Wow - I've been so busy preparing for all the big Scamper gigs coming up in November (check out the SHOWS section for details) that I completely forgot that the big ol' holiday is coming up. Whatever am I going to be for Halloween?
It's always been of paramount importance to me that on any particular Halloween, I am virtually guaranteed to be the only one in the entire world sporting my particular costume. Call it ego, call it what you will. Call me old fashioned, call me over the hill.
So far, I only have come up with one idea: I'm thinking of going as pitcher Ted Lilly after a plane crash. I'm positive this one is unique, plus it has the added bonus of kickstarting the following conversation with fellow partygoers:
Partygoer: So who are you supposed to be?
Me: Ted Lilly after a plane crash.
Partygoer: But... I thought Corey Lidle was the one in the plane crash.
Me: Yeah, I know but when they both pitched for Oakland, I used to get them mixed up all the time. So... Boo!
Partygoer: What are you doing?
Me: I'm Ted Lilly haunting you from beyond the graaaaave!
Partygoer: But Ted Lilly's not dead.
Me: Beyoooooond the graaaaaaaaave!
Partygoer: Yeah. I'm going to go talk to that guy now.
Not great, but it's all I've got right now. Let's get a little creative brainstorming going. What's everyone else going as for Halloween?

Tony and I had a discussion about this.
I came up with either being a Cory Lidle plane crash "I was in the apt" survivor or a rape victim. Both are easy and just require me to rip up or burn a few pieces of clothing that I don't wear.
Smurfette and Margot Tenanbaum were also on the list.
I will probably end up with a tiara or cat ears on (which would be a bit ironic)
or a rape victim
Classy!
Halloween is a great time to be something you never are in real life.
That said, I think you should go as a guy who's not a horrible fucking douchebag.
Just saw this in a Myspace bulletin:
3. What was the lamest costume you've ever seen?
- brendo as "the guy who wears really crazy pants."
Awesome.

Technically, the costume was "Guy Who Is Really Good At Everything Except Pants Shopping."
a rape victim
Did I suggest this?
Did I suggest this?
No. I came up with it on my own, cause all I had to do was rip up some old clothes and smear some make up on my face.
You helped with Smurfette and Margot.
