My crazy Russian roommate, Elena, decided to go completely over the edge this Halloween. She made a belt out of 3 inch wide canvas, and then added a dozen cylindrical cannisters. She then put on an Arabian Shora headdress (And an admittedly skimpy outfit). I supplied the wiring, and a hand held detonator.

Presto! An instant Arab terrorist suicide bomber

She went to a local campus bar, The Underground, and won their $200 dollar prize for best costume. She says next year, she is going to First Avenue, a really big Looney Bin for Punkers youth hangout, where they have a $1000 dollar costume prize.

Make a Joyful Noise Unto The Lord, Bruce Chris

(There's 5 of us sharing digs in a student neighborhood, 3 guys and 2 gals. It's a great place to live.)

I hope nobody else beats her to the 1,000 prize next year, since you described her outfit to a "T"! Sounds funny, though. I only got to see little-kid costumes this year. Every year my husband decorates our yard with hilarious pumpkin carvings...this year he had a pumpkin cutting down a tree and having an accident with the chain saw....

Last year he had a big pumpkin with hands devouring little tiny pumpkins, their eyes wide open and their mouths in little "o"s...heh heh heh...
