I'm wearing a white t-shirt and while painters pants with mustard stains on them and a few candy wrappers glued to them. I am wearing a garbage can over it all - ala oscar the grouch.......

I was told I looked like someone who gives a $hit. They were wrong though. I could never pull off a costume that elaborate and out of character.

Your share of the national debt has increased by $6,180 from 10/1 - 9/30/09. Have you told your kids and grand kids they will be paying back your share in addition to their own?

I got to stay home all night and pass out over 10 Costco bags of candy - our street is a neighborhood safe street, and is barricaded and patroled. Kids are literally bused in from all over. I have NEVER seen as many adults dressed up taking their kids trick or treating as I did last night.
Oh, and I had on my "I See Orange People" Giants t-shirt.

I was going for vixen (the theme of Fantasy Fest this year was Vampires, Villains and Vixens), I got sad 80s rocker. Oh well - at least I had pink hair. JC was a vampire. I believe there is a photo of JC on my Blog

Well I got totally geekified this year and made my own, authentic looking Dr. Horrible costume. Also spent considerable time on my Death Ray. I thought this was a pretty well known character (he won in the last Emmys), but no one in my office (we had a bunch of employee's kids come in on Friday) knew who I was. At a Halloween party at Redhook brewery later, only three people recognised me.

Put in the Yellow Cat Eyes contacts, donned a Jeepers Creepers latex mask, full theatrical cape with over-sized hood and over-sized ghoul-ish werewolf style finger nails. Good fun to D and her 8 yr old & friends Trick-r-Treating.
Regarding the nails; I will never glue nails on again! BIG mistake! Took two hours to get the friggin' things off. Had to use professional strength remover until the entire things dissolved.
Nothing, just sat in a chair on my front porch handing out candy for 2 1/2 hours. We had about 350 trick-or-treaters again this year. Funny, only about 25 kids actually live in the neighborhood.

We're undergoing a company-wide reorganization/realignment.
I considered putting on a Brooks Brothers suit and ordering a Donald Trump/dead squirrel wig.
I thought it would be funny to go around to people's offices and scream "You're Fired" at them.
Somehow, I knew that wouldn't go over well.

Actually that is a good thing for you. Families feel comfortable bringing their children to your neighborhood to trick or treat. Wonderful for you and wonderful for the children who can enjoy a safe Halloween in your neighborhood. Hope it continues.
