Unique Halloween costumes?
In light of the joyous (for some) holiday approaching, what's the most creative costume you've seen/heard of/created? I recently heard a story of a guy who was originally not going to dress up.

Does anyone else hate poetry?
Not to intentionally bash an entire medium of art, but I find poetry obnoxious and ridiculously pretentious.
