my youngest also is a Halloween baby, and it's got to be the best day of the year to have a birthday - a day of costumes, goodies and fun, there'll always be a party and since it's not a "real" holiday there's no overlapping gifts.

You were right on both accounts, they have something, but it's $60. Cuts to far into the booze budget!

I'm a Halloween baby. It's a pretty sweet birthday. There was always something going on. And now, I just get #####tered and hand out candy or drink beers while taking my daughter trick or treating... It's entertaining for me!

My son likes Halloween but really has a problem with costumes (have heard other parents with kids on the spectrum say this). Made for some tough Halloweens when he was younger since being the only kid without a costume was as bad as trying to wear one.

Now he's a bit older it's good because now we can have funny ideas without going full costume, after a bunch of ideas found on the Internet this was the one he decided to do. We made a t-shirt with this printed on it:



The other top ideas were an orange t-shirt with a big pi symbol on it (pumpkin pi), a shirt with a bunch of popcorn and candy wrappers stuck on it (movie theater floor), and a t-shirt (there's a theme here lol) with name tags all over it with different names on them which is an identity thief.

Also works as a good last minute costume idea.

My 2 minute office costume

1. Wear green shirt (purple works too for some versions)
2. Go here and print this on a colour printer (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....1ZaL53kqgL.png)

3. Done, you're a Mahjong tile

Apparently they sold out of them pretty quick!


Neat side story:

Back in 2012 I was in London and met the owners of that company, because they were in these bright and patterned suits and I wanted to know what was up (nice guys, too). We also of course had to ask if they knew of Don Cherry, which they did not.

Fast forward to now and I've seen their stuff on random people around Calgary, on SNL a couple times, in pictures of hockey players, and, as you would have it, on Don Cherry himself.

Spoiler!

Wow, some of these seem like they're from 2106
