STOP WITH THE SHITTY COSTUMES

It's that time again.  Halloween's right around the corner, and there are a number of ways to prep for it. If you're going to a Halloween party, you're probably trying to figure out what your costume is going to be.  Gals, you may be tempted to wear something slightly sluttier than you ordinarily would. You know what I'm talking about, the sexy nurse, sexy maid, that sorta shit. Trust me, it's been done. Don't be a tool. And you guys, as easy as it is, a flannel shirt and a cowboy hat does not constitute a costume. Why don't you just drink like a fish, and walk around like you've got a load in your pants.  If anyone asks, "Bukowski". This comes from a guy who hasn't dressed up for years, but even for a me, there's a few reasons to like Halloween.  It's the time of year that there's skull and crossbones chotchkies everywhere. Cool. Another thing is that, on the day after Halloween, bags of candy get marked down. Even if you don't want cavities on the cheap, Halloween presents an excellent opportunity to just dig on all of the thematic music that seems to pop up. And there's no better song to kick that off with than the Munsters theme. Personally, I dig the Billy Strange version, because the horns in it sound like a drunk mariachi band, but Los Straightjackets do a respectable version too.  Oh, and the video below is the never aired Munsters pilot, with a different Lily and Eddie, for those of you who don't have anything better to do than sit in front of a computer and watch a never aired pilot of The Munsters.
