What should I be for Halloween?
My office is allowing all us cubicle-drones to play dress-up on Friday. Now, I am rarely at a loss for ideas when it comes to costumes for All Hallow's Eve, but here's the rub:

The costume must be "appropriate."

Well, considering that rather stringent requirement, I'm at a complete loss. Little help, DUers?

2. Go like a black kitty cat
It's easy and that's what I'm doing. Make or buy yourself some cat ears (on a headband) and just wear black clothing. Get some black gloves and paint on some paws. Make a tail out of black pantyhose, stuffed and reinforced to hold its shape. Paint on some whiskers with eyebrow liner.

3. Scare everyone and go as Dick Cheney
Just clutch at your chest every so often to make it realistic.

6. Here's what I'm going to do....
Take a big white sheet, paint the 4th amendment on it, and be the ghost of the late 4th amendment.

7. There are a whole series of slang terms...
for cubicle workers. My personal favorite is "slack in the box". Why not look them up and choose one that you can dress up as.

10. tin foil
buy some tin foil. and a toy helicopter. Make yourself a hat out of tin foil and attach, with a coat hanger or something, the helicopter (black, of course) to the back, about 6 inches from your head, where you can never see it. voila! tin foil hat paranoid, no matter how quickly you turn, you'll never see the black helicopter following you.

11. More ideas
I once saw someone in bandages, rags and tatters a la one of the dead pharaohs, and this person was also decked out in much flashy jewelry, a tiara and a velvet cloak...
it was a grandmummy! *lol*
