Hey Active Rainers,

Get ready to lose, that is right, I am talking smack! There is no way I will lose this competition.

Active Rain Staff: I also would like to make a motion that one single person can earn more than 300 points meaning that one person can win First Place and Second Place or Third Place, can we allow this?

I take halloween seriously every year and I go all out. The costumes that I wear are always controversial and absolutely humerous. I enjoy being the talk of the party. Please let me know if we can win more than one price. I usually attend 5-8 halloween parties a year so I will have a ton of pics and different costumes to share with you guys.

**** WHO WON THE Tshirt DESIGN CONTEST????? hello? does anyone know? am I the only person out of the 8,000 members that doesnt know or cares?

Mummified Oh my gosh, I got so cut up at what I thought WAS the party...I guess it was just a precurser to a new party...this virtual parties are exhausting but fun! So, many secrets come out and those tight costumes...WOW!

I just hope I'm for it by then...I'll use some neosporin on all my cuts and try to heal quickly for next rendezvous!

Not sure where I'm suppose to virtually go...here, there, where? And what is being served? I know the entertainment will be raining fantastic with the rain gods and all of the acid rain around the raining rain... and of course the copyrighted rain drips!

I told you - I'm a MUMMER. See above link or search on Philadephia Mummers.

YES.........they are 'dresses'....but no, it's not the Gay/Lesbian parade...not that there is anything wrong with that.

HUGE parade in Philly....almost all guys (by law we HAD to let women in...geeze.)....start drinking at 5:00am.......end in a urine filled gutter ....if the vomit filled gutter was already taken.........at about 1:00am the next day.

It's on New Years Day.....COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD.

Hey , it's the only day each year you can spill a beer in public and the cops just laugh (assuming you missed their shoes).

This is the new me in my costume of sorts. Saw TLW's surgeon and had a miraculous recover. I'm ready and willing to face the rain gods for my entry. I've spent a ton and I can now hold my head up high...don't I look fantastic?

Plan on doing some actual work today and will just leave my costume on in case I get the chance to pop back on. Save some of the refreshments for me...I'm not touching that chocolate, anymore! It did some major damage yesterday.

Ok, I'm too old and spooky to do Halloween anymore, but this one is from 1985...... My mother being an excellent seamstress crafted this habit for me. This was the year that the Kansas City Royals won the World Series... and they were selling t-shirts on the corners... I went down to the closest place to buy one for my daughter and upon getting out of the car the gentleman selling them said, "Can I help you Sister?" (I thought this must really look authentic) so I said, "Yes my son, I'm needing to buy a t-shirt for a wee little lass."

Party House I am appalled at the mess you guys all left over at Charles' while Jacqlyn was gone...He is so upset about the condition of the house. In fact, after working all day in my lovely new costume that I spent forever sewing since I needed more room after the surgery...you know

I stopped by to say hi and all of you were gone and left this mess...what the heck! After Charles was nice and invited all of us...the least you could have done was to help pick up, a little. We couldn't even make way to the little girl's room so I was forced to use charles Restroom the new one that Charles is building outside...wasn't even finished and you guys made a mess out of that, too! What were thinking! And I saw were Kraus came back again ... someone needs to tell him!!! Have you noticed how everyone sees them but no one ever says anything to the poor guy...

I can only assume that all of you are now sleeping it off so hopefully, in the morning you'll go over to Charles' place and clean up that mess.

Just my thoughts.....
