There is a fantastic Online Halloween Costume Contest going on right now. Unfortunately, I have sworn to myself that I would never, ever enter another Halloween Costume Contest for as long as I am alive. After I am dead, I might have an unfair advantage. Why did I get fed up with these contests? It’s a story of moderate length…

It was a dark and stormy night, We had finally finished the laborious preparations for the Halloween dance. When we arrived we were pleased to see that we had the most elaborate costumes in the place. We had spent days hand crafting our grotesque masks.

Like many small town Halloween dances, the band were designated to be the judges of the Halloween costumes. Like 99.9% of the contests that are judged by 24 year old male cover band members, the slut in the refrigerator box was given first place.

The Star Costumes contest taking place over at BrickFish.com is not being judged by 24 year old small town rock stars (to the best of my knowledge). I think imagination and originality could really triumph in this contest and the winner gets a trip to the 2007 VME event in New Orleans on Halloween.

A spider man costume may not be original, but if you have the right body, it makes a great impression on the ladies. If you have a body that is just very, very wrong for a spider man costume, well that’s just funny.
