Saturday, October 18th, 2008More horrifying than a $700 Billion Bailout
For many, one of the most horrifying things this Halloween will be simply knowing that Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke are the guys in charge of managing what may be the greatest financial crisis in America’s history. Embrace the horror with these creepy (and expensive) Ben and Hank masks. Okay, so maybe your 401K’s taken a beating and you don’t feel like dropping eighty bucks for a one-time gag. Using little more than ping pong balls, transform yourself into a surreal Homer Simpson, or a somewhat satanic version of Sesame Street’s Bert & Ernie. Still on a reasonable budget, especially if you’re on the OB/GYN team at the local hospital, is this inventive birth in progress costume. You’ll probably want to have a high comfort-level with your costume partner though. Speaking of comfort levels, I wouldn’t recommend spending too much time sitting down if you’re wearing this whoopee cushion getup
I’m Udderly Ashamed, But Behooved

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008There’s just to much at steak.
To bring you this little news item. Who would’ve thought that chasing small children around and peeing on somebody’s porch while wearing a cow costume was somehow illegal? Maybe the poor woman was just getting fired up about halloween a little early. It is only a few weeks away. If you’re stuck for an idea, one classic solution is to hope that somebody famous dies. Always a winner. For 2008 an obvious theme would be a bailout-related costume, but all I can think of is sticking my head up my ass and saying that I’m a politician. For a commercially-produced outfit, maybe something like this Genie in the Lamp “Rub Me”
