I am going to a bachelor party tonight as the Green Lantern. My plan is to tell the exotic dancers that I just got back from space, and that the only money I have is Federation Credits (leftover tokens from the video arcade). But, I will plead to the exotic dancers, I am very hard up due to my time in space. Have pity on me, and please accept these tok-ahem-credits which are redeemable the next time you visit the Off-World Colony.

My buddy who goes mental for Halloween had his party last week. Didn't think he could top last year's pirate-themed party, when he converted his swimming pool into a dock in Tortuga, complete with pirate ship with a crow's nest that was taller than his house, but he did. This year's theme was WW2, and he suspended a 1/3rd mock up of a P-40 Warhawk over his pool, which had a spinning prop and a computer-coordinated light and sound show complete with lights to simulate the cannon fire.

People now think I have an ego problem because last year I was Captain Morgan and this year I went as Winston Churchill.

I will be partying balls as either the Dude or white trash (however one perceives a man in a wife beater and PJ bottoms)...this is quite a brash move when attending a party through an invite of a friend of a friend. That's how I roll.

Caucasian in hand, the Dude. Keystone Light in hand, white trash.

I'll be passing out apples with funny looking incisions on them like I do every year.

I did that once, my first year in law school. I bought a bunch of apples, poked a hole in them with a screwdriver and then shoved a plastic disposable bic razor through it so it looked absolutely ludicrous. Half the people simply looked confused, of the other half, half of them were horrified and half thought it was hilarious. It was useful to figure out which of my classmates I would be getting along with for the next three years.

I once threw a Halloween party when I was single with a band and everything. Along with the other guests, I invited a girl I was then currently dating, along with three other girls I was sort of flirting around with. Do not ever do this.

You mean, it didn't turn into a spontaneous orgy? You must not have had the right costume!

Is it really dressing up if you just show up in your everyday clothes?

Wasn't there a Brady Bunch episode about this where Greg had to keep the girls in different rooms and change clothes in between?

Halloween? It's Friday Night High School football for me--and Homecoming at that!

I'm not sure if it was the Brady Bunch, but I'm pretty sure *insert any sitcom that has teenage viewers here* did it.

With the teeniest dash of chocolate in it to colour it up right.

y'all are great help. You have any idea what happens when you mix milk with 38 beers?? It is something one should never do.

I have new gloves this time.

We're going to whatever is going on at Discovery Green. Not terribly party-ish, but when you can't find a babysitter for a 3mo-old, the options are somewhat limited. Should be fun, though! DH and I plan to dress up as scarecrows, so I just need to get some plaid oversized clothing, a bit of twine, a little facepaint and go beat the crap out of a couple strawhats. Typical shopping list for WalMart.

That's a cute baby.

Here's another sports-related costume:

I acually cut my beard down to a baseball goatee and went as Lance Berkman.

Sadly, nobody wanted any sunflower seeds, twinkies, twizzlers, gum, or corn nuts.

I had a good night, and I didn't even go trick or treating!

I went as Iron Man. Iron Man mask, but the body was a cutout of an actual iron (cardboard box spray painted silver). Complete with handle, spray button..
