What were the best halloween costumes you saw this year?

I'm always trying to plan ahead for next year...what were some of the good costumes you saw this year? I saw lots of girls in wedding dresses w/ guys in tuxes as Darva Conger and Rick whats-his-name, and I saw a couple as Jack (from the Jack in the Box ads) and his wife, where the girl wore one of those strap-on-baby carriers w/ a little Jack-in-the-Box head doll...it was cute. The prize for the least tasteful goes to the guy dressed as a terrorist with dynamite strapped to his waist and a t-shirt that said "Yemen Rules".

Heh, heh. I like it. Arabs must be popular this year. A friend of mine dressed up as a character he called "Yas-sir Atsafact." He told the women he was willing to discuss "a peace" at any time or place and offered free "camel rides...a differet hump, for sure." Lame, but funny, if you drank enough of the free scotch.

The best one this year, if you don't count mine, was from a guy who works for me. Maybe this isn't news anywhere else in the country, or maybe you won't know if you don't follow hockey, but just days after becoming the NHL's all time winningest goalie, Patrick Roy was arrested on a domestic violence charge. No one was hurt, he and his wife were in a heated argument, he damaged some doors inside their house, she called 911 but hung up. So my guy Skip dressed in a Roy jersey and carried a full-size punched-in door to which he had handcuffed himself. This in absolutely no way was meant to make light of true domestic violence, but it was a Patrick Roy satire, and a biting one at that.

The best one I saw was an angel. This chick at a party we went to had made her own angel costume. She had a bra-like top covered with white feathers, and then these huge wings she's made with coat hanger wire, pantyhose, poly-fill, and more white feathers. It was absolutely gorgeous. And she said they were lightweight, too.

Brian J as a trailer-trash housewife kicked ass, too. At his party, he wore this ultra-fabulous brown and orange check polyester dress straight from Carol Brady's closet. He had a big honey-blonde wig and a round, pregnant belly. And spooky fake teeth. It was so horrifyingly cool.

And then these five guys showed up dressed as zebras or zebra men -- they had zebra-print pants, then zebra stripes painted on their torsos and faces. And they each had a fall of bleach-blonde and black striped hair on one half of their heads... I can't even describe it. But it was fabulous that they all showed up in a little herd or tribe and didn't speak much at all. They just walked in, all in a line, and then started dancing and making out and stuff. And then they got kicked out, because they weren't on good terms with the host. They're burned into my brain, though.

There are the zebras. If you follow the arrows around, you might see a picture of me. Don't let that stop you from looking at the zebras, though.

The Zebra's get the Blue Ribbon in my book. I liked the ketchup package too. And Gwen...you look absolutely Wagnerian. (You didn't get kazooked and decide to er, pillage anyone, did you?)

WARNING: If you took something for your cold that is making you feel kind of stoned, DO NOT go look at the Zebra Men. Trust me on this.

Go away, Bad Zebra Men. Get out of my head!

I might have pillaged Paul if he hadn't been so hungover. I made do with whacking a couple of people with my axe.

A lot of guys wanted to hit my armor. I was like, "Okay, that didn't hurt, but if you break my plastic armor, I'll kick your ass."
