Trick or Teat

As many of you know, Halloween is our favorite holiday. So when we were invited to a Halloween party by some of our old State College friends, we went into high costume-planning mode.

The theme of the party was dead celebrities. Sue quickly narrowed the field down to two choices. Her first inclination was Lucille Ball, but she could not find an outfit she liked and when her hair dye-job came out darker than she hoped for, she decided to try a different tack. So say hello to Anna Nicole Smith.

Everyone wanted to know where she got the boobs from and she told them the truth, "My mommy made them." She also had help from her sister, Gina, who made fake drug labels for the pseudo-pharmaceutical cornucopia that was Anna's purse.

As one girl at the party said, "I'm pretty sure those are just tic-tacs in there...right?"

I was trying to come up with a bald dead celebrity because I wanted to see what I looked like if I shaved it all off. Hence Telly Savalas as Kojak.

My costume also got a big boost from Gina who made a badge and ID that could probably have faked out the real NYPD.

We went to the party with our friends Brian and Lori who made a good showing as Lucy and Bob Denver as Gilligan.

The party was hosted by a friend of Sue's from AccuWeather. He put on a good show with a graveyard out back, huge spread of food, a macabre bar downstairs, and a bloody awful sitting room.

Along with the drinking and food there was a horror movie quiz and costume prizes. Sue showed she was not just a pretty face by pulling out a win with a near flawless quiz. Then she won the prize for funniest costume and I won for looking most like my character. The other prize went to a convincing "Dave Thomas" for most original costume. We felt a little bad about taking three of the four prizes, but when you are good, you're good.

And what is Halloween without a few devilish tricks? We crashed at Brian and Lori's house after the party, so it wasn't until the next morning that we found out that the joke was on us. Sue's mom had lent us her car for the drive to State College and while it was in the driveway someone mustard-ed the back.

The pillow-velcro could be a good start on next years outfit! And you certainly deserved the prizes for this year!! We did Sarah Palin and John McCain pumpkins. Way scary! But by far the scariest thing was when Sarah Palin showed up at our door. Good thing she was wearing an Obama button or I would have needed an Alaska shopping bag to catch my heave! The pumpkins quickly rotted and are now in the compost pile. We will mix them with some good manure and see if anything can grow out of the mixture. My amazement over the election is giving way to exhaustion at the mess there is to clean up. The election was hardly a warm up for the job ahead of all of us!! Im afraid if we bought the ice cream store wed eat any profits. And neither of us likes cooking enough to even consider the restaurant. But the bar has potential!! Hugs,Pat
