I love Halloween...

You know what would be the coolest Halloween costume? You go as Janet from the "Tam Lin" ballad--since the key action takes place on Halloween--and you dress in a bodice-y gown but you dress pregnant and go carrying a stuffed dummy that's this sewn-together combo of lion/dragon/python/man, and make a point of not putting the dummy down all evening.
