Grab Bag Friday: Crappiest Halloween Costume

Over at the San Francisco Chronicle's The Poop, they have been posting hilarious pictures of bizarre halloween costumes. This "crappiest halloween costume" cracked me up because I once went as an outhouse. Yes, my older sister was the house, and I was the outhouse. I thought it was really cool at the time & I got to carry toilet paper around. Sheesh. Other hits from The Poop: snack food costumes for infants, a car air-freshener, and...you *have* to see this...the disturbing (but tasty?) Martha Stewart line (apparently, this is real).

Other memorable costumes (all homemade) that came through our house:

• My sister wanted to be a box of Rice Crispies so we spent all day copying every piece of text from the actual cereal box (nutritional information, ingredients, and all) onto a giant cardboard box.

• My brother went as The Karate Kid and at one point as we were all piling in the car, he got kicked in the head and got a bloody nose. We thought it was the coolest...talk about an authentic costume!

• Or this one...apparently the year we chose to go really PC. You'll see my brother, the Indian, and my younger sisters, the Cowgirl and the Chinagirl (and yes, that is a lampshade on her head). And so of course, I offered to be the Statue of Liberty, leading them all to liberty and light. Good times, good times.
  

How about you? What is your most memorable Halloween costume? Post a comment below and let us know. I *love* these things.
