Free Halloween sock puppets, only slightly soiled

Instead of trying to squeeze into that Spiderman costume yet again (face it, it's over), why not use the power of technology to construct a virtual costume instead?

Register a sock puppet account and post away. (Email confirmation is disabled, so feel free to use a fake email address.) There's no limit on the number of accounts people can have, so feel free to experiment. It's surprisingly fun. (The first year we did this I was Hank Venture: trying to post with his wide-eyed naivete was harder than I expected, but deeply rewarding.) People have already come up with some incredibly creative costumes. Wikipedia is my personal favorite, with Sarah U Betcha and Ted, from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure as close runners-up.

It really is the most fun you can have on the Internet without taking off your pants.
