Adam: Look at the cost of these Halloween costumes! Laura: Good gravy! A $70 spider-man! Adam: Preposterous! In my day, we made costumes from scraps around the house. One Halloween, I went as a blind ghost. Laura: A "blind" ghost? Adam: Yeah, well, my mom wouldn't let me cut holes in her sheets.

I once went as a ghost using an old bedsheet. While I didn’t think it was that scary, it was enough to scare a few little kids!

I had fun as a child as a trick or treater on Halloween. Thankfully, we get the kids at our house on Halloween. I guess some parents other than myself still remember happy childhood days!
Oh yeah, the cost of costumes. Good thing we design our own!

I don’t blame Adam’s mom. Has anyone seen the cost of bed sheets these days? It might cost nearly that $70 they want for the Spiderman costume.

Doc - I think that you should go as Nuclear Coffee Man. A giant coffee cup with radioactive steam wafting out of it.

The last time I went to a Hallo’w’e’e’n costume party I just wore my business duds. My tie matched the pattern lining the inside of my jacket. This was in April of 2004. Most H’a’lloww’e’n’ parties are held at the end of October, but I didn’t want to lend legitimacy to a useless pagan holiday, so I did it early. Or late, depending on how you look at it.
The party was being held in my place of business, and was thrown by the woman I was working for who was actually my mother’s sister’s brother-in-law, who came dressed as my father. This was a real coincidence, because this woman was in fact my father.
When I got to the party, I don’t remember what anybody else was wearing, except that they were all wearing business suits, just like me. This was a real coincidence as well, because it was a business day in a business. This was in 1838.
There weren’t any refreshments at this H’a’l’l’o’w’ee’n party, because the holiday is pagan and serves no purpose and we didn’t want to do anything which might give the federal government the idea to recognize it.
We played some fun party games, though, like “Sign the Contracts” and “Add Up All the Numbers in the Ledger.” This was in 2762.

I laughed out loud at the comic today. But I’m scratching my chin on your comment fritzoid.

Excellent, fritzoid, most excellent - ROFLMAO…..You did JAD almost as well as JAD does, and he’s had a lot more practice! Without a doubt, you deserve a 10 out of 10 AND the gold medal for JADism.
Truly, a classic in the annals of commenting.
