The Best Cartoon Ever

I used to dress up in a costume every year for Halloween. I would try to make my own costume if possible. That all stopped one Halloween while I was in law school. I don't remember the exact year, but it was right in the midlle of the OJ Simpson Trial.

That Halloween I came up with my best costume ever.

A costume based on perhaps the Single Best Cartoon Ever

A costume that also involved my girlfriend (now wife) Cyndy.

A costume that ended up costing about $50 to construct, what with the lampshade, spray paint, and felt.

A costume that I entered into the MBA/Lawschool Haloween Party costume contest.

A costume that came in third place in that same costume contest.

A costume that got beaten by "Jamaican Bobsled Team", which was 2 or 3 guys walking around with dreadlock wigs on who were attached at the waist by a fake bobsled.

A costume that also got beat by 4 or 5 guys walking around in black robes with fake beards, "Judge Ito's".

    Bugs Bunny maybe, but what the hell are you supposed to be?

    Cass is the queen of hearts, obviously, but I can't figure out the chick on her right. Edie Brickell?

    I believe Jeff is Elmer Fudd, whose most famous line from the cartoon, What's Opera, Doc? was

    "Oh, Bwunehiwda, you're so wuvwee"--

    So Cyndy is Bwunehiwda

    He is Elmer playing Siegfried and is out to kill da wabbit with his spear and magic helmet--or lampshade or whatever.

    That's really creative. Good work there.

    That is why I was so disheartened when we lost to "Judge Ito's" and have never made a costume since.
