Getting ready to leave for

Getting ready to leave for the Halloween party. I'm going as Pugsley Addams (Jennifer is Wednesday) and I had a hard time with my costume. It sounds really simple: black shorts, black tube socks, black shoes and a black-and-white striped T-Shirt. I had all except for the last item. I've discovered that it's pretty much impossible to find anything with horizontal stripes for a guy. Sure, go to the women's section and you'll find gazillion things, but not for guys.

I eventually ended up buying a Ralph Lauren polo shirt at Ross. It had navy and white horizontal stripes, so it was as close as anything. So today we've spend over three hours trying to rip out the stupid tiny red logo that's embroidered on the chest. We got most of it out, but it still looks like my left boob has got a splash of blood on it or something. I also cut off the collar, so it kinda looks like a T-shirt.

Also, I've shaved off my facial hair (Homer didn't like that), but I think I'll be only recognized as Pugsley when I'm next to Jennifer, whose Wednesday is much more obvious.
