I have no plans to dress up for Halloween, but if I do, I have the ultimate costume plan: cut a bunch of holes in a white bedsheet and go as my man Chuck Brown on Halloween.

eeee ... that makes me so happy! I love Charlie Brown! (I kind of have 27 Peanuts videos.) I think, next to "A Boy Named Charlie Brown," the Halloween one is my favorite. Yay!

Aw, sniff. That was beautiful. I have the last Sunday strip and a newspaper clipping about his death tucked away in the 50th anniversary Peanuts book I got for Christmas.

I had a guinea pig named Linus, so I'm with ya.

Oh, and when I was a teenager, I used to dance like the twins in the Christmas special ... and like the kid who held his hands out and kind of walked in place ... remember that? Charles Schultz was so great. :)

Yup! I've always wished I could make my hair fly straight up like Linus' did when he got surprised or scared. hehehehe... ;)

That is a fucking great idea! What a wonderful costume idea.

Thanks -- I think it's the only good one I've ever had. ;)

I could never figure out what was so hard about cutting two holes in a sheet. Maybe ol' Chuck was just terribly uncoordinated.

That, and it was probably hard to keep the holes he did manage to cut over his eyes, what with the sheet slipping off that big round head. :) I'd forgotten the "All I got was a rock" thing!!! LOL!!!

YES YES! that would be even better, wear a sheet with all the holes cut out AND carry around a bag with a big rock in it!

YES YES YES

Hell yeah, that's a plan! Oh, on the "akin to ass" tip... I was thinking about where I got that, and it actually comes from an old Peanuts strip about the Great Pumpkin. Linus is sitting in the middle of the pumpkin patch as the sun comes up on Nov. 1, realizing that the Great Pumpkin has passed him by once again. He says, "I feel somewhat akin to a fool." Just goes to show you how it's all tied in together, eh? (Or the way my mind is warped, or something.)

That's my favorite line from the Great Pumpkin.
