Yes I ran a poll to see what costume I should wear the other day, and I ignored the results.

In the end, wearing Hanes Underpants and going as corporate-schill/Bobcat Exec/Former NBA-great Michael Jordan was just more than I was ready to accomodate.  Yes, I would look sexy in a pair of tightie whites (I am the John Stockton/Jim Palmer of the Mascot world) having to buy a pair if Hanes would really just be supporting MJ on a night we were playing his team.  And then where does it end?  Would I be wearing Hanes, eating a Ball Park Frank, wearing Nike's, washing down a Big Mac with Gatorade bathed in Michael Jordan cologne?  Funny...maybe, but I think whether mocking or celerating him, this is what he really wants me to do.  Buy his stuff and end up smelling like french fries, high-top shoes and musk. 

So I took a stand.

I just walked away from the check-out stand (apologies to the people who do restocking) and started from scratch....deciding to go as Lance Dogstrong instead.  Anyone who can beat cancer, ride a bike with no-hands, and sell a billion yellow wristbands for charity is more my type of guy anyway.

Here are the photos from my quick tour of the costumes being worn last night at the Q (Flickr Set).

As for the game.   We are back on track....I would give the credit to the coaching staff and the return of Delonte....but that's hard to do knowing there were more than one Waldo in the crowd cheering them to victory.

...and one dog wearing really tight pants.

Halloween never seems all that special to me, since I dress up every day.  Some days in wine, others in gold...whatever strikes my fancy (and whatever is clean).  So when the schedule comes out with a game on Halloween I realize I might need to branch out and dress up as some other hobgoblin or Corporate Sales Executive.

We are now less than 48 hours from the game and I am still at a loss.  So weigh in and let me know.  Here are a few of my finalists.

Since it takes you precious little effort to vote, I will add the disclosure that the vote is non-binding. 

Right now I really want to go as MJ (we are playing the Bobcats)...so perhaps you can just grant me the permission I need.

Happy Halloween.
