Helen I'm too modest to go as Lady Godiva. I'll wear my nudesuit.

helen, careful, now -- you COULD have a lot of people offering to go as the mule, although your own mule would hopefully win out or he could get very depressed. (In fact, it's a good thing your e-mail's probably not real.) You know, in fact, Woody Allen really did a bit about a moose wandering into a Halloween party and winning second prize in a contest for best costume. He lost out to a Jewish couple -- dressed as a moose.

Well, Lars -- me? I do tend to get very creative; I'll try to get back to ya on it, though.

Hey, I know a great scary costume for a child, though, depending on the situation and who's answering the door: Dress him up in his regular clothes and coat, give him a huge suitcase and put a very prominent sign around his neck that says, "HI, DAD!" (parents, please be nearby to readily defuse any difficult situations that may arise from this)

Oh, and a little blast from the past...

(Some of the) Top Ten Signs You're Too Old to Be Trick or Treating

(with some really lame ones edited out by Eve to minimize your risk of not being fully entertained as you peruse the list)

You get winded from knocking on the door.

You have to have another kid chew the candy for you.

When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over.

People say, "Great Keith Richards mask!" and you're not wearing a mask.

When the door opens you yell, "Trick or..." and can't remember the rest.

By the end of the night, you have a bag full of restraining orders.

You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker.

I'm going to grow a beard and go as either Al Gore or Janet Reno.

Lorelei, are there male nude suits? Do they come in different "sizes"?

-- (nemesis@awol.com), October 31, 2001.

Hey, I like the nudesuit idea! (does it come in sickly green?)

I'm still wondering how many will come. I bought three big bags of candy because we had so many little goblins come last year, but I talked to my neighbor today and she was limiting her kids to only houses where she knows the people. Well, THERE go two snicker bars, but what about the rest? It seems to me folks are scared enough without ME coming to the door in a scary costume.
