My Nightmare

I’ve gone through most of my adult life without wearing masks…

No, I’m not getting philosophical on you, I mean I haven’t attended many costume parties after the age of 12. Sure, there were the famed Super Bowl parties in St. Louis when we dictated guests had to dress as their favorite Super Fan (Marge Schott was my personal fav), but since most of those costumes were normal Sunday wear anyway, it didn’t seem to be a big deal.

In two weeks I have to come up with 2 costumes that Sean and I will both wear for a party in which I will know no one. First impressions of me in bunny ears and a tail? I think not. I find this task of coming up with suitable attire to be surprisingly daunting for me--so if anyone has any suggestions that are not retarded, I would appreciate it.

I'm not a costume person (80s party notwithstanding) either, but I've always harbored a disturbing wish to dress as Forest Gump (this, of course, would put me in danger of being mistaken for Pee Wee Herman): slightly too small grey suit, white sox, loafers, and a box of chocolates under my arm.

I can't believe I just admitted that.

I can't believe you admitted that either...

Zen sent me a whole email list of ideas, but my favorite was "Hurricane victim" where you wear old clothes and attach shingles and pieces of plywood to yourself.

I can certainly relate to that...
