Topical Halloween ideas

[Michael Oltmans <moltmans@>]

Topical Halloween ideas:

You could go as a sad mime with a Yankee's hat.  Or maybe you feel 
politically motivated, you could go trick or treating in swing states as 
the grim reaper and tell people if they vote for Bush you'll revisit 
them on Tuesday night. "Trick or treat!!!"  You could even combine the 
baseball and political theme and go as Schilling, you could hobble 
around on crutches and tell people to vote for Bush but not actually do 
anything about it because you need to go to the doctor.  As a bonus you 
can get a cute nurse to attend to your injuries (but not to cute because 
you are impersonating a Born Again Christian after all).

Or maybe you're just lame, then you can get a bald head thingy and go as 
a haggard PhD student who just pulled out all their hair (bonus points 
for actually pulling out your hair).

For the intellectually inclined you could dress up as a recently 
deceased French Postmodernist, e.g, Jacques Derrida or perhaps an ailing 
world leader currently visiting France.

You could also just show up at a Halloween party and light the place on 
fire and break stuff in celebration of the World Series.  Or just dress 
up as Ron Rivest to honor him for decrypting the curse by throwing out 
the first Red Sox pitch (http://web.mit.edu/spotlight/reverse-curse/).

Or you could go as a GSB message by taping lame top ten lists (some 
disguised as pros. ehhmmm) and factitious quotes attributed to world 
"famous" academics (Pete Szolovits says, "That's my favorite type").

          Once you are in 32, just take the G-elevator to the 9th
      floor and we will be in the lounge that you will be looking at

People eligible for their free beverage this week:
Schilling, Bush, Grim Reaper, cute nurses, Ron, Pete, and the estate of 
Jacques Derrida.  Sorry Red Sox fans and rioters are not eligible.
