Yep its that time of year again when gouls, ghosts and goblins come out looking for that pefect Halloween costume. Its also that time of year when many go crazy trying to figure out what they want be for the occasion. Its the most strenuous process counting your pennies realizing you can't afford the super deluxe Darth Vader costume which would impress the crap out of your friends and family members. One hurts deeply when you rummage thru your wife's art supply drawers hoping and pleading with the costume gods that you will find the key to a brilliant idea for a costume only to find yarn and yarn and yarn. (my wife knits..alot)
So you leave work every evening, battling with the cold October winds of New York City, cramming yourself up next to the guy that smells like piss in the subway just to get to Rickey's and realize that the Batman costume you so desperately wanted look and feels like crap. Plus they don't have your size anyway. ARGGGH! So you get back on the subway and sit next to a women who can't stop talking to her dog which she has in a hand-bag and you begin to envy her because she does not even need to go thru the hell of costume hunting. She is Dorothy with Toto from the Wizard of Oz or Paris Hilton with her piece of shit dog...both great costumes for Halloween.
Finally I found success by piecing together a Green Lantern costume shirt, boots, tights and ring only to come home and have my gay roommate express how cool it was that I was portraying a Homosexual Icon for Halloween. Well GREAT! Its too late now. I am that comic book gay icon Green Lantern for this year. Mean while my wife will be looking all hot as Batgirl. Somehow she used that yarn and made this amazing outfit. I suck.
