What should I be for Halloween?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I’ve been racking my brain trying to think up truly frightening costumes for this coming Halloween. I’m far too old to go trick-or-treating, but I still like getting into the spirit of things and keeping my reputation for eccentricity.

The following are ideas that have been running around inside my head for a while. Please comment on them or add your own suggestions.

My ideas:
Charles Manson
Advantages: This would be relatively easy because all I would need to do is 1) be lazy and not shave, 2) draw a crude swastika on my forehead with something that is easy to wash off.
Disadvantages: If swastika doesn’t wash off easily, may be in for embarassing social situations. With beard, I’ll look even more like a vagrant than usual; may be arrested for loitering.

Windows XP
Advantages: Just need a large cardboard box that I can color and draw the Windows XP logo on. Very easy to tell what it is I’m supposed to be.
Disadvantages: Nobody will get it. I’ll spend hours just explaining that Windows XP is just the latest attempt by a monopolistic software company to limit blah blah blah. Will most likely get beat up by people with cooler costumes.

Anthropomorphic Ball of Anthrax Spores
Advantages: I just need to strip naked and roll in powdered sugar. Simple, and at the end of the night I can lick myself clean.
Disadvantages: When I get arrested for causing a panic, a policeman may confuse me with a donut and attempt to eat me.

When people talk about you, they’ll say you’re a “fun guy”.

Simplicity, this year. I have a blue satin ball gown,
that I’m going to wear with little red horns, pointed tail, a red satin cape, etc. Devil in a Blue Dress.
Maybe my boyfriend can throw on a tshirt and khakis,
go roll around in the back yard, put a few brown makeup
smudges on his face. Top off with a pitchfork and little
red horns. Dirt Devil.

Or he could crawl under the bed a couple times and go as a Dust Devil.

Or get some rabbit ears and a cotton ball=Dust Bunny!

Or-wait-brainstorm… Horny Devil? What would signify
the “horny”, other than some sort of protruding poor-taste
prosthesis, which would not be the wisest choice for the
cancer clinic office party? Any ideas anyone?
