Halloween costume ideas...

I forgot that it was Halloween, and thus didn't have a costume. Later, at a block party there was a costume contest. I entered myself as an apathetic teenager (I'm fifteen), and won. Two free movie tickets for me and my girlfriend. Very sweet.

Ditto Choops comment. The thing I hated most in Chicago was the roving groups of uncostumed older teenagers running the candy shakedown racket. We should be allowed to rocksalt the little bastards.

This is the most excellent thing.

As for the "costumed/uncostumed" thing -- I understand that it's beneficial for the older segments of the Trick-or-Treating population to actually wear costumes, but there's also an immense sense of shame connected. Not only are you extorting candy from people (sometimes people much younger than you, if it's a house where a little kid answers), you're doing it in such a way that, were it not for some vague assurance of holiday asylum, you'd get stared at and possibly targeted with rocks. That said, it's still fun.

People over 15 should not trick or treat. If you didn't get invited to a cool party, you're a loser and I'm not giving you any of the candy I bought for the cute little kids. And if you try any pranks, I'll shoot you in the face.

I entirely accept your thesis, AD, except for the part involving cool parties. To be invited to a cool party would involve one actually existing around here, which is basically never the case; parties around here are all either "sit around and drink desperately in an attempt to forget you have a paper due" or "dance to hideous music and pretend you don't have a paper due." Trick-or-treating is goddamned respectable.

Why don't you just climb up that mountain and sing some songs? That seems like the event of the year out there.

Better yet, transfer to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. They have the God-damndest halloween there. Usually a lot of arrests.

I would go up the mountain, but
a) Inertia, and
b) if this year's a capella groups were any indication, the only thing you're allowed to sing on the mountain anymore are hideous breakup songs. Blah.

No, no, see, "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" would be moderately cool. I'm talking about, like, "It Must Have Been Love (But It's Over Now)," which kind of sucks the air right out of a fun day in the outdoors.

Maybe you could sing "Broken Wings."

Yep

Wait a minute. Fountain, home to aligators in the 1950s? They can't just write that and not have an explanation.

I guess they want you to buy the book.

I would think that the mingling of Alligators and Mental Patients would have results not terribly different from Tequila and Machetes.
