We Scare Because We Care

There were some awesome Halloween costumes today. I saw a stranger in a Captain Jack Sparrow costume that looked awfully authentic, with braided hair and jewelry, the make-up, the clothes, hat, and boots. It was quite a good costume. One of the shuttle drivers dressed up as Indiana Jones, complete with whip. When he was driving, he suddenly yelled out, "Oh no! Up ahead! There's a huge traffic jam! We'll take a detour." I'm not sure that's very Indiana Jones-like, but it was quite funny. Also, when we were waiting for some people crossing the road, he yelled out the window "Great costumes! You look just like little kids!" They were in fact, little kids.

Our class had even better costumes. Three guys dressed up as a huge yellow bottle of mustard, a matching red bottle of ketchup, and a can of Coors lite. The professor then commented that "All we need now is a hot-dog and a baseball game." Immediately, we started clamoring for the hot-dog and applauded when the fourth guy came in, fulfilling our wishes.

Then, there was a guy dressed as a hippie with a huge 80s hairdo, sparkling, glittery, and elaborate. Half-way through lecture, while the professor was answering questions, we hear this odd spraying sound in the back. We turn around and there he is, with a can of hairspray, looking into a small pink mirror, fixing it up. It was hilarious.

Christina just IMed me and said, "You'll like this. One of my coworkers dressed up as a 'cereal killer.'" I love it.
