>Hell, we're on a roll. Howabout Halloween?
>

Our annual over-the-top, decadent Halloween party at work got cancelled last year because of the terrorist nonsense--security concerns in general, and at the time the warnings to all the studios were still fresh. I was bummed. The year before included an amazing 12' tall articulated Iron Giant costume, a frighteningly accurate Johnny Depp-as-Hunter S. Thompson complete with attending Vegas cigarette girl, and the woman who used to work there that also did amature women's wrestling on the side done up in a bodystocking and painted to look like a stone gargoyle.

Oh, and about 8 guys as the LA Lakers a la Fletch, i.e. all terribly white with oversize afro wigs on. Someone was actually quick enough to announce them as they entered ("Ladies and Gentlemen! Yourrrrrrrrr Los Angeles LAKERSSSSS!!!!"), causing the crowd to part while they all entered at once dribbling basketballs. I broke pretty hard at that.

Maybe this year.
