Halloween 14

Anything good this year? We don't have any parties but we're all going to nerd out for Comic Con over the weekend. I'm going as the Doctor, obviously.

Which one? (if you answer with anyone pre-Eccleston other than Baker I'm going to label you a Doctor Who hipster)

Since I was going to shave anyway, I think I'm stealing AB's "super creepy Rob Lowe" idea for work.

Eff you. Peter Davison was the man as the Doctor.

Tenth. You know...the one with the hipster glasses and the hipster sideburns and the hipster Chuck Taylors.

Exactly.

Or you could be old like Sabo.

I'm doing Don Draper for work as part of a group (although I was considering Sterling Archer in the Tactileneck, but no woman would probably dress as Lana), recycling one of my old ones for trick-or-treating (maybe my Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde), and a couples costume for Marie Antionette and Louis XVI, with the heads sewn back on. First Halloween party for adults since 07, and my first store-bought costume since... shit... when I was in my single digits and we had those shitty plastic costumes with rubber banded masks that would be die-cut molds, sharp enough to slice adamantium. The 80s were great.

I recycled a pharaoh costume for a party last weekend, and then sold it to a college kid for a cool $5 on the stumble home. I'm going to a 20's-themed speakeasy party this weekend, so I think I'll bust out a suit, fedora, and day cravat and then paint my face in a dia de los muertos style.

Sabo's Doctor is my Doctor's father-in-law!

I'm fine with that.

It's a brilliant idea! I haven't been able to procure a leather jacket, so I will probably be Painfully Awkward or Less Attractive Rob Lowe.

Remember when I said no one would dress as Lana? A 24 y/o co-worker of mine (albeit caucasaian) today is dressed in a grey sweater dress and folded over knee boots. And I know there are rules here, but I don't want to get fired.

While I understand, I am still disappointed.

Thanks, Pruitt. Now my wife is pissed at me.

I told her I would be making out with HER all night, but she's not buying it.

I didn't do anything special....except for hand out small dixie cups of frozen margaritas to the grown ups that came with their kids. Best idea ever....

Went to a party as Jack from State Farm.

Jake is busy, and I am lazy

Your street cred is now off the charts. A neighborhood legend. There will lines to your door next year.

"Legend" is right. I can still point out the house where electric jello shots were given out five years ago.

Our doorbell rang three times, a combination of being on a street with a lot of Orthodox Jews (who shun Halloween.. especially on a Friday night) and the fact that it was 40 degrees and raining. As a result, my wife spent Saturday near the washroom as she conveniently forgot that lactose intolerance and milk chocolate are not a good combination.

Holy shit, is that one of your kids as the creepy gas mask kid?

Dude, she was such a hit. We couldn't walk 20 feet without someone wanting to take a picture of her or with her. Eventually she just started walking up to anyone in Who cosplay saying "Are you my mummy?" which she does eerily perfect.

Scottie Too Hottie who apparently watches DW actually stopped us so he could take a picture of her.

Alaina Huffman. She plays Abaddon, The Queen of Hell, in the TV show, Supernatural, that the kids love so much.

That feels like way too many commas for that short of a sentence. But yeah...she's DDG in real life. Not as much on the show.

I just had to YouTube Doctor Who to understand what was going on. That costume is excellent -- as is the Comic Con you went to.

My grand costume for Halloween which didn't come to fruition because I wasn't sure if I'd be around or not (wavering on a trip to Romania to go to Dracula's Castle) was going to be, as I stated on Facebook: Dress up as a chef named "Romaine." Stand next to a cardboard cutout of Nicki Minaj with a bowl of salad. Show guests at the party how well I toss Nicki Minaj's salad. If I was good at social media I am sure I could have parlayed that into a viral video/picture or something. (Like a Vine with the song playing or a picture with the words "On a scale of 1 to Romaine, how well do I toss your salad?" Something like that.)

Kids' candy bowl is getting low. I just tried a goat's milk based lollipop.

Wasn't bad until the end. Lasting aftertaste was pretty goat-y (reminiscent of goat cheese). Not horrible in any case, just different.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Thu Nov 20, 2014 11:13 am

I love goat cheese but I don't know that I want my candy tasting like it.

My GF has already told me that I'm going to have to do that every year now. The Parents, especially with young kids, were ecstatic. I would tell them "Remember what it was like? Pre-kids? Halloween on a Friday night?", and they'd get a wistful look on their face...
