I’d have to wear a purple & yellow flower costume – the middle aged & slightly crazy would be obvious. :rolleyes: Man, I _really_ need a new name. ---

I’ll be the one dressed like [this](http://www.wantedcowgirls.com/DangerousNan.html). Sans Frank Morgan. ---

Wrapped up in, oh, let me think, wrapped up in, damn, it’s on the tip of my tongue. Crap! Can someone post and help me out? Whatever it is, there’ll be 153 others, similarly attired. ---

Gee, **quiltguy154** , wrapped in a coverlet??? Just guessing. Me, I’d have my pruners, weeder and a trowel in one of those geeky gardener aprons and I’d be carrying a suitcase. And a camera. GT ---

> [@cruel butterfly](#): > > …you were required to come dressed as your username, what would your costume look like? Hmm. Based on the most common appearance, it would probably be an East European military dress uniform circa 1925-1935. ---

I’d wear a dry suit, BCD, air tank, and at least 20 pounds of lead. Would someone please give me some help just _standing up straight_??? ---

I’d come with vampire teeth and a t-shirt that says, “Ho ho ho, now I have a machine gun too!” I’d also wear pink bows in my hair. (since my name ends in -ia and all) Very few people would smile in acknowledgement and I would ultimately end up regretting the trip. _insert Debbie Downer sound_ ---

Sampiro is Albanian for “vampire”, so I’d come in [Byron’s Albanian costume](http://seell.rutgers.edu/Pushkin_05/web-content/Images/Byron.jpg) with of course vampiric contact lenses and dentist made subtle fangs (the type that allow you to eat). ---

I’d be dressed as a cheap aluminum table with vinyl-padded chairs around me, and I’d have an enormous umbrella hat. ---

> [@Patty O'Furniture](#): > > I’d be dressed as a cheap aluminum table with vinyl-padded chairs around me, and I’d have an enormous umbrella hat. Make sure they’re the tacky kelly green ones with shamrocks and harps printed on them from a “genyoowine Irish Pub”! 😃 ---

Would just ears and tail be enough, or would I have to make a blue catsuit? Or just make sure it’s one of those depressed days.
