So who's dressed up? As what?
We've got the Dog the Bounty Hunter team running around our office, Princess Leia (thankfully in her Ep IV white outfit), Poison Ivy (not the outfit you want her in), Jesus, the Mario Bros (including Wario), and more.
I've got my 1920s-era pulp adventure dude outfit going on. First time I've worn my tanker boots since we switched to ACU's in '07.
I dressed as a short Jewish bald guy. Very authentic looking!
I'm dressed as Gus's dad.

I used to wear my Darth Vader mask and carry a red lightsaber to work but last year my Darth Vadar mask got broken. I haven't come up with another costume since.
I'm planning to wear my RenFest garb tonight, since I didn't get the chance to do so when I went to the actual RenFest last month (it was too muddy to be worthwhile). I'll probably leave the rapier at home, though. ;)

Damn! :o Have you always been psychic, or is it just a Halloween thing??!!
I am a Roman citizen living in the province Germania Inferior, I refuse to join in Celtic traditions coming from Vinland ;)
I will be donning my Star Fleet uniform later this afternoon.
So, who's bold enough to share pics of their costumes?
I'll post one in a bit

Maybe I should have gone as Waldorf as I'm feeling old and curmudgeonly. This punk-ass kid I work with and got to dress up as Beaker had never even heard of the Muppet Show, let alone Muppet Labs....Kids today....
Unacceptable.

In front of the bedroom. Just as you come up the stairs on the left.
Yeah, I went there.
Next up: Me and the boys waiting for trick or treaters.
Max is dressed as a banana (not my idea) and Boudreaux is dressed as a pumpkin (also not my idea).
However, Boudreaux *loves* his outfit. Max? Not quite as thrilled. The good news is that no matter how fiercely the dogs bark at the kids at the door, none are afraid of a pumpkin and a banana.

Actually, I gave zero input on what to buy. I'm not big on sweets myself, though if I had offered some input I've been known to have a soft spot for Smarties.
twix fingers and a pack of smarties are tonights star goodies - im not going to get a look in there

Nice!
I'm going as an overly protective dad ready to punch the day lights out of any would be child predators.
Aren't you on-post?
It was a great Halloween. The rain lifted right as the kids hit and held off for most of the evening. It was a fun evening.
It is absolutely gorgeous out here. Perfect night to sit outside and watch the kids run around and goof off. If only our end of the street was a little busier....
Still, all in all it's a perfect night to be outside
We're all going to a halloween-themed gala tomorrow night. I'm dressing as a pirate (if you knew me, you would know how terrible unpredictable that is), and the Cap'n is dressing as "The Least Interesting Man in the World" (his own concept, and about as far from his actual real-life self as imaginable). I'll post pictures, at least of me. Posting pictures of the husband could get me killed. Or worse.

"Expelled" is the general response.

Isn't this how you normally dress?
Had 70+ Trick-or-Treaters show up at the parents house, which is a pretty good number compared to previous years.
The boots I hadn't worn since '07, and at this point, the goggles are more for costume than operational use. But everything else in there is stuff I have on hand for normal wear / use.
http://www.wired.com/rawfile/2012/10/nightmares/?viewall=true
Led MiniGus 1 and 2 through the rain with about 100 of their closest friends to raid the village like vikings. I of course get a nice cut of the candy for my efforts.
Least Interesting Man in the World is the best costume idea I've heard of so far!

It was a good night, cool (but not too cool) and no rain. Lots of kids out & about. 40Jr. took-in a good haul and a cute little girl (couple of doors down, same age as him) made up a special loot bag of candy just for him!!

The one with Mother Nature. Pretty much have to have them to see near, far, and in between.

Flown south for the winter, no doubt.
Not likely. Mrs.D said poor little beggar was full of grog - it'll be lurching round in circles - if that's what drunken parrots do - but aviation under those circumstances is right out of the question.
