It's Halloween! What are you gonna be?

There you are, standing at the mirror in the D.I., looking for anything that will go with the lemon-yellow hounds-tooth jacket you're holding in your hands. It's a beaut, and it's only 3 bucks. You'll also need to have your significant other sew in an "extension" in the back, seeing as it's a small and you've been visiting the big boys table for way to long to think you can shimmy into this with out you-tube being involved. So you wander around the store for 30 more minutes, trying to convince yourself that a) you can loose the weight by tomorrow night's party, or b) the fabric's pretty durable, you're sure it'll stretch.

We all know how this ends. It doesn't ever fit. If I've learned anything about Halloween shopping at the D.I., it's this cold, hard fact: Do your Halloween shopping in July!

Needless to say, I'm not going to be wearing a costume this year. Perhaps I will sport the faux-hawk again, but who knows... Anyway, due to some other events that we have planned for Halloween day, I can't get into any costume until that night, so I'll probably go as an overweight father of 4. I already have all the costumes for that. So while I'm not going to be anything this year, I was thinking that if I COULD be something, what would it be?

So here it is, a list of costume Ideas that I'd like to try or see somebody pull off. I doubt these are ground breaking ideas, it's a big world out there, so I'm not guaranteeing that you won't see these around. But if you do, snap a pic, I'd like to see them...

So on to the list!

#1 - Brock Sampson



I've seen this one attempted, but honestly, nobody has pulled it off yet. The notorious Swedish Body guard is apparently quite a tall task for those eager, yet ultimately unimpressive attempts that I have seen thus far.

#2 - The main dude from Dead Space



I know I should know his name, our company DID make the game, but you'll have to forgive me, I was blinded by the awesomeness of his suit...

#3 - The Heavy



I've seen this one a lot as well, but again, like Mr. Sampson, it hasn't been pulled off to the level of awesomeness that it requires. Perhaps, if you happen to have a large comrade from Eastern Europe, you are required to have him dress up as the heavy this Halloween. It's the law.

Well, there are more out there, I know you all want to see anyone in the Princess Lea slave bikini/outfit, but you'll have to dig that one up for your own self.

If you have a good costume idea or see one, let's post it up here so we can all get a good look.

Happy Halloween!

Chip Dip of DOOM!!!!!

Shadowwire has requested the recipe for the Sausage chip dip my wife made for us at the Rockband-a-looza we had at his house on my last visit down, so here it is.

For those of us who tasted the goodness, enjoy again, and for everyone else, you need to try it. Seriously. It's good.

The Ingredients.

--8 oz block of cream cheese
--1 can tomatoes and green chiles (aka Rotel), drained
--1 lb breakfast sausage, browned and drained

The Directions.

Brown the sausage on the stove, and drain on paper towels.

Unwrap the cream cheese, and put it into your crockpot. Chop up the sausage and add on top. Drain the Rotel, and add it.

Cover and cook on low for about 90 minutes, or on high for 45. Stir well and eat with tortilla chips.

Ok this is totally late for my weekend art but I haven't participated in any MOAG blogging whatsoever for a long time so I just decided to throw out this totally awesome piece I did. . .

. . . OK ok, its not so awesome but it is pretty funny. I've been working on a funny little comic and this guy was just a practice that I did for it but you know he definately fits the MOAG-addict profile.. . . Well I hope you like him, And may all you Moagers rock on!!!!

The Long and Winding Road...

Sooo... I'll be in the sleepy little burg of Cedar City Saturday. And to make things even better, I've been given the green light from the Mrs. to hang out and what not Saturday evening. So I implore all of you MOAGers out there to get something together and lets... well... DO something. Rockband to the wee hours of the morning? I'm in. MOAG? I'm in as well, altough probably in a more sarcastic, snarky manner.

Anyway, let's get this going. Shadowwire, you have my personal communication device frequency, use it.

THIS JUST IN: It's still not finished yet...

Okay, here's the updated version. Almost done. Really having a lot of fun with this one. Anyway, we'll be down next weekend, but not for very long. Maybe we'll have to get together saturday night for some shenanigans or something. Anyway, gotta go.
