I've got to respond to see if I'm in the loser fifth of the people that Abe doesn't respond to. I'm expecting that I am because I've got the bad attitude that is emblematic of the scum that our American school system destines for failure, but then on the other hand, I do have one or two original thoughts which makes me rare amongst the hither to mentioned throng to which Abe has already responded. All in all, I think "don't wear a fucking mask" is the best possible advice one can give for a Halloween costume. Up next, get as naked as you possibly can given how intoxicated you plan on being. It's reasonably parabolic so if you plan on getting wasted, being naked is probably not a good idea. Wow.
