I think a lot of honest moderates may have concluded we can't afford Republicans any more until the Republican party undergoes major changes.
Yeah, I'd like to believe that, but frankly I'm skeptical. We'll see in November.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
SERPENTINE!
What is this? My only point of reference is a long sword defense.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bless the krav Halloween party, or I'd never have an excuse to dress up.
Some people put a lot of effort into the outfits--last year's pair costume winners were the Incredibles, and they looked just that. Made from scratch too, I think including the padding. Single winner was a guy who dressed up as one of the female instructors. Terrible likeness, but really very funny.
The other things that flashed through my mind were: Britney Warrior Princess, Death, Alice in Wonderland, and Alice Cooper in Wonderland.
But I like Aunty Entity the most.
Someone came as The Crow to the krav party last year, and I'll never be able to dress as that around those people. He was terrifying looking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Halloween used to be my favorite! But I got really lame over the last couple of years, thanks to stupid holiday-killing grad school. So far I have no plans and no ideas, although the idea of dressing up for work was floated. Not sure what I'd do for that, since it would involve wearing it all day, including commuting.

Watch the original In-Laws--it's the preferred CIA method of running when dodging bullets, according to Peter Falk in the film.

Two years ago we had near-mandatory Halloween participation at work. Luckily I had meetings to go to that meant I couldn't dress up, but I was still drafted to decorate our work area. We ended up winning second place in the building competition, but the organiser never redeemed the gift cert, as far as I can tell.

I can never remember the movie, but I can remember the moment--they go back to run the terrain again, right? Serpentine?
There's one guy in my instructor group at krav with whom I share a subsconscious trigger. Couldn't tell you what it is, in the light of day, but when we're taught a certain thing...we look at each other and say "Serpentine!" under our breath.
Since we're not in the bullet dodging business, I can't even begin to guess.
