Holy Crap! Halloween Week!

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Mon Jun 16, 2008 12:15 pm

I've got to try to put my costume back together, Halloween is my birthday.
Do you love everything about October 31st, from the costumes and pumpkins to the spooky movies and endless candy? Does your family go all-out each year, decorating your house, hosting Halloween parties, or trick-or-treating with your kids? Millionaire is looking for contestants who love Halloween and are willing to show off their best costumes while playing for 1 million dollars!

To be considered for Halloween Week you MUST either wear your Halloween costume to the audition or bring a photograph of yourself wearing a recent Halloween costume. Please note: Photographs will not be returned.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Will Monty Hall be there to help decide who gets chosen??

Do you still have to pass the audition test?

Mrs. SSS"s birthday is Halloween. That's good for three reasons:

1) It's easy to remember.

2) We go out every year so I don't have to spend a bunch of money on Trick or Treat candy (Mrs. SSS insists we leave one bag of stuff out for the kids who come by while we're gone).

3) Any place we go to is having a big party that night to make it easier to celebrate.

However, trying to convince her that a Hillary Clinton costume is a suitable birthday present is a bit tricky.

I also could give you photos with braces and casts and blood, if you think the pity factor would do you any good.

I got a confirmation of an audition slot for the Halloween audition on July 8th with a special Halloween Questionnaire.

How cool is that?

I have to be in the city for a meeting at 7:00PM.

I wouldn't mind an invite to stand on line with you.

I'm waiting for a response for my Halloween slot. This is so perfect. If they won't cast a goth on a freakin Halloween episode, I should just hang it up.

I will say that I am concerned that the outfit I am thinking of wearing will seriously make the metal detectors unhappy. :)

As soon as I get my audition confirmation, I'm going to take the day off work so I can do the full-on ensemble without having to find a phone booth or a Starbucks to do a quick change in. :)

Pea -- don't wait for an invite, just go! I've met tmitsss, and he's charming. Take pictures that you can share with the rest of us :D

That will be one rollicking audition!

suitguy and I have spent time waiting on line for him to audition.

He was one of my PaFs.

He opened his home to Sting and me on a drive down to Florida. He took very good card of us.

Mrs. suitguy just might say that just showing up showed no manners. She would say it sweetly and with a southern accent. She knows these things.

I want an invite, dammit!

OK, suitguy -- the ball's in your court.

Get that invite working, pronto!

I like the way you think. If I go I'm supposed to be on line at 5:45.

If you go and if you invite me, that would work perfectly.

I need to be down by Madison Square Garden at 7:00.
