So, you got Joe talked into a costume yet? I really like the Capt. Hook and Smee idea....or it could be Capt. Hook and Peter Pan....who looks best in tights??? You could post pics of both and let us choose between the legs!

Joe definitely has the nicer legs. In fact, body builders have gone up to him and asked what he does to make them so huge. All natural baby! They are indeed sight to behold!

My legs, on the other hand, are normal sticks that hold a body up. No big thang!

Now, about Capt. Hook and Smee. Joe'd be perfect as Smee. I, however, am just too "goody goody" or baby faced to pull it off.

My worst Hallowe'en costume was the year my mom turned me into a Christmas present<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_1_25.gif' border=0></a>. She put me in this big wrapped cardboard box, stuck my arms through some holes and plopped a big ol' bow on top of my head. It was humiliating<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_13_17.gif' border=0></a>, and very uncomfortable.<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_14_4.gif' border=0></a> Thanks mom.

My favorite was when I was finally allowed to run around with a group of my friends and we all dressed as - CHEERLEADERS - of course. <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/18/18_1_107.gif' border=0></a>

As for the QOTD, I have four favorite costumes. One as a kid, the other three as an adult.

1. Great Pumpkin - I made a HUGE pumpkin out of paper mache and wore it on my head. Cut a hole in a white sheet and wore that around me neck, draping my body. Was a big hit!

2. Michael Myers (Halloween slasher killer guy) - dressed as him, complete with the black boots, jumpsuit, knife and bloody bullet holes at the costume party at Pleasure Island. Was authentic enough that the security at the front entrance had to call the PI manager to make sure it was ok. Manager saw me, made me put the mask on, laughed, said, "COOL!" and let me in!

3. Prince Charming of course!

4. Went as Clark Kent turning into Superman one time on a boooo-ze cruise around Manhattan. I wore one of my suits, made a Daily Planet press badge, slicked up my hair with the one flip dangling down the forehead. Put a bent hangar in my tie to make it stay over my shoulder. Wore a blue t-shirt with the Superman logo under my dress shirt which I left wide open and untucked. Had a long red cape coming out of the back of my suit jacket. Also had an old pair of black glasses frames that I wore as well.
My friends I was with, including Joe, had spent a lot of money and time into their costumes. I spent about $20 and 5 minutes. I thought I looked like a *******.
We get onboard the boat, and total strangers immediately starting ooohing and aaahing and taking my picture. It was so cool! LOL!
Funny thing was that the cruise was hosted by a gay bar so LOTS of drag queens and guys stopped me to chat. Joe loved that!
Reason I did that costume is 'cause, without fail, whenever I wear my glasses (rarely), I always always always get called Clark Kent. Always happens.

I'm thinking about Tomb Raider for this yera but last year DBF and I were Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable(with a stuffed Rufus peeking from a Taco Bell bag)

I just love it when people without kids make such naive comments! There are days when you will do absolutely anything to buy a few moments' peace. If Teletubbies works, Teletubbies it is! (Noone said you had to stay in the room and watch it, too....) I'll be around in a few years to see how those words taste

You can take bets on it now if you want to, but I stick by my decision. THERE WILL BE NO TELETUBBIES IN THIS HOUSE. As you know we have plenty of other options in our DVD/Video/Laser library. And then there's the Disney Channel and Toon Disney, too.

I'd suffer through hours on end of Barney - which by the way I have with my nieces - but there's no budging this woman on the T's.

Sometimes I wonder if the true story behind Halloween is a bunch of parents who were bored one crisp fall night, realized they all had a bunch of candy going stale, and one of them said, "Hey! You know what would be REALLY funny? Let's make all of our kids walk the streets in the middle of the night begging for this crappy candy. It's gonna go bad anyway!"

And another parent said, "Yeah, but we should make them look REALLY REALLY stupid!"

Thus, the magic of Halloween was born unto us that day...

No samhain, druids or any of that nonsense. Just bored suburban parents.

