Never did get last years pics online.   Never will.  My wifes choice to go as Peter Pan and Wendy just didn't pan out well on my end.

That is, to say, the costume barely covered MY END.  I guess thats a payback for last year, when I got to pick and she was a medieval wench to my knight.

Haven't had time this year - although I can always root around and pull out one of the past few years costumes.  We'll see how motivated I am tonite.

Remember this is an odd year so it is a female year. I altername costume genders between the years. And yes this is just a once a year thing.

The thing is...it's ME in there!  not really Pac-Man! 
but seriously...c'mon...what's having some beers on Saturday night?  I'm pretty the REAL Pac-Man had an addiction to those "power pills"  sounds like roids to me.  had to cheat to beat the ghosts.....or maybe it was viagra..that's why the ghosts turned blue when you at them....hmm....that's all the darker side of Pac-Man.  I prefer to think of him as the father of Jr. and Baby Pac.  he had matured by then and kicked his dirty old habbits.  at least in my warped mind.

Scary that a prime time televised show could only get chicks of that quality.  I can find chicks of that quality at the supermarket.  British chicks not only ain't all that, they don't even know what that is.

I went to Salem, Massachusetts last night...UN-FREAKIN'-BELIEVABLE. It was like the Mardi Gras of Halloween, I've never seen so many people in costume, it was wall-to-wall people for 5-6 city blocks, had to be at least 10-20 thousand. The weather was perfectly warm and dry. I regret not having a camera with me, as some of the costumes were pretty cool, and the women..OMG...there were so many scantily clad hot chicks, it was like a free night at the strip club.

It was a last mintute decision, and I regret not having a costume (ya, even though it's may absolute favorite night of the year, I lamed out because I couldn't get any plans together...never again!)...but it was worth it in the end.

I'll try to post up my costumes from previous years, as soon as I can dig out the photos.

I imagine Halloween is always that crazy there. I never imagined the whole city being packed, and secured for foot traffic only though.

Pretty cool. I'm definitely going next year. I bet you may be sick of it though.

Salem is very one sided... all funds and efforts go to tourism.  The school system is pathetic, the nontourist areas are crumbling, and it has only become more one sided over the last decade.  It looks like a great place if you stay in the areas with restaurants and museums, but if you go to the residential areas, you will see an immediate change in the condition of roads and buildings.

Logically, the residents tend to have quite a bit of resentment towards the tourists.

When my brother was in middle school in the mid 90s, they weren't even allowed to take their textbooks home.  The books were so falling apart, and they had no money for more, that the school decided it better to not give homework to grades 6-8 for a full year than to risk losing the books.

That same year, the town built a new parking garage downtown for tourists and didn't charge a dime to park in it.

Half the people I graduated HS with were barely literate and the dropout rate was astounding.

It's not a real email(not to me anyway), so don't bother sending my Viagra emails.  If for some reason they catch on and block it, you can create a new user without using a real email, they won't send a notification.

My photos didn't make the site, but you can tell what costumes the webmaster was looking for.

Well, my wife vetoed my quicky costume idea.

I found an old Winnie-the-Pooh costume we had laying around (the full body kind).  Took an old E-Collar one of our dogs wore when he had surgery, stuck it around Pooh's neck, and wrapped bandages around Pooh's crotch.

I never even made it out the door.

At least Bob Barker would've been proud of me.

The e-collar is something used to keep animals from biting at body parts, i.e. after surgery.  Looks like this:

Add the bandaged crotch...

Man, I guess if noone is getting the joke I was better off not wearing it.  I'da probably looked like pedophile pooh or something.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking with the bandages, that someone (oh, maybe, could it be maybe eeyore, [church lady voice]or maybe.......SATAN![/church lady voice]) had done Pooh bear so badly that he needed bandges. Kinda like a gang-bang thing.

Yeah, Good thing you turfed the idea.... ;)

Here's the "costume" I've worn for years.  The kids either actually love it, or are kind enough not to make open fun of me while I have it on.

Sorry about the photoshop'd sweatshirt...
