My first choice is this one: I'm a 6' white guy with blonde hair, so I'm close already. It's dirty blonde instead of platinum blonde, but still. And I've even got an ex who says she'll sew it for me. One alternative idea is, I could go buy some ill-fitting clothes at the thrift store, drop from 240 lbs to 135 lbs, pay a homeless guy $3 to give me a haircut with a pocketknife, walk around saying "2+2=13", and go as Bill Dembski. But I'm open to suggestions. What's everybody thinking about for Halloween this year?

PennyBright Posts: 78 Joined: May 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Sep. 23 2006,10:40    Right now we're running a couple of ideas around: The Bee (our daughter) and her Da may go as an archer (the Bee) and a target, or as a cat and a dog.  They always do the trick or treat bit together, and so try to have matching costumes.  I'll probably do my mad eye doctor bit again if they go with one of those.   Greet the kids with the prop jar of extremely realistic rubber eyeballs, demanding to know if they are there to pick up the donation to the eye bank, then get all cranky when they don't have the cooler, and give them candy instead. The other possibility includes me on door duty dressing up as Carmen Sandiego while the Bee and her Da dress as detectives and scour the community for me while collecting candy clues. -------------- Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood. - Shakespeare (reputedly)

Louis Posts: 6436 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Sep. 25 2006,06:02    Just enough time for a quick comedy post: As young adults every New Year's Eve my friends and I used to go to a little seaside town up the coast from our home. Every year the idea was that everybody turned up in fancy dress and had a street party (yes, on Dec 31st! Cold but FUN). The pubs were always rammed full and the streets heaving. We set ourselves the task of bettering our fancy dress every year, and this continued for about 4 years. The penultimate year we all turned up as fridges. We cut the innards and heat exchangers out of old fridges, cut holes to get our bodies and arms through, and wore these old fridges as fancy dress. My friend even wired a car battery up to his fridge so that the light came on when you opened the door. We were very well recieved by the public, specifically the ladies, that evening. The year after we wanted to all go as a car, so we bought an old wreck and proceeded to strip it clear of any superfluous parts. However, we went to France the night before New Year to get some cheap booze and ended up missing the ferry due to excessive drunkenness. Unfortunately we made it back to town too late to finish the car and get to the street party. So just went in normal clothes and got very drunk. Ah memories! Louis -------------- Bye.

I like George Hodel.  Though it's up for grabs, I like his house with a secret room, the fact he is a doctor, the wire tap transcripts, the lack of ability to control his sexual appetite, etc. I think too much has been made over the false identification of the pictures his son found.  They weren't Elizabeth, but they were of a woman who looks like Elizabeth.  Men tend to like a certain "type" of woman.
