Sean, a friend of mine had a very elaborate costume at a party back in London: the Pope, with a lovely enormous plexiglas hood over his head. He'd got two mates to hold the thing in place, and the corker was, they kept moving it around to slip him different hats.

It was, as I recall, painfully effective.

A friend who lives in the Richmond (East Bay) hills once witnessed, as she went about her afternoon walk, a man leaning out of his house window wearing a Pope's miter-hat (redudant? not sure) and nothing else that she could see to set on fire a running shoe on top of a ladder sitting outside his window on the lawn.

To this day we are still wondering what on earth he was doing.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Aimee, are you still here?

HERE I AM AND I GOT YOUR PACKAGE AND I SUCK!!!

Seriously, cutest stuff. I am using the cards for special thank you cards. :)

No no You don't suck. I've skipped and skimmed so much, I thought you might've said you got it and I just skipped right over.

I just wanted to know if I needed to go down to the post office and get my bitch on.

One Halloween a group of people I know dressed up in lederhosen and dirndels ... and pasted bullet holes and fake blood in various places. They were German tourists in Miami (back when there'd been a series of murders). Tasteless ... but funny.

Vortex, thank you so much for the offer. It's nice to know there are localistas for venting to, as well as drinking with.

For the record, it doesn’t have to be just coffee.

That way people get it Wednesday, Thursday latest, and it doesn't moulder and go stale in a post office over the weekend

And is perfect with Saturday cartoons and hot coffee. That is, if you can manage to not eat it before then. Which I sometimes don’t manage.

DXM, I got the medals yesterday.

Must to distribute them now.

I, for one, would love to get together with localistas.
