three-hole-punch Jim). My ex-girlfriend was a pretty convincing Pam last year.

Well, I scrapped the Rick Astley idea in favor of of Kenneth Ellen Parcell, NBC page extraordinaire. There must be more 30 Rock fans than I thought, because a great number of people got it.

I've been down on Sixth the last two nights for all the costumes and everything. Last night was such that I was only able to spend time in one bar.

For a reference point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyUzDp-pyf0

There were even more people out than in that video. A few people I was with who would know remarked that it resembled Mardi Gras. It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen which eventually culminated in my Heisman-ing a Teletubby on a bike.

I stopped counting at 48 Joker costumes.

I had to get something.

One on my floor dressed as plumber. I came up the stairs and said, "Hi Joe." He was happy as I was the first to recognize what he was supposed to be.
 
I went to a costume party... I was there for like... 2 hours and when I back to see my car, my stereo was gone, also 2 DB Drive speakers... great

today is "D?a de Muertos" here in Mexico, I'm more excited about that
