What Did You Dress Up As?

What’s the fuss? You expected me to work on Halloween?
Seriously. . . I am serious. But the kids are gone, so I’m getting back to writing. Oh, and next year, my costume will be Night of the Living Dead Attorney.
NOTE: If Halloween had presents, it would be even better than Christmas.
Nah, Christmas still wins. Halloween may have free candy, but Christmas involves more liquor. If you’re lucky, it also involves gifts for the significantly-attached-other™ of the Victoria’s Secret variety.
I’m going to have to respectfully disagree, Mr. Lion. This Halloween involved more liquor than should ever be consumed by sane human beings. I was unable to even look at a beer for 5 days afterward, and my liver has gone on permanent strike.
Don’t get me wrong, Christmas is great. I like getting presents. But I have never been as completely sloshed as I was at the Halloween party.
I’ve also found that, if there is a hot tub nearby, you can easily get a show of the Victoria’s Secret variety, without actually having to purchase anything!
I just got home from playing bass on stage for the first time in my life. I dressed as a schmuck, and pulled it off way more convincingly than I ever wanted to. Oog.
My mother thinks every holiday is a gift giving one. My kids got DVDs – for Halloween!
As far as the liquor goes, once the kids were out of their costumes and in bed and the shaving cream was cleaned off my car, my husband and I got shitfaced and ate all the kids’ candy.
I dressed up as a guy who develops algorithms for targeting pods. Pretty freakin scary, if you ask me. But the bit of toilet paper kept falling off my shoe.
Halloween is better precisely because there are no presents, only lots and lots of chocolate.
I dressed up like Bowser from Mario Brothers, did a pretty groovy job on the costume I must say, but haven’t gotten any pictures yet. The wife went as Peach, so I kidnapped her all night.

Halloween > Christmas
