Everyone seems to be feeling the crunch on the Halloween costume front. Here’s a rule that may help out:
Every costume is better with an adjective, don’t settle for a noun.
Example: why be a nurse, when you could be a ZOMBIE nurse? Why be a doctor if you could be a Hillbilly doctor? Some examples of appropriate words:
zombie
vampire
undead
hillbilly
insane
killer
Further examples?

Can I go as an undead hillbilly?
betsy – ohhhh yes! perhaps an undead hillbilly satan???
I was happy to see via Abe’s blog that he was considering being an XML document. Now that’s the SILS way.
