I’m the guy hanging around the game room waiting for anyone will to play a game and willing to put up a little cash. Name your poisen, pool, darts, poker, cribbage. If things are slow in there I’ll go hang around bonfire and make my campfire fajitas.

Well, at least you’ll have your caterpie soon, Obs…I have to wait till March for BabyMetal to make his/her arrival. We’re supposed to find out at the next sonogram (tenatively scheduled for Oct 21) if it’s a boy or girl.

Mmm…did somebody mention fajitas? WHERE?  
waddles off carrying a bottle of St.Pauli Girl, the faux beer of choice, in search of fajitas topped with melted marshmellows, sour cream and raspberry vinagrette dressing…

I’m going for Antique Baddies, and dressed as a Highwayman. Well, a highwaywoman. Knee breeches, vest, waistcoat, frilly shirt with lace cravat, and three-cornered cocked hat. Oh, and don’t forget the brace of flintlock pistols (unloaded, of course!), and the sword sheathed at my side. I’m rather fond of first producing pistols, then producing rapier, and saying “Stand and deliver!” when I want another drink…

I’m on an upstairs balcony making out with **Gunslinger** because I’m too shy to talk to anybody I don’t already know - except to accost them at arms and demand candy and drink.

me and the SO come in as ghostbusters…looking for the staypuff marshmellow man to shoot with our silly string proton packs (he is actually building these as it is really our costume for this haloween) after stringing the staypuff marshmellow, we head for the beer, and really start rocking at this party, kinda like NYC at the end fo the movie 😉

Not dressed at all figuring that while everyone is laughing and pointing at my rather small appendage they will ignore the fact that a 1920s style death ray is clamped between my ass cheeks and any minute now I’m gonna zap the lot of you with the exception of the most comely wench in the place.  
She will be EVER so grateful that I spared her that the rest of the evening will be spent showing her gratitude 😉

don’t have much money this year, so will be dressed as Ann Coulter since I look a bit like her (not as pretty though).

What room?  
Upstairs!

Doing?  
Looking out windows, drinking Kahlua!

I’m in the kitchen making some hors d’ ouerves. Did I spell that right? The Sam Adams is getting to me. _Burp!_ Darn, I don’t want **NoClueBoy** to hear that on the back porch, he wouldn’t call me a Doper babe anymore! Ah, they’re coming out of the oven now, little Greek inspired things, filo pastry wrapped around a mix of spinach and feta cheese.

I’m wearing a costume based on a party I went to years ago “Come as your favorite saint.” See, I’m wearing a halo, with doggy ears and a mini-keg around my neck. St. Bernard of course!

😕 What the hell is tape floss?

Anywho, on to the party. I’m dressed in my Psi Cop uniform (from _Babylon 5_), I’m in the conservatory, and I used the candlestick… er, I mean, I’m flirting shamelessly with **matt\_mcl** and **Potter** while entertaining all the queer Dopers with amusing anecdotes. 😉

OMG, **RTFirelfy** you owe me a new keyboard, this one is covered in pop.

I think I’ll go as Bridezilla in honor of all my bestest buds last year, this year and next year.

ROAR.

I’ll be outside, cause this lizard head is hot!

Refilling my punch I find my way to the snack area and just stand there and nibble at whatever looks good, talking to whoever wanders by.
