<p>OK SBmom-
Then I'll confess younger s's costume the next year- he put on one of those multi-colored clown wigs and my old college cap and gown-- Any guesses???
Answer: Dennis Rodman graduating kindergarten.
He also bought a black shoulder length pageboy wig and a silver glove and went as... of course.. Michael Jackson (back in the days of "thriller", I believe.
Gee... I think I see a trend....</p>
<p>I think we've had this discussion before... because I remember telling of the year my grad school roomates and I went as oreo cookies, and also the year I went wearing a black leotard and tights, with a full length slip over them. On the slip was a piece of paper safety-pinned on that said "freudian". Yup-- I went as a freudian slip.</p>
<p>Re: stickshift driving</p>
<p>That's what parking lots were invented for! The first time my dad took me to one to learn to drive, I made so much noise that someone called the cops. Pulled over before I even had a license.... :(</p>
<p>Find an office complex today or tomorrow and go driving there - usually very empty on weekends. Carry a small flask with you (cosmos, anyone?) for those times when you feel like you have shaken baby syndrome and can smell the burning clutch. :)</p>
<p>Re: Freudian slip. I'm starting the countdown until TheDad makes his Jungian negligee joke - 5... 4... 3... 2...</p>
<p>Shhh! I'm here against my counselor's orders, eavesdropping right here under the booth (have been tickling sluggbug's knee occasionally (and she thought it was a roach -- boy is she drunk!) - - </p>
<p>I've been at AA for the last few months (could have sworn I saw marite and sybbie there, sybbie had a cast on her foot and all...but hey, maybe they weren't real but just DDT delusions ...). It was bad, the addiction to bar hang here was so overpowering it got in the way of my life....</p>
<p>But I am stronger now. I can handle it. I'm climbing up and if you don't mind will settle down for a coke and some laughs -- I see there have been quite a few since I was last here.</p>
<p>Crash!!</p>
<p>where have you been? The last we heard you were traipsing after some young towel boy. Yeah you were definitely having delusions if you though you saw me at an AA meeting (I'll admit to cutting down a little) but if some of us left (slugg, Sb) curmmie and dodds would probably go out of business . </p>
<p>Hey you know us, we'll glady push someone out of your seat :) </p>
<p>welcome back, I can have a pepsi with ya. Does this mean you are no longer going to sing a mean torch song???</p>
<p>Big toast to Mudgette. I guess we may now have to actually pay for a few drinks :)</p>
<p>Crash,
Does DDT stand for "Designated Driver Training?" We have free soft drinks for DD's. You're lucky you found space under the booth. Confidentilia College needed dorm space so....well, you know some students really want a single.... Maybe that's why we're seeing so much of Aries lately? Aries, are you and Crash umm...crashing here?</p>
<p>Good to see ya crash. Stick around and we'll see if we can get CC to let you organize a "towel party" :eek: here at the Alley. Of course for me it would be one of those really awful "Welcome to Myrtle Beach" beach towels, but still.....</p>
<p>"Towel! Towel! Towel!" just doesn't have the same ring as "Toga! Toga! Toga!".</p>
<p>If you are drunk enough towel towel towel will sound just like toga toga toga.</p>
<p>firefly~ and alu~</p>
<p>you have reminded me why a visit to Sinner's Alley is always a good thing :D</p>
<p>Mudre - Do you think I can still hang on to my wild reputation SOBER? Well, I'll try...</p>
<p>I must admit, I thought the warm air hitting my face was a heat vent but ...maybe it's another...person? Who's down here with me?? To tell the truth, it's very dark and there are alot of hairy legs and knee socks making it hard to see past but perhaps there is a groper in my midst. What fun! </p>
<p>Dodds - I think DDT is some kind of crop chemical we shipped down to Equador to stave off locust plagues...or does it stand for Delightfully Devilish Triller? Can't recall but you know what I really meant - the DT's, the quivers, the shakes and shabooties. ...just thinking on it makes me get uproarious. I need a drink to calm my nerves. What's up there anyway?!!! Got any good Scotch?</p>
<p>Sorry Mudge (I really should have taken the typing course in high school...)</p>
<p>We missed you, crash. You do have a way with words. Virtually drunk or virtually sober.</p>
<p>I thought it was Tora, Tora, Tora, in which case you can pretend you're Japanese and really talking about towels.</p>
<p>My day job sure is interfering with my CC life. I'm just now getting around to posting about halloween costumes and that was way at the top of the page. I can sew but not very well, and greatly enjoyed making things that would only be worn a couple of times - in the dark. My favorites were Raphael (yes, the Ninja Turtle one) and a mastadon costume (don't ask) for the 90 lb. dog. He seemed to enjoy wearing it. (Scary, I know.) </p>
<p>But the costume that best fits the theme here was a quickie I made with a poster board, duct tape and a little paint. In college I went as a Coors can, complete with a pop top. </p>
<p>Cur, from one tuba parent to another, a big loud oompah to your D. She will have some hard choices come April.</p>
<p>Me? Crashing here?</p>
<p>I had seen this "Sinner's Alley" thread and was wary of such frivolity and nonsense. :p Then I wandered by... my life at the law school thread isn't keeping me busy... and those drinks - y'all know how to have a good time!</p>
<p>over30 - my magnum opus was also a Ninja turtle - Michaelangelo. Made from a paper grocery bag cut into the shape of the vest with color, belt etc. all Magic-Markered on. Over the winter parka (it is Maine here!) with a green turtleneck and green tights, it gave the precisely right muscular appearance. Green face paint, head band, plastic numchucks and, le voila!</p>
<p>I do have photos if there is to be a bake-off competition :D</p>
<p>OMG. Now Marite is making me LOL. What is the world coming to?</p>
<p>IT IS GOOD TO BE KLINGON! :D</p>
<p>Been off fighting the Romulans, the Ferengi, the Borg, and the Cardassians who live next door. Caught in the epic battle over a shared driveway, a lone Klingon (really badass) warrior chick confronted the *bIHnuch<a href="cowards">/i</a> in their own miserable corner of space (a.k.a. their porch) after they made an illfated and uneducated attempt to hang up our landscaping project by calling a county ordinance enforcement officer.</p>
<p>Worthless *qoH<a href="fools">/i</a>! They should read more (building codes, at least). The good news is that I have a new comrade named Conrad, the county ordinance enforcement officer. ;)</p>
<p>Join me for some heart of targh and a flagon of blood wine. Honor goes to the Klingon who defends her driveway! Today is a good day to die!...And, then, I have to go grocery shopping. :)</p>
