Top ten list by hubby for your enjoyment
since my hubby Machiabelly never adds to his blog (says he dont have time..pfft!) im going to post his current top 10 list that he wrote. i love the way he writes and even more, love is sense o'humor.
this also gave me an idea for my October poll. (see poll on the right).
oh yeah...the names in this have been changed to protect the innocent *snicker*
TOP TEN by Machiabelly:
Halloween time is coming and once again it is time for me to think of what I should dress up as. Actually, I have been thinking about it since May. You see, Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year, and not just for the candy. I love the whole escapism of it. The chance to act like a kid again is a very cool thing to me, and I am surprised more people don't seize the opportunity. I know, I know, I act like a child all the time, so why is Halloween any different. Well, on Halloween I am supposed to act like a child. What I don't understand is why each Halloween we seem to have fewer people in costume in the office, even when we have more employees. The only conclusion I can draw is that too many of my coworkers are growing up. How very sad. You have no choice about growing older, but you can fight "growing up" tooth and nail...and I do. So once again this year, you will see me here in costume. I would love to see many of you dressed up as well. I have my costume ideas down to ten. Feel free and let me know which one you would like to see me wear.
TOP TEN COSTUME IDEAS FOR HALLOWEEN.
10. Some sort of homage to the summer Olympics. Either a Lycra body suit and Darth Vader helmet like bike racers, or a Speedo in honour of the swim team. I am leaning towards the Speedo, but the hours of waxing to achieve the authentic swimmer look seem daunting.
9. I know, I will go as the hardest working man at the STC. Nah, I wear that costume every day.
8. JoeBob, Wilbur, and I were going to go as Destiny's Child, but that fell through when they wouldn't agree that I was obviously Beyonce. What a couple of Prima Donnas those guys are.
7. I could go as Anne of Green Gables, everyone loves Anne. What? You don't love Anne?!? Now I have to report you to the Re-education Centre, I mean Spa. Yeah, that's it; I have to report you to the spa. You'll love it.
6. With just a little carving I could go as Charles Manson. Do you think enough time has passed for a Manson costume to be considered fun and wacky?
5. Another costume idea that was ruined by a selfish friend was Starsky and Hutch. Just because it was her idea, SallySue thought that she should be Hutch. I can't believe that she really thought I was more Paul Michael Glaser then David Soul. Needless to say, that costume isn't going to be happening.
4. I was thinking of dressing up as Cher, but I decided not too. I figured that with my vocal talents, and tall svelte form, it was almost a clichéd costume for me.
3. Maybe I should break out my Webster costume again. It is a little hard to get into, and hard on the back...but it is worth it.
2. I could always show how hip I am, and go as one of the rap singers the kids seem so into these days. I know...I will go as Vanilla Ice.
1.How about a side show freak? "The World's Tallest Dwarf", or "The Amazing Bearded Man". I think I can work something up for those.
Well those are the ten best ideas I have for a costume, pretty sad when you come to think of it. Oh well...I hope you all have a happy Halloween, and for goodness sake...get dressed up in costume for work.
