HSAW AKNOW

It occurred to me that I may-or-may-not need to have a Halloween costume by Monday at 7pm, so I went ahead and started working on one.

Since I already have brown slacks and a white dress shirt, I chose Willy Wonka. Tomorrow, the hunt begins for a purple coat and brown top hat (and, according to my notes, a "Vest w/horrible purple flowers").

What's that, you say? I am missing something? The brown bow-tie, as can be seen below? They are extremely difficult to find, say, online.


Nope, got that covered! One hour + a brown pillowcase = Wonka Bowtie!

Now, anyone want to give me some lines to feed Justin when he notices that his pillowcase is missing?

The thought of gilda radner up in chocolate heaven is possibly the sweetest (pun intended) thing EVER.
