Big Foot’s party last night was a blast as always.\u00a0 Best costume of the night was definitely my buddy Frank, who is trying to get on the Hot Chicks with Douchebags<\/a> site.\u00a0 He dressed up in three shirts with popped collars, the outer one, of course, being pink.\u00a0 He also had spiked gelled hair, douchey sunglasses, and bandana around his head.\u00a0 He carried a backpack with him that had “Summer’s Eve” printed on it, so he was a douchebag carrying a douchebag.\u00a0 Well done!\u00a0 I didn’t do a very good job snapping pics last night… if anyone has a pic of Frank I can post, please send it to me.<\/p>\n

That site continues to provide hours and hours of entertainment for me as I make my way backward in time through the archives… late Wednesday night I was reading the November 2007 archives, when I came across this post explaining why Jeffy from the Family Circus is a douchebag<\/a>.\u00a0 Great stuff.<\/p>\n

I’ve wasted so much time reading the HCwDB site that I’ve come up with my own unit of measure for it.\u00a0 You may have heard of the erg<\/em>, a physics term that measures work.\u00a0 Specifically, one erg<\/em> is equal to the work done by the force of one dyne acting over a distance of one centimenter.\u00a0 Well, I think it’s time to invent a new unit of measure, the brittney<\/em>, which measures laziness.\u00a0 One brittney<\/em> equals the amount of laziness needed to sit on one’s ass for one hour and not work.\u00a0 I’d estimate that I exerted 3.23 brittneys<\/em> Wednesday night reading HCwDB.<\/p>\n

As for my own costume… meh.\u00a0 I’m definitely getting bored with the Saucer Girl costume, and tonight will surely be its swan song.\u00a0 I honestly wasn’t thrilled about bringing it back for a fourth year, but girls love it for some reason (at least some of them do), it doesn’t cost me anything since I already own it, and I make tips.\u00a0 Reminds me… let’s see how much tip money I made last night… $6.47, not bad for a night’s work.<\/p>\n

Still unsure what I’ll end up doing tonight.\u00a0 Having Halloween on a Friday is a total clusterf**k because everyone tries to do their parties the same night (except Big Foot, which was a smart move).\u00a0 I’m scheduled to work the 4:00 shift on the floor at the Saucer, so I’ll probably show up there about 4:35.\u00a0 It’s trolley tour night but I don’t know if I’m excited enough about it to go down there.\u00a0 My apartment building’s party starts at 8, and I definitely plan to make it to that one for a while.\u00a0 After that, completely undecided.\u00a0 One option is a large party about a mile south of where I live.\u00a0 Another option is a party about a mile to the east.\u00a0 Or I may just remain at my own building for the duration.\u00a0 I’ll know more people if I go south, but I suspect that the very important “hot girls in skimpy costumes” quotient will be higher at my own building’s party and the one to the east.\u00a0 After 8 I’m going to play it by ear and spontaneously decide where to go.<\/p>\n

More to come today – info on cheap beer and hot girls at RiverArtsFest tomorrow, and I have more photos of “Killer” the lost dog to post.\u00a0 I’ll wrap this up with a couple of questions:<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0 What would you call it if Big Foot bartender Meghan put on a Frankenstein mask for Halloween?<\/em><\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 A big improvement.<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0 What would you call it if Meghan dressed up as a mime for Halloween?<\/em><\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 An even bigger improvement.\u00a0 Mimes don’t talk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
