Do you mean that your b-day is 3/23, too, Tom?
No, but it's pretty close, though. It's 4/3.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hey! Maybe you can convince said friend to carry me around on his back and I can be masterblaster! And then you could keep telling me I run Bartertown!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm a little Pol Pot, short and stout!
Hee!
One time my parents and I were Tinkerbell, Peter Pan, and Nana the dog. That was cute. It was the year I had a gymnastics recital, which furnished the light green leotard with fluttery sleeves which was, I'm sure, inspiration for the whole thing.
Every time you people say "Serpentine," it only makes me have "Welcome to the Jungle" in my head.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Joe and are thinking Tink, Peter, and Cap'n Hook. Or Superman, SuperGirl, and Beppo the SuperMonkey. (I prolly already posted this idea.)

Serpentine makes me think of my mechanic and how I really need to take the car in for an oil change....
Pretty sure my parents never dressed up when I was growing up.

Always Anti-fascist!
My mom used to dress as Wonder Woman a lot. And my Dad, at 6' 7" could be creepy in a Wookiee mask.

I remember the time my parents went to a grownup Halloween party. Mom really worked hard making their costumes--he went as Caesar, she as Cleopatra. He had the full toga gear, complete with purple outer robe and laurel leaf crown, and she had a very pretty gown with a brown wig in Elizabeth-Taylor-as-Cleopatra 'do and my brother's rubber snake pinned to her chest in biting mode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty damned sure my parents never dressed as anything, and if they did, it's in a context of which I don't want to think.
Mad Max costumes. I don't like the Aunty Entity much, although much work went into that bad boy. I'd like to marry the guard, though.

My mom and dad dress up as couples a lot. My favorites were The Killer Bees from SNL and the purple two-headed monster from Sesame Street.

the purple two-headed monster from Sesame Street.
I was that, or at least A purple two-headed monster, in fifth grade with my best friend. We made our costume out of sheets that we dyed and sewed together.
