Halloween Tips for Bone Crackers

Deb Thompson over at Write Lightning has provided a number of links that illustrate how Halloween is a different affair for today's children compared to when I was a kid (back when the Rocky Mountains were just lumpy bits).

But it's not just the kids who have special considerations nowadays. Even professionals have to consider the implications of how they choose to observe Halloween, and thus we have things like tips for costumes for chiropractors. The commonsense common theme is that these folks should avoid attaching pointy objects to their fingers.

[Someone with more time and creativity than me might be able to come up with similar costuming tips for other professions. Hint, hint.]

Like, for instance, bloggers SHOULD use pointy tips for their fingers?

I can't think of a single situation where pointy fingers aren't a recommended accessory for a blogger. ;-)

I can't remember the town, but sometime in the last month or so, I was somewhere and a lady was talking about dressing up as "static electricity". Intrigued, I had to go there...

She glued socks, underwear, dryer lint, (anything that might attract or be attracted by static electricity) onto her black outfit. I guess her partner might have gone as Downy Ultra Concentrated?

I'm still trying to imagine what she looked like.

Well, there's a commercial where a guy is floating in the pool, and is supposed to be "wood." I guess it doesn't take a huge spark of imagination to become static. (Get it...spark? Heh.)

Come to think of it, I'm usually static by this time every night anyway.
