People have been going nuts looking up “Halloween Costumes” on Google. How do I know? An awful lot of them end up here, checking out my previous posts on the subject. But every year, there’s a new crop of costume to die for, and costumes that make you wish you were dead. I don’t remember Halloween costumes from my childhood (it was so long ago), but I’ve had plenty as an adult. Strangely, they have all been recycled. Whatever I wore on Halloween was made for an earlier event. I’ve been the Easter Bunny, Supergirl, and a leprechaun for radio promotions. I don't think I wore the leprechaun outfit for Halloween, but one year I was the Easter Bunny. That got some laughs! I was Strawberry Shortcake one year in a retail sales promotion. My Rocky Horror costume was for, uh, Rocky Horror screenings. My Star Trek uniform was for cons. One of these days, I’ll get those pictures scanned. But not today.

You have a real thirst for bliss, and you consider yourself a true hedonist. And you're not afraid to walk alone in life, if it means getting what you truly crave. You truly enjoy entrancing people. Not to mention the ensuing pleasures of the flesh. Your tastes have been called decadent and bizarre. You usually give in to your temptations, no matter how primal. Your greatest power: Your flawless ability to seduce and charm. Your greatest weakness: Human flesh. You play well with: Werewolves

You can’t do your own elf ears. You just can’t. But here are instructions to do someone else’s.

ROCKY

One Halloween a trick-or-treater came to my door dressed as 'Rocky' in boxing gloves and satin shorts. Soon after I gave him some goodies, he returned for more.

"Aren't you the same 'Rocky' who left my doorstep a few minutes ago?" I asked.

"Yes," he replied, "but now I'm the sequel. I'll be back three more times tonight too."

YOU CAN’T WIN

There once was a man with a bald head and a peg leg who was in need of a Halloween costume. So he wrote to a costume company, who promptly sent him a bandana and a hook so he could be a pirate.

Outraged that they were making fun of his peg leg, he fired off a complaint letter. In order to please him, the costume company sent him a monk’s costume saying that it would be perfect for his baldhead.

Now outraged that they were making fun of his baldhead, the man sent another angry letter. Soon after, another package arrived in the mail — a package of caramel. Attached was a note:

“Stick the peg leg up your ass, dip your head in caramel, and go as a caramel apple.”
