      I wanted to go as Nursie from Black Adder, but I wasn’t fast enough to get a cow costume and make 2 really horrible looking udders. (that’s one of my favorite episodes, because Hugh Laurie is in it as the master of disguise, who is killed because he’s in a cow costume, whereas nursie is a sad old woman with an udder fixation).

            They might have been filling a jerrycan with gas for some piece of outdoor equipment. What machines they’re allowed to use varies a lot from one group to another, and the rules are often non-intuitive. Where I live, for example, they have to use manual lawnmowers, but they can use gas weedwhackers.

            I think our Mennonites (granted they aren’t traditional Amish) cheat on their pastries. My father in law bought a pie from them for an exorbitant amount and I’m pretty sure the cherries were commercially canned.

We used to refer to the road-hogging buggies as Yoders, eg “Get outta the way, ya Yoder!” It’s one of those things that sounds dirty without actually being very rude. :)

            OMG tijde, I work in Wakarusa! (about 10-20 miles from Goshen) Yeah, the one around here haven’t gotten the memo about getting on the side of the road, I guess. I have no hate for the Amish, even though the female ones always give me dirty looks when I’m going into the gas station. I’m sure my flame red hair and low cut shirts have NOTHING to do with that!!!

            Yup, I know Wakarusa! I also have bright red hair ala Molotov Cocktease, and I too found the women to be rather icy, at least in places like WalMart. I don’t know why, but man, them ladies wuz brusque. I originally mentioned that in my first post, actually, but deleted it to avoid sounding any more like a hater.

            That area has the best names… Wakarusa, Mishawaka, Napanee. DH and I adopted “Napanee” as a name for the itchy feeling you get from hathair, or when it’s time to trim the pubes, lol.

Although I want to cry when I see a no-smoking sign in a restaurant or bar, being a smoker, I also had the unpleasant experience of trying to eat dinner at a restaurant once while a guy two tables over smoked a big fat cigar. I couldn’t eat, the smell mademe so sick. I’m sure there are a lot of non-smokers who feel the same around cigarettes.

            I live in Porter county and can say with certainty that smoking in bars is alive and well here. All of the bars in my town are still smoke-friendly. Maybe it’s on a town-by-town basis, though? I think Valparaiso is mostly (if not all) smoke-less. They have, however, taken smoking out of restaurants as far as I know. I have not seen one with a smoking section in a long time.

            Smoking ban in Scotland is going good. The street cafe culture is now alive and well in Glasgow, something the council had tried and failed to encourage for some years before – somehow the idea of eating your dinner on the street at these latitudes failed to appeal for at least 10 months of the year. But then they banned smoking inside public buildings, and hey presto! Restaurant terraces everywhere.

            And people sit out in them in December! That’s some serious addiction right there.

            Actually, I did mean Valpo, unhipsterchick! I do still live in MC, and I always lament when we go over to Valpo or Merrillville that there are no smoking sections in any of the restaurants! Usually when we go over there, it’s the only time we get out to eat without the kids, and we won’t sit in smoking with them.
            I will say, I haven’t been in any of the bars. Closest was Houligans in Chesterton, and I was too busy being appalled by all the bajingo hanging out of girls’ dresses to worry about smoking!!

            There are plenty of other bars (all smoke-friendly) in Chesterton, several of them are actually nice :) I can easily think of 11 I’ve been in at least once. Some are closed or moved or changed names/owners now. Here in town, there are 3 or 4 where we still semi-regularly go.

            Or Scotland. Breastfeeding is now a legal right here – as in nobody can stop you doing it in a public place – so it’s gradually becoming commoner, and therefore less embarrassing, to see a mum whip it out in public.

            For feeding purposes only, I hasten to add.

I have four kids now that love to wear their boob hats every where. Now that the weather is getting cooler we’ll bring them back out. When I find them all I will submit a pic.

      There’s a place for you in my corner, Aliceblue. I shudder whenever I see one, in any size (the smaller ones seem sneakier, somehow, but maybe that’s just me).

      When a past coworker had a baby, one of the editors working for her gave her a hand-knitted sock monkey that a friend of his had made. Just handed her a big Macy’s shopping bag with this disgustingly long-limbed thing in it. The body was maybe 12 inches tall, but the limbs were at least 30. She was gracious about it. Took it home and her infant daughter screamed in terror. Mr. Sock Monkey quickly made friends with Mr. Incinerator.

    These are all such good costumes! Love Sloth, soulsurfer, Ira and everyone. Being Pam was awesome because I just got to drink, eat junk food and yell at people. Happy Halloween!

    Helen, Helen…thanks for saving the best one for last. It was like a fantastic punch line at the end of the best joke EVAR.

    Ooooh, I’m sad :-( My picture didn’t make it on here – we went as Titanic victims. Fancy dresses, wet hair, frost makeup, and lifeboat oars! I would post a pic if I knew how to do that :-P

    The last costume looks extremely real.. I mean no seams? And the details pretty damn good. I mean the hand holding the curling iron looks big, and theres only 3 fingers, and only 3 knuckles? O.o Well minus the thumb. Anyone else notice that?

    My not-yet-existant first child is totally getting a sock monkey costume.

    Oh, hey, regarding the final picture, could we maybe get a little more warning next time?! I’m too sober to see that kind of thing and not have freaky-ass dreams … Off to ask Mr. Walker and Mr. Daniels to try to erase that section of my memory.

    My furry son recognized the final picture immediately:

    “It’s a Photoshop by Nexus T, of ‘Project-P’ fame.”

    The artist’s site has been down since at least 2005, but he remains legend among furry artists. At any rate, the Regretsy copyright is inappropriate.

    Ooooh, I do love me some Halloween costumey goodness! The shark & surfer girl-awesomeness! Stormtrooper rocks!, and um, the gin just hit me, so i can’t remember all the other groovy costumes, but the udder last pic will haunt my (already effed up) dreams tonight for sure! Hmm, maybe more gin will make it better?

    Um, so I lied by mistake- I’m drinking scotch, not gin, which makes way more sense! Also-the little girl as Scarlett O’hara- super cute, and the sock puppet, and the Lichenstein, and the Amish, ok, now I’m rambling, and it’s really hard to type while tipsy on my phone ….

    I just want to say that these costumes have inspired me, and in honor of my avatar, my spouse and I WILL be attending Renfest as Marty and Doc.

    When I saw the skants picture, my initial thought was, “Did HKpril accidentally toss a personal picture in here?”

    That last teat lady it feckin terrifying, but fair play for the amount of work, and what I can only imagine is a deeply uncomfortable costume.

    This year I dressed as a Klingon, and I let my inner nerd out…here is a step by step guide to how I made the costume.
