We are going as Shrek and (Ogre) Fiona. Shrek might work for you too. I know-a couple years outta date, but we're trying to keep the cost down by kinda throwing something together. Went to a costume store Tuesday night. Costumes are freakin' expensive, man. Anyway, that's my input.

As for a costume: I made once a costume of the Oggie Boogie man (know it only from nightmare before Christmas) out of old coffee sacs for my boyfriend. Hell lot of work but it looked really cool on him, he had the right figure for it... I myself went as table...glued a plate, glass, silver ware and food on a square piece of cardboard that was covered with a table cloth. Then cut a hole into the plate to stick my head through. When I sat down it looked as if my head is presented on the plate. I wore it all evening while drinking. Now I think I was crazy to do it, could have slipped and broken my neck while stuck in that cardboard...WatsonCrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979574810207305352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-10608938378892428462008-10-23T09:09:00.000-07:002008-10-23T09:09:00.000-07:00way cool. i love pumpkin carving! good luck pickin...way cool. i love pumpkin carving! good luck picking a costume :)Whosit5Casiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06727714474375806519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-40599118451188224432008-10-23T09:06:00.000-07:002008-10-23T09:06:00.000-07:00i have been suggesting to everyone that they shoul...i have been suggesting to everyone that they should be Whitecula: the white Blacula, but i haven't gotten any takers.Ralph-https://www.blogger.com/profile/10850382858667447917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-39236436271066174632008-10-23T08:35:00.000-07:002008-10-23T08:35:00.000-07:00This pumpkin work is fantastic!

At this point I'm thinking I'm going to get a t-shirt and a sharpie and write "The Economy" or "Your 401k" on it. That's got to be scarier than anything else I could come up with! ;)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722080818075669829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-23173908181806060232008-10-22T23:12:00.000-07:002008-10-22T23:12:00.000-07:00Aloha from Texas.

We got into Lost due to the SciFi channel showing all the episodes and instead of waiting for the weekly shows we watched them all online or rented the dvd. Good show. Here, we have visited some of the locations used in your show, especially the one on the pier at the Macademia store. Cool place. Look forward to seeing your next season.Tejanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697373758944418313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-39849481436744443992008-10-22T20:37:00.000-07:002008-10-22T20:37:00.000-07:00oooooh! jorge! do a pumpkin with a day of the dead...oooooh! jorge! do a pumpkin with a day of the dead skull on it! i think that's what i'm gonna do with my pumpkin this year... <BR/><BR/>do it! do it! do it! i wanna see!anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706571240996201351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-57839817961089785852008-10-22T19:10:00.000-07:002008-10-22T19:10:00.000-07:00Those are wicked!
