Does anyone out there have any audio of the Westmoreland Variations that me and Pete Grubbs did at DuckCon a few years back? That's one of my great filk memories, with a fantastic callback the next day.
Not familiar with Spuffy... don't worry about the physical attributes, if you can get the accent and a leather jacket your wife will have to beat women off with umm...a stake.
We had a potluck one year for Halloween and were asked to bring scary foods. I went the easy route: got a quart of hummus and added green food coloring.
A lady named Oksana had the best one, though. She did deviled eggs. But instead of slicing them longways, she sliced and stuffed them through the top. Then on top of each, she placed the bottom slice from a tomato. Then decorated the tomato with mayo or sour cream dots from a pastry bag. Stand them upright in the deviled egg platter and surround with greenery and Voila! you've got a lovely grove of poisonous mushrooms.
One Halloween I brought the Whizzo Quality Assortment into the office. Ordinary candies, procured from the Bulk Foods aisle, but labeled with their descriptions from the Monty Python routine....
I once brought roadkill to a scary food potluck. Some turkey jerky with cranberry sauce under it. Actually pretty tasty if you could get past the appearance.

Anyone know where to find a pair of red and white striped tights?

"Unh! Holy -- UNH! -- Holy CUD, J.T.! I can't get free!"
"Well, my young friend, you wanted to see cow orking up close."
"Yeah, but not this close! [braaaaap] -- Eeugh! What's that smell!?"
"Methane, L.J. Time is running out. Quickly -- hand me that stool!"
"... Okay...." [plop]
"The milking stool, L.J."
"Oh. Sorry...."

I'd go as the REAL Batman, the ADAM WEST version!
"And I'd go a-ROUND all day... talking... in an overly PONDEROUS TONE!"
And if my kid brother agreed, I'd have him be Robin! :)