Rick, YOU IS FUNNY TODAY!!!!

 

[llebrekniT]

Or you could go back to your old pirate ways, only with a new, hot hat!

And Rick could be your wench!

I'm thinking about this one for me, they call it the Tiger Lily! I love her!

Favorite Halloween costumes...

1. I went as a chalk outline, which I thought was pretty good. I found "CRIME SCENE" tape on a house that was burglarized near the subway and picked it up off the side walk (it was torn down already, everyone, relax, the police were done!!) and wore it over black clothing with masking tape all around me. I'd post that picture if I knew how to post a picture. It was kinda cool!

2. When I was a kid, I once went as Groucho Marx, complete with glasses, mustache and cigar. I loved that costume! I was about 8, I think.

3. My mother once dressed me up as Howdy Doody, (First Grade) which I absolutely hated! She must have went around the neighborhood and told all the neighbors to ooh and ahh over me, 'cause without fail, they all said how adorable I was. I still hated the Howdy Doody costume!

4. This is my FAVORITE HALLOWEEN STORY!! One year, when I went as a ghost, we went trick-or-treating by my cousins' house in Paramus, and this guy whose name was Jesus (not hey-sus, but Jesus) stepped on the back of my white sheet, tripping me up and he stole my bag of candy. I screamed to my brother "Pat! Jesus stole my candy!!" And my brother ran after Jesus, tackled him and got my candy back. That story always makes me laugh now. I think I'm the only person in the world that has ever, ever uttered those words!

5. One of my favorites, which was fun, was one year, Rick and I and two friends went as Mouseketeers. It was a riot! We walked through the streets of Greenwich Village on Halloween Night, following the NYC Halloween parade, and everywhere we went, we were met with M-I-C-K-E-Y!!

As for Rick as Superman, it was a great! He felt at first that everyone else was so over the top, and his was just lame, but then we got on the booze cruise and sure enough, Clark Kent was the hit of the cruise. (I have a photo of that, too, people!) It was great. Everyone kept telling him he looked just like Superman. They called him Dean Cain, and Clark Kent, and Superman all night long! He was just the hit of the boat, and when we first got there, he was all "This costume sucks!" and then, well, when a whole boatload of gay men and their favorite girl friends, and drag queens (dressed not to the nines, but the 90s!!) tell you that you look Fantastic, well, you have to sorta believe them.

KADATEN, thanks for the link. I will have to show it DH. Then he can cook for me.

ILUVTINK, you silly girl! Don't you know that Syracuse's Hancock International Airport is one of the worst places in the country to find a decent fair? If you have any ideas for me, I'm all ears . SYR has USAirways, Jet Blue, Delta, United, AA, TMA, and we are getting Independence this summer. No Southwest for us.

QOTD -- Well, the Baby on Board got lots of laughs because it was so sick and funny, but the Rhasta was good too. I went to the Rescue mission for my outfit. Brown polyester pants and a dress shirt with a brown argyle sleeveless sweater. I even had the dreadlocks and the berret. Then of course I carried around a HUGE doobie. (NOOOOO, it wasn't real! Sheesh!)

Worst was probably the Yosemite Sam costume, because the mustache itched so much.

I love your house!!! How's the weather in Maine this time of year?

 

[Bichon Barb]

mmmmmmmmmm lobster!

We went to Boothbay Harbor for vacation a few years ago.

Did I mention lobster?

BTW, DHB, I'm afraid to ask, but why did you think of me when you saw Shrek 2?

 

[Bichon Barb]

TALKISCHEAP, I got so involved with thoughts of lobster, I forgot to tell you that you have a beautiful home.

BTW, that would be Bahhhh Hahhhhbah.

 

[TalkisCheap]

Thanks...I don't really like my house...I hate the color!!



The weather is soooo nice! It's warm but not hot and it gets cool in the evening but not cold. It's been sunny almost every day and the windows are open and the breeze smells like lilacs....aaaah summer is almost here!
