MEQUON, WI [ JG ] I don’t usually post twice in a row. This isn’t the Bis In Die* Scoff, after all.
[*Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or Socrates to 'splain that joke.]
But we were asked to wear “Vegas-Themed” costumes to work today, and nobody gets mine. I work with very bright people, as evidenced by the fact they hired me. But I’ve had to walk every one of them through the process to bring them to that “Ah ha!” moment where they get the joke.
You, my loyal reader, are the sort of person who can reason this out for yourself. I have the utmost faith in you. Without any prompting, hinting or cajoling from me, impress the world with your savvy by being the first to tell everybody what THIS Vegas-themed costume is supposed to be:
I considered being a giant fig cookie wearing a cowboy hat and reciting lines from “Hondo” but that’s a mighty esoteric representation of “Wayne Newton”. In retrospect, I’m elated that I didn’t go that route, since nobody’s even picking up on THIS costume.
Restore my faith in humanity, would’ja?

I’m kinda disappointed. I thought you would go naked, in roller skates, and call yourself a pull toy.
Oh well.
As for the theme…..”Ruffle up and deal”?
Royal Ruff?

Aw gee whiz, Gravelle – I don’t get it, either. Dog – gone.
But the Ruffles looked so good and I just happened to have some so I just added a pound trying to figure it out.

Try mousing over the photo.
Sheesh. If I were Abe Vigoda, the Ruffles would make me Fish & Chips.

There are movie stars in Vegas, too.
Maybe you’d like to see stars…

So—you wore the bag?
14 Gravelle // Nov 1, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Yes.
The rest of the year, I’m usually left holding it.
I dropped it once over the summer, but a buddy of mine helped me pick it back up.
It’s good to have a friend you can rely on when the chips are down…
