Halloween Costumes

Halloween is a great holiday. It's not just the decorative squashes, it's the insinuating that your sister-in-law has tentacles that makes it so great. But did you know that people also wear costumes? I still haven't figured out what I'm going to be yet, but here are some of my ideas:

1. The Confused Horse Group Costume

In this costume, I'd have to coordinate with a friend to both go as the back-end of a two-person horse costume. Then, while at the party, I'll get upset when someone asks and blame the other person for buying "the wrong half".

2. The Guy Doing Laundry

I won't shave for a few days, mess up my hair, and carry around a bag filled with my laundry. Then I'll make awkward small-talk with everyone.

3. The Ghost of Sai

I'll wear a big sheet over my head, and then put on some glasses and a necktie on top of it.

4. The Occupy Halloween

I'll dress like a protester carrying a sign that says "The top 1% control 99% of the world's candy!"

5. The Medical Student Terror

I won't wear a costume. When someone asks why I'm not wearing a costume, I'll ask them why they aren't studying.

Possible Halloween Costumes Involving Bow Ties

1. Unfriendly Waiter

Pros: I would be able to carry around silver tray and wear white dinner gloves.
Cons: People would actually think I'm a waiter.

2. Bruce Wayne

Pros: I could make a lot of references to "The Bat Man," and how I think he's ruining Gotham.
Cons: I may be called upon to participate in fisticuffs with any number of Heath Ledger Jokers at the party.

3. Best Man at a Wedding

Pros: I could congratulate everyone I meet and talk about the "crazy" bachelor party I organized "last night."
Cons: I am not familiar with the details of Best Man debauchery, and my costume will fall flat upon any inquiries.

This bow tie will be worn some time in the near future.
