NOTE FROM DAVE:

If you’re still looking for a costume idea, here
are some suggestions you should probably avoid.

The Top 7 Rejected
SF Halloween Costumes

7> Jabba the Hutt’s codpiece.

6> Ensign Gecko: He just saved a bunch of money on his car insurance!

5> Strap on a pair of 10-foot-high stilts and go as William Shatner’s ego.

4> Zaphod Beeblebrox, since you have to split all your candy with the second head.

3> “I’m Sam Beckett when he leaped into a 36-year-old computer programmer who still lives in his mother’s basement.”

2> Dress the way you normally do and explain that you’re wearing an Open Source costume.

and the Number 1 Rejected SF Halloween Costume…

1> A Horta. Having to carve “Trick or Treat” into everyone’s porch is the pits!
