What are you and yours dressing as for Halloween? 
Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?

She dressed as a Brownie (like girl scout) for work. I wore basketball shorts and a t-shirt when I answered the door for the trick or treaters, this is what I normally wear when I get home and not going anywhere. I wasn't in the mood to dress up and I only had 4 kids stop by for treats. I want to know where all the rug rats are that I see every day in the neighborhood.

I have four costumes: a witchhunter puritan, a wizard, a barbarian, and a mandarin. Thought of adding a pirate but now everybody wants to be a pirate due to a certain recent atrociously bad movie series, which will remain unnamed.

After the "Incident" last year, Mrs Scout won't let me take the kids trick-or-treating as a "streaker" anymore.  shocked cheesy rolleyes

Sweet memories to drive us on,

She's dressing as Hillary?  grin

Also, one of the papers here showed an amusing "Al Gore" costume. Guy in a suit, scowling, carrying an inflatable globe and a hair dryer pointed at it.

I've got a pretty snazzy "Wizard's Robe" and a high-end latex skeleton mask in the closet. I figure with those two I can mix and match a couple times.

Surprisingly enough, so far I've only seen one student wearing a costume. I thought there would be more.

I'm going as "guy who just got home from work and is still wearing Dockers and a dress shirt".

Or maybe I'll put on a golf glove and pretend I'm a golfer. From hell or something.

I think I'll dress up as a deputy sheriff...

except I'll have real guns, real handcuffs, a real cop car, etc.

I imagine I'll get to attend a few festivities tonight, but I won't have an invitation to any of them.  I also won't be imbibing.

Hopefully, I won't have to help load anyone into the meatwagon.  Helping someone into a cell is OK, though.

Now, where's that chick in the "Elvira" costume?Huh???

Heh... most fun was when we still had the snake. I answered to door with three feet of boa constrictor wrapped around the back of my neck.

 The kids, it didn't faze. But one mother, when she realized that there was a real snake nosing in her direction, teleported down the driveway (roughly 50'), leaving her kids behind.

 HER mother (the tykes' grandma) thought that was hilarious.

Soccer referee. Black shirt, black shorts, black socks. Whistle and red/yellow cards.

When somebody dumps a beer/drink, you blow the whistle and they are shown a yellow card for bad play. Write the costume in the book, and display the yellow card to the party. It's pretty funny. Red cards are used for peeing outside (illegal in the city), vomiting, or getting caught making out. Red wine on a white carpet is also a red card.

I'll be dressing up as a festively plump mid 20's IT manager who is stuck at work tonight.  Exciting, yes?

5yr old = Cowgirl
3yr old = Ladybug
Wife = MILF
Me = Sitting on the rocker by the stairs giving out candy to the little gremlins.

SWMBO would not let me rig up the Cowgirl with a holstered, nonoperational Single Six, nor give single pennies to 15+ yr old gremlins. 

I try, but curmudgery eludes me.

BOO!
