So we decided to go as a concept. We started thinking of different Beatles songs, and Murray finally came up with the idea of going as Hello and Goodbye. To execute this idea, we figured that I would have to be Hello whichever way you looked at me, and Murray would have to be Goodbye whichever way you looked at him. So he wore a mask of the back of his head over his face, and I wore a mask of my face on the back of my head. We didn't win any prizes. (Which is okay because the prizes were all food I couldn't eat.)
(We didn't intend for my costume to be freaky, but it kindof ended up being just a little bit freaky. One of the party guests said he kept having the feeling that someone was looking at him, and when he looked up, he'd see my backwards head staring at him.)
Next year, I would really love to go as RGB and CMYK, but I'm afraid that while people we work with would (might) get it, those who we socialize with generally wouldn't. I still think we'll do it because it'll be a super idea. Except what would we dress baby as? I suppose we could always dress him in white with "FFFFFF" written across his shirt... (Cue laughter from the two of you who actually get that.)

ha! You do look a little freaky.
Can't wait to see your costumes next year. :)
Ha ha. HTML color code is awesome.
Father McKinnley, Elenor Rigby, and Maxwell with his little silver hammers.
I assume you've seen this shirt from Threadless, right, Cicada?
And you can count me among those who got the color hex code joke.
Well, I thought it was ffffffunny.
Oh man. I'm so lame. I got the "FFFFFF" reference. Not that you're lame. Just me.
Nice costumes, though. :)
So proud that I got the joke.
even if no one gets slightly jargony constumes, it's totally worth it. at least you'll know how awesome it is!
I'm also proud to have gotten the joke. :)
Your Halloween costumes are fantastic. Happy Halloween.
XD I was just laughing and laughing, so I guess I get it. Does that make me lame, too? :)
