There’s only so much you can do with makeup when you just don’t look a damn thing like the woman in the first place, but I gave it a shot.


Things I learned at this year’s Halloween party:
- False eyelashes are itchy (and come off if you laugh so hard you cry) but not having to wear mascara kind of rocks
- Skin-colored latex works great for making little patches to cover your real eyebrows
- A costume consisting of polyester clothing covered in baby powder that’s set with hairspray and a plastic wig is really quite flammable
- Doc is a fantastic sculptor
- Sure, Leslie likes mayonnaise, but not THAT much
- Ben brought some of the best salsa I’ve ever tasted
- I love olive dip
- You people didn’t eat nearly enough candy
- All the costumes this year: fantastic!! Not a lame one in the bunch. Even the “Best Costume Clearly Thrown Together At 6:30 This Evening” was quite good!
- White Elephant costume contest prize selection was a fun method
- I probably flew my Geek Flag a little too proudly when I recited the whole “Holy Hand Grenade” speech to Arthur, King of the Britons (Mark)
