Without skipping a beat he let me know, “dinners ready” and closed the door. It’s amazing what parents can get used to.

My Knox gelatin experience was shaving my head, mixing it with glycerin and food coloring to make some kind of goopy zombie only to lose to a frat boy dressed as Angus from AC/DC (shorts and a blazer) at a local pub Halloween contest. The mix for some reason smelled like dirty socks which just rubbed in the humiliation. <br />Mike I remember the CGP days. I think Rot stills rocks the Nemesis.

That Halloween for the fun of it, we decided to dress up as pirates to hand out candy to go with our haunt theme. Not too far along into the evening, a parent coming up our walkway with their kids yells out something along the lines of "Look kids, it's Gary the Happy Pirate!", a now retired Rochester NY kids entertainment performer, in reference to my costume. I immediately went back into the house and changed back into standard attire. And from there on out I only wear my Eric Pigors ToxicToons t-shirts and hoodies on Halloween!Haunted Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15976113879844099321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-64170090469844481102021-11-15T20:51:29.332-05:002021-11-15T20:51:29.332-05:00Haha.
