Halloween '04

A few of us got together last Halloween, and some Irish C alums pu together the best set of theme costumes I've ever seen.

It was a high-steaks evening for Garret.

Sara went as Gretchen from "Mean Girls," and, believe it or not, one guy actually recognized that Alana was supposed to be Paris Hilton.

I spent a bunch of money to have retractable adamantium claws grafted to my unbreakable skeleton.

Pac Man (Geoff) devours one of those pesky ghosts (Lewis).

All four ghost costumes, which were worn by Lewis, Adam, John Winkler and Kevin (pictured) were fully reversible. Ghosts change color when Pac Man eats a power pellet.

Surprise! It's Mad Dawg!

Rood, as Hef, poses with Catwoman (Garret's little sister Lindsay).

The hot referee was not happy we made her pose with Hef. After the party, Lewis was about five minutes away from nailing this chick when Geoff flipped out and made him leave her apartment. Illegal block in the cock, Mad Dawg, fifteen yards, automatic first down!

Tonight's another Halloween party. Hopefully more costumes soon. And maybe some more classics. If anybody else has pix, let's see 'em!

Big Tips

One of the great things about living in Irish C was that you could always turn to somebody for advice. Whether you needed somebody to critique a Human Event essay, answer some questions about the opposite sex or expound upon the significance of McDonaldland characters (and their food counterparts and similarities to H.R. Puffinstuff), Irish C was busting with geniuses ready to close their textbooks (or, more likely, to put down their N64 controllers) and help you out.

In the spirit of that, I'm using this blog to compile some advice for a fellow Irish C-er.

Due to the sensitive nature of the subject, I can't name this guy by name, so here are some hints as to who he is:

• His nicknames included "the whiney bitch" and "Junior Mint."
• He once drank an entire red cup of Parrot Bay and blew $350 at Dream Palace Cabaret.
• He really tried his damnedest to be everybody's best friend and was a pretty damn good friend to all of us.
• His name rhymes with "Madam Mess."

The weekend before Halloween, this guy's got a special lady coming to visit him. As we are all possessed of the sagest of sage advice, we should use the comment section of this post to give our main man some tips on how to make the weekend unforgettable (and seal the freakin' deal so as not to wind up like Steve Carrell's character in this summer's blockbuster hit comedy).

In your comments, please remember that our main man will probably be attending costume parties that weekend, and he lives in a house with a three gross dudes (no offense, gross dudes).

So let the advice pour fourth like a warm maple syrup. You know he'd do the same for you if you needed help.

For Those About To Rock

There was a party at Lindsey and Darcy's house last year, and a bunch of us decided to rock out as hard as we could. Can you determine which one of us rocked the hardest?
