What you WON'T be for Halloween!Last edited Wed Oct 24, 2012, 09:29 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Unless you ordered early or already had one...yep, you guess it, Big Bird.
Our local news just ran a story about the scarcity of the costumes...companies are all sold out....no doubt they are selling on Ebay for inflated prices. Big Bird may not have turned out to be a serious campaign theme on the trail, but you can bet the public at large isn't forgetting! Edited to add there has NOT been a run on Mitt Romney masks. There are plenty of those in stock!

2. I'm going to be Big Bird

I got my costume at Party City in New York City. It was $65. It cost about the same as the other costumes. I'm also making a sign that says U is for Unemployment

the debate, but got busy and forgot.
Now I regret it, because trick-or-treating in Oregon is not tropical. It's good to go as something warm and fuzzy! |
