I'm really going to throw people a curve and make sales calls dressed up in a halloween costume TODAY.
I'll just play it deadpan and look like, "what??!?!" when people look at me weird.

We had a Halloween luncheon for the office yesterday, with the option of wearing a costume. None of the other partners were in costume, but the associates were, as were the office manager (Little Red Riding Hood), receptionist and several secretaries (my secretary said she was dressed as an "80's chick" but everyone said she looked like a hooker).
Just before the luncheon started, I changed into a colonial cosutme. I already had a colonial shirt I purchased years ago at Monticello, and a tri-corner hat I got at Colonial Williamsburg, and I rented knee-breeches, socks and shoe buckles to complete the ensemble. As soon as lunch was over, I changed back to my "normal" outfit.

In about 8th grade, me and a friend thought it would be funny to go door to door after school the day after Halloween. We got more candy from people who had all their leftovers than we would have gotten on 5 real Halloweens.Originally Posted by Ltlabner
Only coworker wore a costume ... also a witch. Some of the others wore wigs, or saints/LSU jerseys, etc, but that was it.
I didn't really WANT to dress up yesterday, because I knew it was a stressful day (end of month), but I wanted to "play along".
Fair enough. I'm just not a fan of making a value judgment on the character of a person based on what they wear, especially if it's just for one night a year just to have fun.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
No platform shoes? 30 years ago that wouldn't have been considered a costume though.

My Halloween party isn't til tomorrow. I think I'm going to be an oompa loompa. Or maybe Betty Rubble or Pee Wee Herman, I haven't decided. But i am leaning toward the oompa loompa.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Old School Oompa Loompa? Old School Oompa Loompas rock!

I suppose so, what is a new school oompa loompa?
This is who I mean:
I picked it because I already have the tights. And because, yes, oompa loomps rock xcore.

Sorry, can't see the picture.I suppose so, what is a new school oompa loompa?

Here's the comparison:
Old School Gene Wilder Class Oompa Loompas
The Tim Burton Oompa Loompa v.2

Oh yes, most definitely old school then. here is the picture with the tights:
I haven't seen the Tim Burton version, but man, that oompa loompa is awful. Everyone would mistake me for a power ranger.

You should see it, VP.
Burton has a very fresh take on it.
In the TB version, Willy Wonka rubs me as a pedophile. Seriously.
Johnny Depp is definitely channeling a little bit of Neverland-era Michael Jackson... he's just a little kid who never grew up b/c of what he went through with his dad.
You might want to say that he strikes you as a pedophile.
I will see it eventually. I like Tim Burton. But i do not like his oompa loompa vision.
