    Re School - some perspective:

    My kid’s school had a semi-credible threat of violence the other day and has cops on site right now. They have bigger fish to fry than to have to worry about whether a kid has an inappropriate costume...

    IMO, let the kids focus on their work at school and go have fun after school instead of spending so much energy on costumes and such

    I gotta say that Halloween in Jr High was the best. I brought a skateboard and rode it through the halls to all my classes. One other kid dressed up as Paul Stanley with full face paint, huge boots, and a real solid body guitar. At lunch time he smashed the guitar to pieces on the cafeteria floor while the whole room cheered and hollered. The assistant principal hauled him away and we never saw him in school after that day. His parents sent him to treatment and then private school. Still one of the most EPIC jr high stunts ever..
    Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

    FFS, school is a fashion show on the regular anyways, unless you are in some uniformed institution. My little princess spends more time on wardrobe than breakfast since pre-school. Let the little ones have some fun, with a dose of parental guidance considering some reasonably current cultural mores. This shouldn't be that difficult.

    You say that, but look at the adults these days...

    Full disclosure: I have no children and my wife is a special ed administrator at a local high school.

    If it's offensive, one can always fall back to the pregnant nun.

    I'd like to toss that one over to spook for a ruling. Sounds like it could be a racist loophole.

    Where is he anyway?

    May have to send it to that guy who got triggered in the China thread in the meantime.

    Shh, don’t ruin Halloween.

    Call them “empowered” nurses.

    That’s one of the great things about this holiday, how it empowers so many women.

    offensive if you're wearing it.

    I don't give a crap about schools canceling Halloween but I wish my office would. Co-workers' grubby kids roaming the halls looking for more sugar to shove down their pieholes is really not my scene, and end of the month is shaping up busy so I probably won't be able to disappear for a couple of hours as I sometimes do.

    The one with the sister in law with the wilted plant?

    There's no way that plant didn't need some water and additional sunlight.

    I once was Ron Burgundy and met a very empowered Veronica Corningstone at a party once. Stayed in character all night and when I dropped her off at home in the morning told her “your welcome” in Ron’s voice as she exited the vehicle.

    Never heard from her again.

    The worst Halloween party costume idea I ever had was being Oscar the Grouch. Wearing a metal garbage can all night means you 1) can't sit down, and 2) have to be careful around electricity and peeing at the same time.

    I forgot about that poor plant.

    No, the guy who defended LeeeeBron's honor by calling everyone racists.

    That's another problem, I don't have the curves for it either. 32" waist, long legs and an ass you can bounce a quarter off of, so maybe I need to go slutty lawyer?

    Wait.
