Jesus Don't Want Me For a Sunbeam
My experience with costume stores has been abysmal. I just got back from Costumes Creative to find a replacement for the troll costume I tried to order online. I called ahead of time to see if they had a troll; they did, cool.
I get there and ask:
"Do you have a troll costume?"
"A troll?"
"Yeah, a troll. Ya know, like Senator Larry Craig?"
"Huh?"
"I called and was told you have a troll in stock."
"We don't have any trolls."
"Yes, you do. I'm looking at him."
"Huh?"
"Nevermind."
This guy was the worst customer sales representative I have experienced in a long time.
So I looked around for something, and made a couple purchases. The unhelpful troll rang me up. Not even a thank you.
I'm either gonna be Jesus or a Werewolf. I still have a couple hours to decide. If I'm gonna be Jesus, I need to borrow a crown of thorns and some pink panties.

My buddy J came up with a great last minute costume for a Halloween party thrown by a regular guy kinda guy:
Levi's, work boots, a navy blue polo shirt, and a photo blown up on the office copier and made into a mask on a stick.
The photo was the face of the guy throwing the party; she went as the host! There's still time...

Maybe a werewolf-jesus?? I wanted to do a group costume of a double-dutch squad... maybe next year.

You could always go as a ho, even if it's a bit cold for just Ferragamo boots and sparkly bra. That and people might think you were Condi's adopted sister. Or just wear those "broken boxers" and nothing else. Paris thinks that would be totally HOT.

Considering how much these jobs pay these days, its a wonder he was breathing. Sadly, being rude seems to the norm these days. It's always more fun to go as a martyr. I vote for Jesus

You could have just not gotten a costume and gone as the Werewoof.
But your costume tonight was great, although you were walking like the fumes from the mask were making you high.
dBud: And you were so purty! I was walking funny because I couldn't see out of the mask.
