Keep everyone from eating the crab dip. 

"I can't explain it, Daniel, but...you just have to trust me.  I know it must sound...crazy...but...that crab dip...it will ruin your life.  Don't ask me how I know...I just...know." 



Good idea, but pick something really tasty and expensive, then eat it all yourself.

You'll have to start the Sam costume a few moments AFTER you arrive at the party.

"Oh hey JL!  Good to see you!"
"Hi!  Yea, here I brought you some ... Oh boy."

Last year I tied an electrical cord around my ##### and wore a shirt with holes in it and was a bum.

The year before that I wore my trusty Liverpool kit and went as a football fan.

The first time I ever did mushrooms was on halloween.  I recommend doing those in a haunted house, for those who are able.  Now a'days I just get drunk, although I guess the whole pregnancy thing kills all of my ideas.

I am not sure what to be for Halloween. A couple years ago I made a Bishop costume. I made the miter out of posterboard and cut out felt Chi/Ro Greek letters to paste to it. I made a shepherd's crook out of these weird little plumbing widgets I got at the hardware store, and made a robe out of a sheet with a felt cross glued to it. Everyone was really impressed, the costume looked a lot nicer than the sum of its parts. I'm also really anal-retentive, and it took me about 3 hours to cut and assemble the whole thing.

Lizzie wants to be Dora the Explorer for Halloween.  You have no idea how much I want to say "Dammit, do NOT be frickin' Dora, have some originality."  But I don't want to crush my little girl's spirit.

Speaking as kid who did the most batshit insane costumes I could come up with for most of school (I am fairly certain I was the only 9-year-old girl ever to be Groo the Wanderer for Halloween): originality is overrated. Creative costumes will just get a lot of "who are you" ... ohh."

Dammit, with a response like that, maybe I should redo the Groo costume for this year/the next time I get invited to a Halloween party with nerds. It'd be some sweet, sweet vindication.

Be prepared for marriage proposals from nerds.

Be prepared for your father to be offered great dowries of low-numbered Star Trek toys.

Be prepared for this. It is important.

Yeah, ideally, the leap occurs as the front door opens.  Preferably to someone in a bizarre costume, so I can react accordingly.  I just don't know if I'm a good enough actor to pull this off with a straight face.  Also, I don't have six Ph.D.s, nor do I play piano. 

Pedro could do it, easy, but he's decided to be a "hostage," whatever that means.  (I'm trying to convince him to wear a sweater with holes across the chest that spell "courage mom" in morse code.  I am the queen of jokes nobody gets.)
