I’ve got to find a polite way to bug my friend to upload his digital pictures so that I may show you all my clown costume and enormous penis.\*

\*I had several enormous penises that night. I sold two, gave a few away, one sprung a leak, and one exploded.

Took 'em in for developing tonight. (Yes, some of us still haven’t caught up with the digital age, be it through choice or the lack of $300 to drop on a decent camera.) My costume this year was Kakihara, from Takashi Miike’s “Ichi The Killer (Koroshiya 1)”. Pictures when I get 'em.

Seems I got a second costume out of it, too…I had to turn my hair blonde for Kakihara, and I was in a rush to get to work, so I swooshed it back into a quick n’ easy pompadour like I used to do Back In The Day™. Apparently, in doing so (and in wearing my trusty red silk shirt w/black leather jacket) I put on a pretty convincing Spike from Buffy; at least enough so that five different people at work called me on it. ‘Twasn’t intentional, I assure you. I snapped a couple horrible-quality pics with the ol’ cell phone, so you guys decide: [Pic 1](http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?image=btvssi3.jpg), [Pic 2](http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=btvs3ww2.jpg), [Pic 3](http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=btvs2pr5.jpg)

As usual, y’all are quite the creative bunch. I thought I put some time and effort into my costume, but I didn’t have to, you know, make anything.

And, Kimera and LunaV, may I just say…_wow_.

I didn’t go to any parties, but I won $50 at work for [EMAIL=http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a309/daithilacha/Zombie1.jpg]scariest costume! The one thing I didn’t anticipate was that the fake blood was REALLY sticky, and when it soaked into my shirt, it also adhered to my chest hair. The entire afternoon was spent with me slo-o-owly plucking out the hairs from my chestal region. Ah well – it made my glowering that much more realistic.

Bonus pic – me at the office, circa two years ago: [EMAIL=http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a309/daithilacha/evilupgrader1.jpg]El Diablo. 😃

Well, I didn’t take many photos on halloween - two, to be exact. You can see them [here](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/avarie537/detail?.dir=75b6scd&.dnm=1c97re2.jpg&.src=ph) and [here](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/avarie537/detail?.dir=75b6scd&.dnm=b3d8re2.jpg&.src=ph). Spencer is the dragon. The other kids are my nephews and niece.

I don’t doubt it. That photo alone actually made me start.

And btw, you used the tag instead of the tag in your original post. I fixed it in my quote. 😉

I finally got my hands on some pics.

Here is my wife and I, attending a Halloween party. She dressed up as your typical dead Asian horror movie girl (nightgown, long hair in face, you know the drill) and I went as an outdated party animal. I usually dress up as something scary but this year I was just coming up blank for ideas. So I went to the local Thrift store for ideas …

Pictures of hot babes and a chance to share my dark monk\* pictures? I’m all for that.

\*bishop’s crozier, and robes that reveal I’m actually Jewish.

**WhyNot** , that is _AWESOME_. I’ll be showing that pic to my fellow Browncoats.

Here’s an extremely unflattering picture of [me](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/amethyst111/detail?.dir=/57b6re2&.dnm=74f1re2.jpg&.src=ph) in my PotC2 costume. Unfortunately the outfit was a little too authentic – many people thought I was a Minuteman. :smack: Guess I should have been a slutty, stiletto-wearing pirate after all.

Thanks… we cheated. We printed then cut 'em out. It was fun. I never was allowed to celebrate Halloween as a kid (it’s the devil’s day according to my mom).  
Here’s a tip - a scroll saw blade makes carving a pumpkin so easy!
