Halloween

[dubheach.livejournal.com]

If you could be anything for Halloween, what would it be?

I'm going to be the Wicked Wench of the West.
Anyone know where to find a pair of red and white striped tights?

I saw some toes socks in walgreens that were red and white striped.

If I were thin enough, I'd go as Reed Richards. Unfortunately, I'm not, so it's the Baxter Building.

What about the Wicked Wench of the Westmoreland?

Re: Halloween

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.

I'd dress up as a postal worker. My cow orkers are convinced I'm going to go postal one day anyway so why not spice up their lives a little?:)

And now, the adventures of Jaded Thrillseeker -- COW ORKER! (Dunh-DUNH!) "MooooOOOO!"

When last we left Jaded and his wayward alter-ego L.J., they were trapped beneath a recalcitrant Guernsey that had sat on their shins....

"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...."

If I could be anything for Halloween? Winner of the previous Saturday night's lottery jackpot, I think.

Hmmm.... anything? Then I'd like to be Emma Peel.

I'd go as Batman.

But not the new, scary Batman... oh, NO!

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! :)

I swear, he and William Shatner went to the same classes...

I'd be Spike, since my wife has recently become a major Spuffy fan. :-) I don't have the body (or enough hair) to carry it off properly, though. :-)

Re: Halloween

[dubheach.livejournal.com]

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.

Preferably not the pointy end of the stake.

If I could be anything? TALL.

Ahhhhh, but remember what they say about diamonds and dynamite...

Apparently it's National Poetry Day in the UK. May all you poets there get the respect you deserve and may that be a lot!

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Well, goodness. That certainly deserves a link (_blank).

Halloween Food

[janet-coburn.livejournal.com]

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.
