You know what’s rare? When you inadvertently avoid making an ass of yourself.

I love Halloween like other people love Valentine’s Day. Or their Birthday. Or any day when people give you gifts and profess undying love.

I love Halloween because you get to wear costumes. Fake hair. Fake eyelashes. Fake glasses. Fake teeth. Sparkles, tulle, cowboy hats, crowns, hoop skirts, eye-patches, alien heads… whatever.

And I fully expected that when I grew up, Howard Keel would come for me.

Wow. This is totally fascinating… keep reading.
