NNNHALLOWEEN
PHOTOSNNN
Here is a collection
of a few of my recent Halloween costumes. Each year I try to come
up with a costume that outdoes the previous year. I'm not sure that
my costumes are getting better each year, though. Judge for yourself.
1995: My first costume in the EE Department.
I dressed up as my boss. I'm the one on the right. In case
you're wondering, I wasn't fired. This costume served double duty
-- I wore it to a party later that night and told everyone that I was dressed
as Sean Connery.
1996: My FAVORITE costume to date. I
dressed up as a baby riding on the back of a grandmother. This costume
had the office staff laughing hysterically all day. I don't think
anyone got any work done that day. Every time someone would walk
by my office, they would crack up.
1997: I dressed up as an executioner.
The costume itself wasn't anything special. However, the severed
hand that I'm holding was really neat -- it's my actual hand. The
gloved hand holding it is fake. I would keep the severed hand really
still and then suddenly make it twitch. A few people just couldn't
figure out HOW I was able to make that hand move like that. Rumor
has it that I accidentally freaked out a student who came to my office
to ask a question.
1998: Another optical illusion type of
costume. (Do you see a pattern developing?) Here I'm dressed up as
a headless skeleton. If you're astute, you would recognize the person
next to my as my boss from the 1995 photograph. This costume was
VERY uncomfortable. I couldn't eat or talk all day.
1999: Yet ANOTHER optical illusion costume.
This year, I was a cannibal's dinner. I was really in hot water because
of this costume. Unlike 1998, I could eat and talk in this costume.
I couldn't sit down, though.
2000: This year we did a group theme, The Addams
Family: Grandmama, Wednesday, Pugsly, Cousin Itt (me!), and Gomaz
(holding Thing) were all present. Morticia was a party pooper and
refused to wear her costume. My "Cousin Itt" costume was extremely
hot. Once again, I couldn't sit down or eat in this costume.
Maybe next year I'll go back to a functional costume . . . Nah!
2001: Our departmental theme this year was
Nursery Rhymes. I decided to go as Little Miss Muffett and the Spider
(who sat down beside her). I basically reused my 1996 costume,
but created a large papier mache spider body to hide the babies body.
The legs came from Lowe's (the spider's legs, not MY legs).
