I recently updated my Facebook status to: Susane is bummed that she’s too old for trick-or-treating. Some comments came back insisting that you’re never too old. But really? If I showed up at your door with my pillowcase, would you give me a fun size Milky Way?
And what would I be?
Some costume ideas that come to mind are on the obscure side. Like this one:
I could go as an eyeball fish! This is actually a photo of microscopic marine life near Hawaii. That’s a swordfish on the left and a sunfish on the right. I’d go as the sunfish. Photo by David Liittschwager.
Or I could go as Honk-Honk-Ashoo:
Isn’t he so cute? He’s a pillowhead from the book by Ralph Cosentino.
The ultimate costume would be to go as the Pam half of Jim and Pam:
Except SP doesn’t watch The Office. And we’re going to see Speed-the-Plow tonight, so we can’t be anything anyway.
What are you going to be?
Halloween Costume
Right now (for work) I am a zombie school teacher (ruler to rap knuckles included), which is fun since I work at the Dept. of Ed.
Tonight I will be Blanch Hudson from _Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?_ (wearing the “school teacher” part of my zombie school teacher outfit). A friend is going to be Baby Jane. I’ve even glued a decoy hunting bird to a plat and will be surrounding it will kale tonight.
You could always be a zombie…just some white concealer and purple eyeshadow (and some red lipstick for blood), and no one can question your clothing choice.
Or you could put a nametag on your shirt that says “Dave” and you could be Dave, like Jim from the Office did last night.
Re: Halloween Costume
Nice transition for your costume! I loved Jim’s first Halloween costume back in season 2. Three-hole-punched Jim.
Happy Halloween

Re: Happy Halloween
Like, hanging out of your mouth, all bloody and mangled! Eeew!
Happy Halloween! I am so jealous that you get to see Raul Esparza in Speed-the-Plow. He is so darn talented!
I’m a big Jeremy Piven fan. And I love all that is David Mamet!
I would love to go trick or treating for the rest of my life. I would be so bored just sitting around waiting for kids to come and hand out candy.
i dont like to buy those really expensive costumes at party city so i make my own costumes. Last year, i was a twister board. I cut out the twister board mat thing and made it into a dress. then i taped the twister spinner thing on a cardboard circle and made it into a hat.
I hope you had a good halloween!

Twister board! Totally brill! Making quirky costumes like that is way better than the standard dreck. Love your creativity
My best friend wanted to go as three hole punch Jim, too. Plus: it’s easy!
