I should think that it would depend upon the reason for her (him?) tossing it. Is it because she figures she'd never look as good in it as you did, or because you left a surprise behind for her?

Er, the first one...

OK! Since today is the day I think it's time to resurrect this thread.

What are you dressing as/are you dressed as/or were you dressed as for halloween?

Tonight after work I will be dressing up as a sort of vaudeville style hobo/tramp. I'll see if I can get a pic of it.

It's like $400, but I'm getting it next year.

Now that's one hell of a costume.
I had thought about trying Van Helsing before but I think that would be quite an endevour to pull off well.

Now that is quite possibly the coolest Halloween costume I have ever seen, as authentic as in the movies. Nazguls definitely have the "more-smiting-less-trickortreating' look about them.

Imagine walking down the road and seeing this:

I am dressing up just like a technician in the high tech industry, and going to work.

I'm going to dress up as Jesus or the US Constitution and go "scare" liberals since they seem to be "scared" of anything they don't believe in or agree with.

Psh, this is nothing. You should see how I get on valentine's day.

So you kill people, perhaps your ex's, on Valentine's day too?

Often, yes, though if they're nice to me, I might torture them first.

Yes. I first dressed up as a security guard and went to work. I then dressed up as a hobo and went out with my friend for drinks. He was dressed as a franciscan monk. I think I actually looked more like a refugee from Oliver Twist than a vaudeville style hobo. I did have a bamboo cane. I couldn't find my flask. Also I need very much to get a bowler or a derby because the hat I wore was a boxer cap which is what made me look more like I was from Oliver Twist, or a chimney sweep from Mary Poppins as the bartender guessed.

Didn't get any pics.

There was one year back in the 90s from which I can barely remember anything. There are just a few random images remaining...

...I see a bowling pin, Cool Whip, handcuffs, and a Richard Simmons workout video. :eek:

That would cause anyone to kill!

I was a pink fluffy bunny!
