We've put together 21 posts over the past few weeks and boy, are our fingers tired! Hey, I'm here all week, try the veal. On behalf of all of us here at Downward Brent Lee (which, admittedly, does sound like a yoga pose), we want to wish you a happy and safe Halloween. But what would Downward Brent Lee be without some friendly advice to get you through the weekend? We'd be nothing I tell you, NOTHING!
Now, I've dressed as all kinds of things for Halloween. I've been a bum, a hippie, a ninja, a ghost, Woody Woodpecker, a goth (with Greg Kathol), an Assistant Director of Admission, Bing Crosby, and an evil lifeguard. Why do I bring this up? Good question, I'm not quite sure myself.
Right, advice. Okay, be sure you are visible to others if you are going trick-or-treating.
Yes, I think that will. I think people will see you from a mile away dressed like that. Even better, try it at the airport. They're always up for a good laugh. I'll give you a dollar if you try it.
Make sure you don't wear the same thing as everyone else. It is just embarrassing.
You want to ensure that you stay topical. Don't stray too far from the current or the timeless.
Anyone remember Judge Lance Ito? I thought so.
You don't want to be too political and ostracize yourself too quickly. I'm looking at you Joe The Plumber. This could also be a little too far from topical.
Stay current. Sure, there will be Lady Gagas galore and a Snooki here and there. What about Tom Bosley?
Last year the big hit was Billy Mays.
After you have hit the mean streets of your suburban neighborhood with pillowcases full of candy, rush right home before it gets too dark and all the spooks come out. There is nothing worse than being out when people are tossing toilet paper into trees or flinging failed chicken spawn (those are eggs folks) at windows. Nope, come on home and lay your candy out on the table and make sure that there is nothing unsafe in that bag. Candy Apples are a no go. Same with popcorn. Ugh, and those horrible wax teeth. Just toss 'em. And that stupid dentist who handed out the toothbrush? Doesn't he know about the mean kids? Once you have that sorted, get a box and put half of the candy in the box, especially the M&Ms and 3 Musketeers and write my name on the box. That's Justin Voss, just write it right there on top. Ok, now seal it up with some tape and send it to the post office. Don't forget to buy the insurance, we don't want something happening to it.
There, now you have had a safe and sane Halloween and you will be around for the wedding. Turns out that Halloween planning is just as difficult. I think I have found a new career.
