Magda:
You really think I'd hand over cash for a few vaguely smutty comments on a fforum ? I've been paid for writing worse.

Nah, just wishful thinking.

I once went to a fancy dress party where this bloke turned up in a
green leotard with green rubber gloves and a green rubber hat.
We assumed he was just indulging in his own fetish when he said
"Stop ! Look ! Listen !"

and we realised he'd come as Darth Vader (or some such...)

I'm sure you're all clever enough to know.

A friend went to a fancy dress party in a red-stained T-shirt, holding a cardboard knife pushed through an empty cornflakes box. He claimed he was a cereal killer.

I had a friend who saftey-pinned a bunch of beanie babies (bean bag animals) to his shirt and pants, and claimed he was "animal magnetism".

Thats a good one...

Oh the fun we soon-to-be lawyers have. I know a friend of my who pinned law documents to a suit and claimed to be a "law suit" -- hey no one said we were creative.

I get to go to a murder mystery party this coming weekend... and I get to dress as a pioneer woman of the "wild west" (right up Skiffle's alley!) I'm the sherrif's wife. So I bought some fabric to make my costume. Hopefully I'll have it done by Wednesday. My hubby gets to go as a barber...complete with the apron, scissors and comb, and the red and white striped bow tie. And thankfully, he has the PERFECT hair for it at the moment...

His hair is naturally wavy and when it gets too long, it parts itself right down the middle and flips outward over his forehead. This was the "style" in the gold rush days, so all we have to do is add a little gel and it'll be perfect! We might even trim his mustache (which is also a little too long at the moment) into a quasi-handlebar style, complete with wax. Then we can trim it Sunday night when we get home from the weekend bash. Wouldn't wanna send him to work looking like that! LOL

AAC: sounds like tremendous fun and cheers for making effort to dress the part - both of you. The undertaker with the unnerving stare in my Darrow westerns has just grown a moustache. He's in the local amateur dramatic society and they've cast him as the villian of their lastest melodrama. He looks more sinister than ever...

You know, this game is rather like Zen. (No, Skiffle, not _that_ one.) Zen enthusiasts are welcome to correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the case that the more you know about Zen, the less you actually know, and you become a Zen master by eventually knowing nothing at all?

Sounds like my Heidi. She's a very pretty kitty, but unfortunately not the sharpest pencil in the box.

I'll get you back, don't you worry. Revenge is sweet (but not fattening).
