So is anyone dressing up for Halloween?

I'm not going out, unfortunately, because I have to work, but I had what I thought was a pretty great idea for a costume:

Full on black suit, black tie, black pants, black shoes, black sunglasses, the ear piece to a hands-free cell phone set, a briefcase, and a pair of handcuffs. One cuff will be on the handle of the briefcase, the other on a fake severed hand I bought from Spencer's. I call it "Stole the Football."

It was either that, or I was going as Alex from "A Clockwork Orange."
"Stupid party. Should be trick-or-treating."

A friend of mine, however, has the end-all, be-all of movie reference costumes: Dr. Gonzo from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He even has the funky cigarette holder that Gonzo used when he smokes and, knowing this kid, probably has a significant cache of psychedelics to go with it (the merits of using LSD while everyone around you is in costume, however, is fodder for a new thread).
