What was your best and worst Halloween costume?

Best?
Either the Crow or Indiana Jones.

Worst?
Indiana Jones BEFORE I got the actual bullwhip. I made the whip out of shock cord and tie wraps.

STUPID!

My last trick-or-treating season, I was a farmer. I wore my dad's green coveralls and a pair of rubber boots.

My mother made me an elaborate wizard's costume. It was purple with yellow moons and stars. I wore a ten-inch white beard. And an old man said to me, 'Oh! The Lone Ranger! That's wonderful!'

And, when I was two, I was a chinaman. Complete with rice-paddy-worker's bamboo sunhat and greasepaint fu-manchu.

Best = Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Common, yes, but I made me some great lookin' shoes . . .

Worst = An ex beau and I went as grapes. We looked great at the beginning, but by the end of the night everyone had popped my balloons and I was left with saggy popped latex and spandex on. Not attractive.

Well, it's cool that you went from being grapes to being raisins.
:)

Haha!

Er..
Put down that knife...

No you didn't.

No you didn't.




And you made fun of my love of puns.

I dressed as a prostitute last year, and it got me a date, so that's the best.

On second thought, the date totally sucked, so that's probably the worst too.

I tried to blacken my eye in the third year of university. I stood in the bathroom of my basement room and repeatedly slammed my fist into my face. I got a swelling, but no shiner. It was lame-o. The following year I stole Dave's idea and went as Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Better.

Best: Fuzzy pink bunny (in a costume made for me by my Mom) at age 6. I was also a princess, Katie, wearing the "Junior Bridesmaid" dress that my Aunt Pat wore in my Mom and Dad's wedding.

Worst: Plumber. I wore coveralls and carried a plunger. Which I said had never plunged toilets. I lied.

I am NOT creative with costumes. I was a sweet, sweet Eurotrash chick at that WT party, though.

Best: porn star. Worst: every year after I had a good costume and then immediately used it again next Halloween (i.e. Darkman, Ghostbuster).

Bill did indeed steal my Alex from Clockwork Orange idea. I told everyone what I was going to be, and he basically said, "That's what I'm doing now, so forget about it. And I'd do it better than you." He was right, though.

Pictures of white trash bash, Alex, and porn star Dave to be posted later tonight.

I'm late to this conversation, but...

Best: Mr. (Ms.) Heat Miser, complete with the song and everything.
Worst: Gorton's Fisherwoman. Only three people knew who I was and everybody else wondered why the hell I was handing out fish sticks.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
