Oh, look, it’s October 29 and you still haven’t thought about your Halloween costume! And Halloween is on a Saturday night this year, so that’s a lot of pressure! You’ve probably spent the last month telling everyone that you are going as [insanely conceptual and timely costume joke idea] to get a rise out of your friends without actually having to exert the effort of putting a memorable costume together. It’s okay, though! We got creative for you, and all these costumes will please the locals!
- Paul and Annabelle from TBS’s old school “Dinner and a Movie“: This is a cop-out costume since all you have to do is dress like it’s the year 1999 and wear oven mitts or something, but everyone will appreciate it. Bonus points if you worked for TBS back then and got one of these Dinner and a Movie aprons.
- Hologram preacher: Yeah, you thought when you watched Will.i.am on CNN’s election night coverage that this was the first time hologram technology had been used like that in real life? But you were wrong! This has been going on for years at a megachurch in Buckhead and Alpharetta!
- Berry College demon: It was exorcised, so where did it go? To a sloppy BYOB Halloween party in East Atlanta!

- TLC: Get crazysexycool with three of your favorite girlfriends! Just remember: don’t go chasing waterfalls.
- Angel Poventud: It works because everyone knows who he is!
- Flat screen TV wearing designer jeans: At your own risk! Who knows who you’ll end up going home with.
- City councilwoman Cleta Winslow: Someone I know has been threatening to go as Cleta Winslow for at least two Halloweens now, but I know this person never actually will, so you should go for it instead.
- Two-headed calf: The one at the Capitol. Or a two-headed snake. Take your pick.

- Designing Women: Celebrate its arrival on DVD this year by raiding the way back of your mom’s closet and go as Mary Jo, Charlene, Suzanne, Julia, and don’t forget Anthony!
- Lewis Grizzard: Your uncle will LOVE THIS COSTUME!!
- The Singing Peek Sisters: If you want to go as a girl group but no one wants to be T-Boz, then drop the TLC idea and go for public access television sensations Deaundra, Wanda, et al.
- A rat: This is versatile because you can wear a gold KING ROY necklace and please all your OTP friends who intend to for John Oxendine, or take the jewelry off and educate your ITP friends about Atlanta’s impending rat infestation.

- Other ideas that need no illustration: Baton Bob, white bike shorts man, Alexyss Tylor and her mom. Did we leave anything out?

First 30 rock s#$%s all over Georgia and now you tell me we have a major rat infestation? Worst week to live in this state ever.
I am going to go as a map of Georgia with a big frowny face drawn on it this year.
Happy Halloween.
I haven’t seen this 30 Rock yet but Twitter is AFLAME with indignation and rage. I can’t wait to be offended too!
Well, my plan had been to go a Kourtney Kardashian so that I could hide a camel puch filled with Pink Panty Pull Down in my pregnant belly, but now I’m thinking Alexyss Tyler may be the option. Now I just need to find someone to sit next to me all night bobbing their head and pretending to be the mom.
“White Bike Shorts Guy” really needs to be christened “Long Dick Walking Stick” because that’s the best name I have heard out there for him…. have you seen the youtube “documentary” series on him?
