Shit's all sorts of different now.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Because books.

My mom once made into a little green elf, which was the cutest thing ever. Except she made me little booties -- out of felt. They were pretty much gone by the time we'd gone one block.

My favorite costume was the year I was Raggedy Ann. I had a huge doll, as big as I was, and I actually wore her clothes, and my mom made me a red yarn wig.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My sister dressed up as Raggedy Ann when we shared an apartment after graduating from college. She was working part-time at Joann Fabrics, made her own costume and wore it to work that night. She came home, telling me about a little girl in a stroller whose eyes bugged out when she saw Kris, and kept pointing her out every time she caught sight of her in her outfit, saying, "Rag Ann! Rag Ann!!"

We thought about a mini-Galadriel for Em. Not sure if she'd keep the eartips on though.

Ooh! Very cool.

every time she caught sight of her in her outfit, saying, "Rag Ann! Rag Ann!!"

Sadly, Sara would have no idea who Raggedy Ann is. Right now she's veering between wanting to be a dinosaur, a butterfly, a princess, and something I can't remember.

I don't like the Aunty Entity much, although much work went into that bad boy.

That's very drag queeny for an actual, you know, woman.

My favorite bit from Top Model this week: "She looks like a drag queen in this picture!" "Yeah, I like that about her!"

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.

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

Okay, thanks.

Dodging bullets, catching swords, engine belts. One of these is not like the other.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

HOW TO - Build a better bat costume (from an umbrella!)
