Who is dressing up and going out this year? This will be the first year I celebrate it as an adult...
Halloween, what are you dressing up as?

In summary, the conversation is about Halloween plans and costume ideas. One person is excited about dressing up as a chemist with a gas mask and another is considering going naked as a robbery victim. They also mention parties happening at a nearby university and the fact that Halloween falls on a weekend this year.

I got me a genuine Soviet issued bio/chem gas mask with filter. I'm going to get me a white smock and spray paint either a radiological or biohazard warning on the back. I might Caution tape off my yard and if any hallo-wieners (IE, trick-or-treaters) come to my door, I'll yell at them to RUN! POISON GAS! heh :p

I have a couple of parties to go to but I don't know what to dress up as. I might turn up naked and say that I am dressed as a man who has just been robbed of everything.

Halloween falls on a weekend this year; I can't go to work dressed up. 
I was going to go as a Spanish Inquisitor.
