OK, ok I'll try to get with the program. (but no promises)

Favorite Halloween costume;

I was about 33, just out of eight years in the US Army and back in college. I had this great pair of pink monster feet slippers. They were huge and I really, really loved them. I was rumaging around at the Salvation Army used clothing outlet and found, of all things, a big pink Muppets head. Well that got the wheels turning. Sure enough I found some pink knit mittens with a few days search.

Add in a formal black three piece suit and tie.

Viola! A giant lifesize pink Muppet!

Santa Cruz, CA had a huge party on the main street every year back then and I rocked all night! The kids loved it, I don't remember how many came up, eyes as wide as saucers, to say hello and shake my hand. One of the best times ever!

I'd kill for a photo of that costume. Must have cost me all of ten bucks.
