This was done last year in this closed thread, but I have decided to revive this question for this year's upcoming holiday.  Here is a link to last year's now locked thread.  http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43128&KW=halloween&PID=2678743#2678743 - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43128&KW=halloween&PID=2678743#2678743

I'll start this year's thread by saying that although she won't be here in the US for Halloween, Raff should dress as the Statue of Liberty or Betsy Ross or some other symbolic US personage.

I'll make an exception and quote myself from that thread:

Actually, I think I'll just wear clothes like normal people.

I might suggest going as this. No one will believe it till it actually comes out in stores.

Well, on Friday night I might try to go out in the streets of my neighbourhood dressed as the Statue of Liberty, and see if someone calls an ambulance to take me to the nearest madhouseLOL... Kids and younger people have started celebrating Halloween since some years ago, but people my age usually don't. I used to dress up for Carnival when I was much younger, but I haven't done so in decades, I'm afraid.

Anyway, excuse me for my ignorance, but I have no clue as to who Betsy Ross might be.. Luckily I'm still a few years away from my citizenship testWinkLOL!

Legend has it that Betsy Ross sewed the first flag of the United States.

I see... Well, I can embroider, but I can't sew to save my life, and I'm not too much of a flag person anyway. I think that, when the day will come for me to take my oath as a US citizen, I'll have to make a special effort not to laughWink.

Oy!!  Well at least it is better than going as a New York Yankee.  My nephew is going as Magglio Ordonez, who is the Tigers' Righfielder.  There is a tilde over the "n" but I don't know how to make the keyboard do that.

the only place where the tilde is really important is when you are trying to distinguish the word "ano".  If my rusty Spanish serves me right with the tilde it means year, without it means a****le.

This is true.

I find it amazing what is says about a culture whose language differentiates between 365 days and a****les by using a mere squiggly line.  LOL

I've been thinking about going as Charlie Chaplin, but I never get around to getting the costume or growing in the mustache.  Plus, without the costume on, the mustache kind of makes me look like a slightly infamous dictator of Germany...Confused

Couldn't even if I wanted I physically CANT grow a moustache right there. I guess I have a reverse hitler

Oh come on, you have to be more creative than that.  How about a half Mays half Vince the Sham Wow guy with a spare Flo the Progressive Insurance gal head?

Me, I could just go as myself without brushing my hair when I wake up in the morning. Tongue

Don't you have some family members that need to die?
Or did I make that up?

And Slarti I've liked him since before he got...big? So going as Billy Mays would be a tribute!

Halloween is evidently here in Denmark to stay. At work today, I wore a count Dracula cape, a smurph mask, a skirt with blossoms and carried a big sword - basically everything I could find. I told the kids, that I was a politician and that politicians eat children with salt n pepper.
