Happy Halloween!

I'm not a fan of Halloween. Call me a party pooper (most do). But just because I'm not the biggest fan doesn't mean that I don't appreciate others' love of it. I'm also not so anti-Halloween that I can't admit it has its upsides: candy, clever costumes*, and The Simpsons Tree House of Horrors.

This year I got invited to a costume party. The costume I came up with hardly rivaled any of the others there. Hannah had the best costume of the night IMHO with a dead perfect Ugly Betty. (By saying it was dead perfect, I'm not implying that she was looking ugly. Anyone who knows the show and saw her would get it.) Other great costumes were Willy Wonka, Neo (from the Matrix), and a big fat tourist guy. Seeing the costumes, esp. the ones that were homemade, made me appreciate the holiday a little bit more.

So what was I? Well, have a and try to guess. (If you already knew, pre-post, please keep to yourself. Or if you are the one person that correctly guessd (Joe), sit quietly and marvel at how clever you are.) What you can't see is that I am wearing knee high rubber boots, which may or may not help. Need a hint? Hover for a clue or two: hint 1, hint 2, hint 3, and (big) hint 4.

No, I went as king of the cosmos from katamari damaci. wait, I don't even know who that is. I tried to make my neighborhood slightly less creepy by giving out candy and looking as normal as I could.

Andrew gets first prize, with a close second to whuppin stick. Amanda gains an honorable mention for pointing everyone in the right direction. I'm amused by "Joe Dirt" (maybe next year) and slightly offended at "sasquath" and "Jule". (Zing!)

Wait...Jule, this was your costume?! In the one Katamari Damacy game I've played, his lines were quite, shall we say, esoteric.

Aside from the black marks on your face, it just looks like Wren circa 1997, since you wore most, if not all of those clothes in High School. P.S. Nice shirt.
