Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Continues Rampage, New York Wins On Road

OT:So what are you wearing

Last year we had a fun diary (as we so innocently called them then) where we posted pictures of ourselves in our Halloween costumes. Me, well I've got two kids 13, an ostrich jockey and 10, a flying pig. I'm lucky when I remeber to exchange my pajamas for real clothes before leaving the house. But to get in the spirit of things here is my little dog, Special Ed. Edincostume_medium

Same here dude. It’s a cruel joke perpetrated against overachievers.

I’m going with a pair of 5" pumps and some fine thigh-highs.

Wha….oh….you meant what am I wearing for Halloween?!?

people

are losing sight of the true roots of halloween. warding off the evil spirits through extensive rituals involving animal sacrifice is a time honored tradition that has been lost on this MTV generation.

Our party was last Saturday.

I went as my character from Rock Band named Peter Pantz. I grew my beard out for two weeks and then shaved it into a chops/mustache combo like Lemmy from Motorheard. Dyed my hair and facial hair black.

shaggy

left the camera at work, our new front desk assistant decided to come as fred from scooby doo because he already had the neckerchief (which is odd, because he’s a young, straight black guy) so i dyed my hair light brown, threw on a lime green shirt and we rocked it.

Awesome, I was shaggy last year for Halloween (and a friend went as Velma). Since real shaggy hair is no longer within my capabilities, I had to get a wig. Unfortunately this year, like the year before last, I got stuck working all night on Halloween. :(

Mrs. Juanboy and I

are going as Dennis and Elizabeth Kucinich. Because I’m a bit older than she is (not, like, creepily older, just…older), we can turn it into a Halloween jokey joke. And it’s totally obscure (at least for the party we’ll be at), which I love. And the wife has always wanted to dress like a hooch for Halloween. And I have a righteous combover wig.

Today?

I was a happy Office Max employee. Yes, that was my costume because I worked from 8:30 until 5:00, then since all three of the other people who were supposed to come in and replace me called in sick, I worked until 9:40. Now I’m dressed up as a bum laying on the couch in his boxers.

Noah Lowry

I had the Giants jersey and cap, knee-high orange socks, sneakers, glove, batting glove on the other hand, eyeblack, and a birthmark made with lipstick.

Someone here gave me the idea in a post saying we should all dress as Giants — I already had the gear.

(I had to be Noah pre-goatee. But that’s OK. I also regret not drawing on the flaming fastball tattoo.)

Still-proud, adoptive mama of Notgardo Alfonzo, who's back from the 50-game purgatory. He promises never to do it again. I couldn't get him to promise to hit, though. We're working on that with bribes of M&Ms, kind of like potty training.

One teenage girl came to our door here in New Jersey with toy coins glued all over her sweater and pants. “Know what I am?” she asked. “No,” I said. “I’m change you can believe in!” she replied.

Best comstume I saw

Well, considering I only saw two basically at work was the one of them. He was dressed up as a cowboy, chaps, vest, hat, everything. Add a blue wig with the hair coming to his shoulders and the fact that he’s gay to the mix. Good outfit.
