Obscure Halloween costumes? Got you covered.

In high school, a friend went as an obscure character with no lines from a Federal Express commercial. He also had a shopping cart covered with papers which was "The Paper Blob" chasing him. From another Federal Express commercial.

Some time later, I went to a party in New York City where a guy was dressed as the Federal Budget Deficit. How did he do that, you ask? He was draped in blank checks made out for billions of dollars and covered in RED TAPE. Geddit?

Here I was, racing through an airport, doing that corporate America 16 hour work day thing , when I saw the CNN headline on one of the hanging Samsungs; "Mexicans Against Fence". I had no idea what the context or the content was and lo and behold, I get home, log on the blog and am presented with up to the minute pictorial evidence. You are the best.

Gareth, shouldn't you have fuzzed out the faces of those illegals? When the next government check comes, they might get internet and hunt you down.

We went to a halloween street party last night, best costume: The 2 main characters from The Birds. Worst costume: The thousands of guys dressed in drag.
Regarding the two things:
1) No, I don't think they're trying to kill me (except when they run red lights 4 seconds too late when I'm on my bike and then yell at me in Spanglish). Then again there is a statistically proven higher chance that they are trying to kill me, unless the interweb is lying to me....you know with the tubes an all that. But they really do piss me off because in a span of 20 years they've turned Van Nuys into a disgusting cesspool from what was apparently a great American working class neighborhood.

2) Remember when people were getting capped for their Air Jordans? That started it all. The Air Jordan brand is still huge here, it's really weird. I see new cars in LA with the big Air Jordan sticker on it. Still. Air Jordan.

Trust me, more people got your andrew w.k. than they got our dressing up as blane and andie from pretty in pink. next year i'm going to go as the main character from my favourite book in grade 3, Chocolate Fever.

Gareth, two things:
1. Is it just me or is every single one of those illegal immigrants planning on killing you?!
2. If you go walking around in public with those white headphones you most definitely have a 1 in 9 chance of getting capped.

Again Chris? And isn't it "sharted"?

You think no one will get the Mac user costume?
Try going to Elwood's dressed as Andrew W.K. A lot more "huh?" and a lot less "awesome!" than I expected.
