Dorky Hallowe'en Costume
Posted 10/31/2012 4:49:00 AM

It’s Hallowe’en, and I had trouble deciding what to go as.  I had some ideas, I just wasn’t sure how to bring them to life.  I thought of being a Hurricane Sandy looter but I couldn’t think of a costume disgusting enough.  A darkened NHL rink can be pretty spooky with the ghosts of great games banging around the boards.  I thought of covering myself in tinfoil splattered with mud and graffiti, with a $600,000 price tag hanging from my wrist.  Would people get that I was the Talus Balls?  Should I go door to door on a pogo stick and call myself the price of gasoline?  I wasn’t sure what would be more frightening, going as a police officer becoming the default attendant at the Whyte Avenue toilet, or the city committee that didn’t realize the place would be used for other than a rest stop.  I thought of putting a money bag with eye holes over my head, and going as the missing hundred million arena dollars.  In the end, I just decided to hang the key to my front door around my neck.  Just sort of a door-key Hallowe’en costume.  Did I miss something else in the city that’s pretty scary?  Let me know.

    Well Bob, what was the name of that old cartoon character that use to go around saying I will gladly pay you tomorrow for a hambuger today? He would be someone to dress up as unless you have already found out that the mayor is going as himself.

    Now back to trying to remember how much was the 311 phone system was going to save us... hmmm or the new bus pass system, or the singing dumpsters,

    How many really know why October 31 is All Hallowed Eve?

    Start there, and then it will be discovered as to why Halloween, 2012 is different than its beginning in 835 AD.

    To add more fuel to the fire, why not check with the Greek Orthodox, or Ukrainian Orthodox as to why All Saints day is celebrated in summer.

    Some of the drivers in this town are pretty scary. Hang a giant grill around your neck and a couple of oversized side mirrors hanging from your ears and a giant exhaust pipe out your but and you might have something. But wait it might look too much like you are trying to compensate for some other deficiency in your life.
