Jordan,

With the costume that you just described, I donÆt think anyone can promise not to laughà
However, I assure you the All-Day-Saturday Halloween Costume Trail-Run is 100% legit.



[edit]

OK, here's the (whole long) story:


Doug and I were talking one night - and the next thing I knew, the idea of having a costume party on Saturday night came up (although I honestly couldn't tell you who's idea it was originally).

A few days later, after we had both shopped it around to couple of different folks each - DOUG called me and suggested (very enthusiastically û Geezà practically with graphs and a set of charts supportingà) ôLetÆs have a Costume Party / Trail-Run, ALL-DAY Saturday!ö

Me:
ôHmmmmmmmàö

Doug:
ôàwe'll take our lunch and whatever with us, and stay out there All Dayà IN COSTUME! --- Lisa and I have already decided what weÆre going asàö

Me:
ôUhhààà and whatÆs that?ö

Doug:

Me:
ôSweeeeeeetö

Doug:
ôAnd how`bout you? û Any ideas?ö

Me:
ôWellà actually, yesà I was thinking about maybe going as [color:"green"][* top secret text deleted <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> ][/color]ö

Doug:
(laughing) ô____ yeah, Bubba!ö (still laughing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> )




And there you have ità
The birth of our mischievous little scheme û the one bent on putting fear into the hearts of all of our`wheeling friendsà by way of dressing-up all-day for some Halloween Trail-Run fun (whether anyone else joins-in or not! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> )



> A semi-related thought:
At least one of the proposed Free Raffle Prizes that was to be given away during dinner on Saturday night û due to our modest budget û will instead be awarded to the winner(s) of the Costume Contest.

It's too bad I canÆt tell everyone that the First Prize was something really cool, like maybe a winch or somethingà but that really would be a farce. --- Hey, who knows - maybe in another year, or five (or ten <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> )à



> Another semi-related thought:
(I know this one is sort of a æDuhÆ thing, butà) û during the raffle, if someone should happen to win one of the prizes that they themselves suppliedà itÆs a Do-Over. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />




Yep, it's for-real alright - even if only a few of us are gonna do it - we're honestly and truly having a Halloween Costume Trail-Run, all-day-long on Saturday (with lunch somewhere out on the trails).
