Neato... I've seen a costume before where the person appears to have two heads, but that's not as good. Anyhow yes it is too early for Halloween. I feared it might take a month to get everything together. and I didn't want to order the cape and blazer online for 70 British pounds each. (Around $280 total? I'd be quite ashamed of myself)

Your costumes are awesome, BTW.

Thanks, ever seen The Prisoner? You might actually be old enough to have seen its original release, haha...

Haha nothin'! This from the newly 30 year old! Yes, I would have been old enough if my parents had any interest in BBC type productions. They didn't, more of the HeeHaw, Laugh-in set. I was more interested in Rocky and Bullwinkle at the time, myself. I've seen a few episodes since but don't remember a great deal except that it was weirdly enjoyable.

I saw The Prisoner back when they were showing episodes on the Sci-Fi Channel (of all places). I saw one episode on the Mystery Channel once, too, but never again. I enjoyed the show, although that ball thing freaked me out! :)

No Clowns On Halloween Allowed At My Door

Or "How Ronald McDonald Kicked My Ass" About ten years ago, shortly before Brenda and I got married, we attended a Halloween party at a friend's house. The primary reason to get together was obviously to dress up like we did when we were little but secondarily to get drunk as a sailor on shore leave. The standard "funny name" cocktails were offered like "sex on the beach" and "southern screw" and "raw sewage". Go »

Lucky Number 5

Brenda looked over my shoulder once to see what I was reading that made me chuckle. I told her it was an off-color joke involving the number 68. As it happened, she noticed that this joke appeared on page 68 of the book I was reading. Go »
