What president should I go as to the President's day party?

If you’re going with a male friend / partner, he could go as Reagan and you as Thatcher. Or pick a 19th century president and go as Queen Victoria.

Hmmm… were there any female signatories to the Declaration of Independence?

No, but Button Gwinnett was something of a ponce.

Go as McKinley – a suit and a bullet hole. :slight_smile:

This joke is funny for McKinley, less so for Lincoln, and not at all for Kennedy. Such are the ethos of America.

Isn’t that pretty much universally true? It ain’t exactly a low-stress job, after all. Besides, didn’t he start off on the weathered side?

I remember Carter looking young and fresh in 1976. In 1980, the change in him was more visible than in any other president I’ve seen.

I see in Cecil’s Classic online today, he lists Madison as 5’4". I’m certain I’ve read 5"0" before, but that doesn’t mean the source was correct.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Right now I’m leaning towards: Millard Filmore (no costume needed), Grant (drinking can be arranged) and Teddy Roosevelt (though I think the only big stick I have is a plastic mop handle, it would be useful on the walk from the red line stop).

So, which president were you?

Grant. The best outfit was the girl who went as Taft, who wore a moustache and pillow-stuffed gut and had a styrofoam cooler with a presidential seal on it strapped to her butt (for the bathtub).

Aww, I was going to say LBJ and you could;

Show off your operation stitches.
Carry a basset hound by the ears.
Strap a toilet to your bum.
Keep sending more people the to the kitchen for Vietnamese food.
Later, realize that was a bad idea.
