Mystery Halloween costume
by Denise Sawicki on October 10, 2009
This might look like two guys in ugly clothes, but in reality it is a very nerdy Halloween costume. Can anyone figure it out?

Newhart was my first thought too. I'm stumped. I dunno, Earl from Dinosaurs hanging out with his good friend Tim Robbins from The Shawshank Redemption?

;-D

Good guesses but no. I maybe should have said "geeky" in place of nerdy. They are very famous characters but not dressed in their usual outfits.

Uhh... Mike Nesmith and Davey Jones?
Amy Austin | October 10, 2009
Ha -- another good one! (But I would have said Peter Tork instead of Mickey Dolenz *or* Davy Jones... ;-D)

Jack Nicholson and another nut from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

Bono and The Edge?
Amy Austin | October 11, 2009
Er... Sylvester Stallone and Burgess Meredith?

Kirk and Spock in City on the Edge of Forever?

Steve, you are correct! City on the edge of forever. I will post the picture of the actors in this garb shortly.

Yes! I am King of the Geeks! I'll expect my trophy in the mail. :-)

Here is the real picture. This is supposedly the best Star Trek episode of all time. Kirk and Spock go back in time to 1930's Earth and steal these clothes to fit in with the populace. Spock puts on the stocking cap to hide his ears. It was subtle but I knew you guys could get it with all your goo prowess.

Damn, Steve... is *everything* a competition with you??? ;-p

Sickening, isn't it? It ain't easy being me.
Amy Austin | October 11, 2009
Pshh. And I thought I was bad.

Steve West. Seriously man, you freak me out. Your combination of geekiness and competence is uncanny.

We might try to make Spock brows but I'm not sure any of us are that talented with makeup :).
It is not really a Halloween costume, it is for our convention we are going to this weekend. There should be a lot of Trekkies there, one would think. If anyone got the joke it would make our day :-P.

Back in Fargo
I have arrived home after a safe and uneventful flight. Thanks for the memories! It was fun. Go »Lost Things
Darrin's sheet and pillowcase disappeared some time back, and I just discovered my nice black pants are missing. I almost always wear jeans so I have no idea how long they have been gone. We searched thoroughly for these items and the only theory we can come up with is that Darrin's ex-girlfriend took them. Go »Vanity
So, is my new picture OK? Too weird of an angle? I think it is a better likeness than the old one because I look kind of worried and I'm hiding in a hood :P. Go »Cocoa spills and Larry David
In a freak accident, I managed to splatter my husband's entire mug of cocoa all across the kitchen this morning, 1 minute before I had to leave for work. I apologized a bunch of times and kept asking if I should call in and tell them I'm going to be late so I could clean it up... but he said he'd try to clean it up. Go »Annoying
Darrell tells me that people actually care about *my* approval and they think I am rejecting them when in fact I am trying to keep away from them to protect them from my insanity. You guys are all awesome by the way... Wish I wasn't too insane to interact comfortably with anyone... Go »

My only guesses would be Larry and his brother Darryl... or an incomplete Red Green... ;-)
