    It happens every year. Why the hell do people insist on wearing these things to the office? This isn't elementary school, it's GD place of business. What is wrong with these f'n engineers?

    I'm walking around, and these people look downright stupid. I walked into a meeting, and these assclowns were sitting there, one in a pirate costume and the other a nerd. Needless to say, nobody paid any attention to them.

    Since you're talking about engineers, the nerd probably wasn't wearing a costume. :D

    I am kind of half dressed at work. I am wearing Brown polyester pants and regular clothes for the rest. I have to throw the rest of my costume on after work and then 3 hours later i will be in the village partying it up in costume. I know I am not one of the peope you speak of meggo, but i dont see the harm in having a youthfull disposition in life.

    hell if more people took life a little less seriously i think this would be a better place. Besides its a friday too.

    even if you are laughing at them you day is a little better.

    Nothing wrong with encountering a sexy, naughty nurse in the elevator.

    Any female dressed that way is a scary thought considering where I work...

    I'm thinking about hitting on that new chick from Loans. She's wearing her PJ's. If things go right I might be showing her my O-face. You know: Oooh! Oooh!

    I was dressed as Darth Vader yesterday (we did our Halloween stuff yesterday since so many people take off on Fridays).

    I won $75 cash, so Baqui, it is not a bad thing to dress up if there is a monetary incentive to do so.;)

    I won a bottle of wine for dressing up in my rugby uni. I'm in very very short shorts at my desk for all of you who are in to that.

    *twhy77 is not "in to that"

    Heh yeah I used to have to wear my rugby shorts to class after practice. I junk would be hanging out a little more often than I would like. It was pretty funny though. One semester I had class just after practice, so I was often late. I always sat in the back right corner of the room next to this chick on the tennis team. we had practice at the same time and were both pretty nasty in that back corner. She was sweaty, I was grass stained and had my junk hanging out. I will never figure out how we ended up hooking up since we certainly met at very un attractive times.

    I though about going out tonight in rugby uni, but I really dont want to waer those shorts ever again, and my old Jersey has a sizable rip in it. so I would have to wear my NZ all blacks Uni and that does not go with blue shorts. have fun everyone and try not to be too safe tonight

    i think it's sweet when people dress up at work. it breaks the monotony and boredom of the office. office life is so boring i don't see why anything outside of the norm could be bad in the white collar world.

    It would be sweet if there was a Halloween costume dress code in place year-round.

    No harm, no foul. I'm dressed up like a goth for halloween this year.... It's hot as hell wearing black! Walking home from school SUCKED! Now I know why I only wear black in the winter!

    Amen AntiSonic. I'd have much more fun goin to class if ppl would dress up all crazy-like at least every once in a while.

    "Halloween" by the Dead Kennedys

    So it's Halloween
    And you feel like dancin'
    And you feel like shinin'
    And you feel like letting loose

    Whatcha gonna be
    Babe, you better know
    And you better plan
    Better plan all day

    Better plan all week
    Better plan all month
    Better plan all year

    You're dressed up like a clown
    Putting on your act
    It's the only time all year
    You'll ever admit that

    I can see your eyes
    I can see your brain
    Baby, nothing's changed
    [repeat]

    You're still hiding in a mask
    You take your fun seriously
    No, don't blow this year's chance
    Tomorrow your mold goes back on

    After Halloween

    You go to work today
    You'll go to work tomorrow
    ****faced tonight
    You'll brag about it for months

    Remember what I did
    Remember what I was
    Back on Halloween

    But what's in between
    Where are your ideas
    You sit around and dream
    For next Halloween

    Why not everyday
    Are you so afraid
    What will people say
    [repeat]

    After Halloween

    Because your role is planned for you
    There's nothing you can do
    But stop and think it through
    But what will the boss say to you

    And what will your girlfriend say to you
    And the people out on the street they might glare at you
    And whadya know you're pretty self-conscious too

    So you run back and stuff yourselves in rigid business costumes
    Only at night to score is your leather uniform exhumed
    Why don't you take your social regulations
    And shove 'em up your a$$

    I don't think I've worn a Halloween costume since I was about eight or nine years old. I would never wear one to work.

    Hawai'ian shirt day? Count me in.
