Is this the famous cow costume you wore walking down the street in Manhattan? Did you scare all the kids in your new neighborhood or just make ‘em laugh till they wet their pants?
@Both moms: Indeed, many of the children looked a bit unnerved by the scary, hairy-faced cow who demanded that they say “Trick-or-treat!” before he would relinquish their candy. My wife at one point referred to me as “dirty old man cow” in front of a couple of them. I am misunderstood.
If you don’t get any “welcome to the neighborhood” plates of cookies or you notice children screaming and running away from you in the next few days, I’d recommend a new costume next year, perhaps the mime one?
Hehe. I’m just imagining how scarred the kids would be if you had worn last year’s costume…
(Or was it the year before last? Man, time is a cruel mistress.)
Hey man, I know you’re kinda new to this “TEH INTERNETS” thing, but the deal is, you’re not supposed to post incriminating pictures of *yourself*. That is your friends’ job. YOU post blackmail-worthy pics of THEM.

@Dotty: It was last year’s. And I don’t think they’re ready for that jelly.
