You can be aloof for Halloween. Do they seriously force grown people to dress up for Halloween? God that sucks.

When Halloween comes around, we're all majorettes in the Parade of Workplace Humiliation. Where I live, one week of every summer is called Buffalo Days, and the whole city is expected to dress up as cowboys or dirt-poor Eastern European settlers. By strange coincidence, this week's Strong Bad email features motivational posters.

Go dressed normal. When they ask you what you are, reply: "I'm a serial killer. We look just like everyone else." Ha! And may I say, HA HA! *Ahem* I got that from the first Addams family movie. That said, you know if you want to fit in, you have to play nice with the other kiddies. Tragic, I know. Go to Wal-Mart and get one of those pirate kits with the hat, eyepatch and hook. That should be enough. Hm. Or get one of those light up Afro wigs. Or one of those headbands with goofy antenna. That should satisfy them. If all else fails, just bring lots of candy. Being their chocolate pimp will most probably earn you forgiveness.

Taking a tip from Gem-chan, I'll tell you my best & easiest costume ever. Take a black eyeliner and draw an X on your forhead! Yes, you have X'd yourself from the world and are now a MANSON FAMILY MEMBER Halloween!!!! Of course, this could freak out the new workplace peeps a bit too much, even for Scary Day. I actually did this at a Halloween party as a last-minute didn't-expect-to-go costume...lemme tell you, people get WEIRDED OUT. ON Halloween!! All the nerve!! Anyway...it's super easy and you can wear whatever other clothes you want, especially jeans!

Go as a really offensive stereotype and they'll never ask you to dress up again! OR I have a tie with skeletons on it you could wear. It's one of those "I'm a stuffy businessman, but look I'm down with the kids" type of thing. Which actually leads me to my best ideas yet...dress as Kenny (yer man not the South Park one) or just any old dude (that happens to wear Kenny's clothes). OR dress as a mountain biker! I know you have that outfit. Boy I am just full of ideas this morning, or at least I am full of something...

My dad has neck bolts that he wears with his normal clothes on Halloween. It's actually pretty funny. Suit, tie, Frankenneck. However, I go with pirate. Do it half assed and tell everyone you're deficient in Vitamin Arrrrrrrr.
