Well, it’s another halloween. I love this holiday.<\/p>\n

I still need to track down pictures for 2005’s furry costume. I know we took them. Just need to find’em<\/p>\n

I seem to have gotten into a rotation of Make, Buy, Fake<\/p>\n

As always… I should do some catch up:<\/p>\n

This is oddly the 1 yr anniversary of the Microsoft interview <\/a>that didn’t pan out.<\/p>\n

Also… as you read… Sunday I managed to ding myself rather bad.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, no one at work seems to want to ask. They look… they notice… But they never ask. Which was sad because my wife had two answers prepared:<\/p>\n

Her: Did you tell them that I’ve been beating you?
\nMe: This? Oh.. um… The first rule is that I can’t talk about it.<\/p>\n

no one asked. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

So.. now the recap for the newer readers<\/p>\n

Again.. I love Halloween:
\n2005: I went furry. Tiger mask, tail, fuzzy slippers. Pictures forthcoming
\n2004: Gene Simmons <\/a>(AGAIN) (details<\/a>)
\n2003: 70’s disco hell<\/a>. This costume was sadly renamed ‘Ron Jeremy’
\n2001,2002 – My fuddy-duddy not doing Halloween Years
\n2000: My personal favourite: The scary conservative without a costume<\/a><\/p>\n

Costumes in the 90s included: The Crow, Dream (Sandman), more Gene Simmons (better pictures eventually),
\nand a personal favourite: Wakko Warner<\/a><\/p>\n

Wakko was exceedingly (and surprisingly) hard to do. Finding a powder blue turtleneck<\/a> in September\/October teaches you what fall colours and styles are. I did the ears by using pipecleaners and hairbands in my hair. A friend made the tail. I bought the hands and feet.<\/p>\n

Sadly, however… Many people thought I was Mickey Mouse<\/a>. Which (due to that link especially) is understandable.<\/p>\n

So this year.<\/p>\n

This year was my, “Throw money at it” year. I knew what I wanted to do… And I tracked down all the pieces online.<\/p>\n

Personally, I’m certain security will ask me to remove an obvious part of the costume. (No, not weapons)… But I think it’s the best work I’ve done… Better pictures soon. For now…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh.
\nBeneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.
