“The point of Halloween, as an adult male, is to go to parties and see normal self respecting professional women dressed as total sluts.”

Now that is funny stuff….

If you are 35, you are officially too old to dress up.

Now, that doesn’t mean you are old, in the dirty sense of the word. Anyone over 17 is too old to dress up.

Now, if you want to dress down…. that is different. Wear pajamas, put an eye-patch on, maybe a funny hat…

Really anything that you can take off quickly and look like your normal self, or puts you in the process of having sex.

The point of Halloween, as an adult male, is to go to parties and see normal self respecting professional women dressed as total sluts. If you go overboard with the costume, you become part of the spectacle, instead of a spectator – which is what you want to be doing on Halloween, spectating.

Here is a contextual analogy.

If you were at lambeau…. would you rather be on the field as a ref?

in the stands at the 50 yard line?

Dressing up in a costume for work is not something that I am a fan of. Dressing up to say, go to a party downtown or at a friend’s house where that is the theme, I am fine with that.

In those instances (bar or party), I would say I enjoy seeing the creativity of what some come up with. Case in point, a picture from a friend 2 years ago with Darth Vader passed out on the stall at BBC downtown. File that one under things you don’t see every day.

I wonder if Brett Favre is going to go trick or treating at his new coache’s house…

On days that I have to wear a suit, I’m usually too busy to make a post about what I’m wearing.

Of course, it goes without saying that I’m not wearing a suit today.

Avoid it by celebrating Reformation Day instead!

Dressing up is lame, its for kids and you should not do it.

Halloween is a kiids holiday. Adult males who dress up are totally ridiculous. Now if your female counterparts want to dress up, especially as naughty nurses, Elvira, or the maid, that’s different. It’s good to be Old!
I can be as sexist as I want. All they say to me is, “Isn’t that old coot funny?”

aaron – unless you are andy’s boss … the guy has a blog that posts just about every day, and we all spend time writing responses, and some of us even have our own blogs. i think the notion that the internet/necessity for computers at work desks combination is a dangerous one, and that worker productivity is a lost cause in today’s society – that’s not news.

we all have both ‘too much’ time, and ‘not enough time,’ depending on who’s making the judgment – our boss while we’re at work, or ourselves while we’re doing dishes and laundry all weekend. but in the end, we use it how we want to. when we stare off into space for 4 hours every day for a week straight, we can learn from that, and spend the next few months learning a language on audio cd’s during our commute (i’ve really been meaning to do that – anyone ever bought that Rosetta stone crap?). or asking our blog readers what they think about acting like batman for one day a year.

but back to batman. i’m a wimp when it comes to costumes, dancing in public, etc. but i certainly admire the stoic-ly ridiculous from time to time. contrasts in attitude and appearance have a hilarious effect, so i’m all for avoiding conversation/hype about halloween, and then showing up in something completely absurd – especially if you can have serious business-type conversations with co-workers dressed as a giant turd sandwich, or landshark from snl – all while keeping a straight face. i would say i’m dating myself with the landshark thing, but i have a feeling there aren’t many 16 year-olds reading this blog. they’re out trick-or-treating.
