My company is crazy into celebrating. Today is our Halloween party. Some offices even had a "Bloody Mary Bar". Kids will be coming in later to Trick-or-treat in the cubes in the offices and all are invited to dress up.

I work from home, but that didn't stop me. Our software allows you to use a "Green Screen" to show behind you in meetings. So it was fun to use to create my "Stinky Pete" box from "Toy Story 2".

Post your favorite costumes from this year on this thread:

If you aren't familiar with the character, then shame on you. He was voiced by Kelsey Grammer as the "villain" in the movie. A couple of "Outtakes"

I will be Gru from Despicable Me for a friend's Halloween party and for our church's Greet & Treat.

Here is the movie version



And the Steve Carell version (he was the voice of Gru!)

I love that idea. Especially if you are bald.

I am.

But I have a beard which will be getting shaved off for the weekend. Hopefully my two little boys don't freak out at the stranger in their house, they've never seen me without it.

I did that once to a Dog I had. I had the dog for a year or two. All that time I had a beard. One morning I shaved it off and he wouldn't even come to me for a while. Loads of fun!

That was my costume last year. Easy costume for a bald guy... Just a black coat and a grey and black scarf.

This year, I'm going even simpler: surplus woodland camo.

I played Gru for Halloween 2013 and my wife and kids were Minions. I fabricated goggles and the "G" emblems for them and a Gru freeze ray gun for me. They wore overalls and yellow sweatshirts and I bought a Gru outfit with headpiece from Costume Discounters me (since I'm not quite bald). Voice practice as Gru was important, too. The neighborhood kids loved it when I spoke with them using it.

Edit: Rolan, forgot to add, love your Stinky Pete outfit!

We had our costume change contest today. About 7 bucks for a Tyvex suit, a surplus gas mask and surplus Geiger counter, instant Hazmat guy!

This is, by far, the cutest one I've ever seen

The real Gru:



PASig's Gru:

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

We went to our big annual Halloween costume party on Saturday night. Since I'm in the midst of chemo, I thought this was the way to go....

Enjoy and God Bless
