IT IS TIME TO TALK ABOUT HALLOWEEN

What is everybody doing? Costumes? Parties? Tricks or treats?
I've just gotten settled into a house with a roommate and his pet pig and a big back yard and we've offered to host a halloween bash here, but I have no idea what to be. I was Freddie Mercury and Nikola Tesla last year (gotta make the most of havin that moustache), but no good costumes have presented themselves this year. I'm almost considering trying to build something impressive. Maybe a transformer costume? Not sure if I have the time or money for that though. My other idea was the Rocketeer, but that requires a lot of custom built props too.
What's everybody else got planned?

Dressing up as a creepy ring master to scare teh bejeezus out of little kids in the area. I might also give out candy.

On Halloween proper, I dunno, what with it being a Sunday and all. Just in case I took the first week of November off, so whatever happens, I'm ready.
Now the night before Halloween, my favorite band that's still together will be playing, so it's off to the Electric Six show for me. I'm considering rigging up a Gay Lincoln costume for the show (like Don said, you gotta make the facial hair work for ya).
Man, I love Halloween.

I hate Halloween. I'll buy myself some candy, and sit inside enjoying it with the porch lights out so the neighborhood kids don't ring the doorbell.

I love Halloween, but my plans this year... I have no plans. I'll either be moving into my house or putting the finishing touches on rennovating it.

You should hide in the house, occasionally running out to frighten little kids in the area.

Damn, you have some cool friends. A pet pig? Damn.

I think "cool" is the word you were looking for. Hope so, because otherwise, in that context, it's not looking good for the pig.

I honestly cannot think of what to go as. I keep thinking of going as one of the ghosts from Pac Mac since I love those little guys. Just drape a big colored sheet over an umbrella to get the right shape and there you go. Done. My friends all want me to go as Riff Raff from Rocky Horror because I can do his voice at the drop of a hat. I've been invited to a movie fest, going to the pumpkin patch this weekend, checking out the renovated haunted deaf school in Salem, Or (supposed to be a new episode of Extreme Home Makeover about it), maybe go to the Halloween dance at the college since it'll be my last chance and I've never been. Might drag a co-worker along. Um... yeah, it's a tad busy

My extended family's having a get-together, and they're a cool bunch, so I'll be going to that. I'm thinking I'd like to go as Uncle Sam, but I'm not sure how possible it'll be for me to get that costume together. I'll have to look around when I get the chance.

I was going to go all-out and be Protomen-style Protoman, but I can't find a motorcycle helmet that's suitable and cheap that I can paint. Shit sucks. Plus, I have no event to go to.
