I don't dress up. No reason to. But, I do think I'll go stock upon Cadbury Scream egg. Love those sunsabitches!

I'll barricade myself in the house and spend the day under a blanket, watching halloween specials of my favorite shows and staying far away from fear mongering catholics going around on their holy crusade and the shit ton of horror movies I'll be scared of seeing the trailer for

Nah. I don't have kids, don't drink alcohol and don't care to waste $$$ on an outfit I'll wear once for a couple hours. About the most I'll do is bake some kind of pumpkin treats.

I used to dress up, but that was when I was with my lady. She was awesome at making costumes. I would come up with the idea and she would spend forever making them. My top three favorites-
1. Nightcrawler from X2, because I nailed it and played a metal show in it. My drummer was Colossus.
2. A Spider-Man tuxedo with my lady in a Venom dress. This one was the most fun to design. Each functional piece of the suit corresponded with Spidey's suit. The tie was red with the black spider on it, the vest was all red with the webing, and the jacket and pants were red and blue with webbing. The Venom dress was awesome. It was a strapless black dress with the big white Venom spider for the bra-cup-booby part. It was pretty sleek looking, and she had an amazing rack to boot.
3. We went as Sweeny Todd and Mrs. Lovett. Nothing special, but she nailed those costumes. Oh, and I made a couple of fake straight razors out of aluminum at work.
Edit: Holy shit, I forgot the coolest pieces to the Spidey tux. She made a Spidey top-hat and a webbing cane.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I haven't dressed for Halloween in years. I used to when we lived near an outdoor mall that people milled around in on Halloween. The costumes were fantastic. I remember six people dressed as six people in a hot tub, three people as a brilliantly ugly Lady Godiva on her horse (she wore a body suit with baby bottle nipples and a Brillo pad in the appropriate spots), a few walking penises, and so on.
My ex and I went once as the lady and the tiger and once as a wedding couple in which I was the groom and he was the bride.
These days I just bake pumpkin bread and hand out candy to kids.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I love Halloween - it's second only to Thanksgiving for me in terms of favorite holiday and the only reason Halloween isn't ranked #1 for me is because you don't get a turkey dinner at Halloween.
I love dressing up but I don't get to Halloween parties or anything and my coworkers are party-poopers in the dress-up-for-work area so I gave it up a couple years ago and now my only concession is that I'll wear a Jack Skellington shirt to work that day. Maybe I'll do Jack Skellington nails again this year:

Last time, I was torn between Lt. Ripley (Aliens) or Voodoo Queen. I went with Voodoo.
This year I'm thinking Roman soldier or William Wallace. I'm definitely leaning Braveheart.

I've always wanted to do the roman soldier thing, but with a whip and a stuffed cross bearing jeebus supported from a hook in front of me.
