A small price to pay for the best pre-Halloween party ever.

The day after, I hurt so bad from carrying that thing around on my shoulders for the better part of 4 hours. As luck would have it, I had to wake up early and drive for a boring, radio-free hour to go play an orchestra gig. (On an unrelated note, R. Strauss and Smetana both suck. Suck suck suck! If "Moldau" is supposed to be a musical description of the river then I imagine it is a dirty little mud puddle full of ugly frogs and crickets and Czech zombies eager to gnaw my fingers off, all the while chanting "duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh" until the Czech cows come home. Get it? "Czech cows"? Instead of "cash cows"? Yeah ... ok.)

It took me forever to get the table in this post to work. Turns out in Blogger you have to remove all the line breaks from your code, or else it will include those in the spacing of the table. So stupid.

(Update: Here's where I got my table code, for those who wish to know. Link 1 Link 2)

Fantastic costume. I would say it was worth the money/effort as well (especially since, when I first saw it I thought you had bought it somewhere).

In addition to the awesome costume, from this post, I learned how to HTML one type of table! Thanks. (Notice how I verbed HTML. Verbing words weirds language. If I were less mentally exhausted at this point, I might be able to recall the precise linguistic term for the process of verbing words.)

That was an awesome costume!! HAHAHA.
Very creative. And then when robots take over the earth, you'll fit in perfectly and won't have to be enslaved in a human zoo.
