It’s that time again – the Debates are on tonight, and there’s nothing more fun than getting inebriated courtesy of our two candidates. I’ve found a few versions of these on the web, but think that the one below (created by taking the best of the ones I saw online) far surpasses the others. Thus, I present you with:

Regarding your halloween costume…How about a bag of groceries? Easily done by getting a roll of brown paper for mailing packages, and two pieces of card board, creating the bag. Draw a pig on the front with the words “Piggly Wiggly” . Use duck tape secured to the insides of bag for shoulder straps, and fasten (with staples or tape) empty food boxes from your cabinets, egg cartons, etc.
A long receipt can be used to hide the seam on the back of the costume. Dress in brown or khakis, and voila!
A few other ideas that are simple are: Smurfette, Jem, and a a BOO BEE.
Just dress as a bee with a sign that says “BOO”
