You would not be able to see me until after the carnage was through. Or, Iā€™d dress as a chicken and carry a katana. ---

Iā€™ll just attend in my jammies. But Iā€™ll be sure to stay awake for Eveā€™s grand entrance. Too bad FireBoobsUnderpants isnā€™t still with us. That would have been one heckuva costume. ---

Well, seeing as my username is based on my real name, I guess Iā€™d just come as myself. But for something this big, Iā€™d have to figure out what my _definitive_ self is. Hmmm. Let me check my closet and get back to you. . . Oh, and **Scott** , if I find any kilts as Iā€™m going through my closet, Iā€™ll email you, mmkay? ---

My name comes from a story about an artificially intelligent missle. I guess that iā€™d wear black with guidance fins all around my feet and torso with a pointy nosecone on my head.\* \*ā€œdonā€™t get me angry. you wouldnā€™t like me when Iā€™m angry.ā€ ---

Well, I guess I could dress as normally as possible, for ironic effect. Or as a giant number 1 with an accordian and [this guyā€™s](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0946148/) hair. Yeah, Iā€™ll go for that second option. ---

[Like this](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/alby4299/detail?.dir=7241&.dnm=aead.jpg&.src=ph), of course. Except the hourglass would have to be bigger, and maybe add some sort of hooded robe. ---

I would literally be a distortion in the fabric of spacetime. Thus I would have total control over my appearance, able to refract, absorb and re-emit, and even red- and blueshift incoming light to show up anywhere from invisible, to topological display of spacetime curviness, to 40 performing bananas. ---

Iā€™d be a turtle, with small drawers built into my shell. Iā€™d be wearing a wizardā€™s hat and square spectacles, and probably carrying a wizardā€™s staff as well.
