So I was thinking about dressing as Caylee Anthony for Halloween (a garbage bag and duct tap. I asked this girl I’m interested in dating about it. I think we have similar dark senses of humor. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. I knew Caylee when she was a baby and am still friends with people involved in that situation.” Well… that was awkward. ---

Oops. That’s almost a perfect 10 on the date-kill axis. ---

It’s all about the spin.. “I had some misgivings about this, but people seem to get away with so much that I thought someone might find it funny.

I have a pretty dark sense of humor, but that costume idea is awful. Seriously - a dead kid? Not funny, man. ---

Yep, to hell for sure, **Snarky Kong**. Don’t get rid of your costume though. Just go as a crap idea you should have kept to yourself. ---

She’ll probably still go out with you but rest assured… you won’t be makin’ any babies. ---

It’s probably a good thing I won’t go as Caylee Anthony. If my mom found out, she’d kill me. ---
