A Hot Dog? Maybe a Spider? Or a Centipede?

I am not really a fan of Halloween.  This "holiday" was really a big deal in my home town when I was growing up.  They would close off the street in downtown and have a bit of a parade... but I always felt like Halloween was just an excuse for drunk college students to put on masks and have permission to act like idiots.  It always seems scary to me (I guess that is kinda the point...) but a holiday that allowed people to hide behind a mask and exercise their desire to act like a dip sh*t did not go over well with me growing up. 

Now as an adult, I don't really mind Halloween as much.  I have even dressed up a few times, but I still don't enjoy the idea of going "out on the town" here in NYC where people can act like royal dip sh*t's.  It is fun though, to watch the kids.  Although trick - or - treating is VERY different here in New York.  In Manhattan, kids don't really walk from house to house, since, well, there are no real houses.  If a child happens to live in a really nice high rise building, they can sometimes walk from apartment to apartment asking for candy, and some buildings even host parties.  But for the kids who do not live in those lovely buildings, kids seem to walk from business to business and ask for candy.... and I gotta tell you, it is odd to witness. 

When we lived in Brooklyn, it resembled a bit more like my childhood trick or treating, but it still was a bit odd to me.

Anyway... the husband has told me that Noodles is not allowed to have a costume for Halloween, but then it just occurred to me that HE WILL BE OUT OF TOWN on Halloween, so he can suck it!  hahahahah! So, what should Noodles BE on Halloween?
