Happy Halloween

Like New Orleans needs a reason to play dress-up.

So far this morning we have had:

• managing editor Kandace Graves as a particularly convincing Amy Winehouse ("Oh, you have coke residue under your nose! How cute!" squealed a coworker)

• a graphics department with a great Sweeney Todd Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York and an even better Morgus

• A&E editor Will Coviello as an excellent caveman ("I made the pants myself")

• a "Ghouls Gone Wild" Bourbon Street corpse

In the TOTALLY CHEESED OUT ON THE CONCEPT DEPT., we have senior writer David Winkler-Schmit in street clothes trying to pass himself off as The Undecided Voter. Boooooo.

But the award for completeness goes to one Gambit staffer who is wandering the halls as unwed teenage mom Juno. "And it's real," she announced, patting her stomach. Using Halloween to make your pregnancy announcement -- now that's commitment.

Pictures later. What are you doing for Halloween?

This is only the beginning of today's get-up.

Fantastic, Maitri! If that's the beginning, let us know as it proceeds. I'm hoping for an exorcism involving a machine gun.

My son is an airline pilot this year. I think I will be going as the shark attack victim laying the blame at his inexperienced piloting skills over oceans...

Really? You don't want to be Karen Black? "THE STEWARDESS IS FLYING THE PLANE!"

Well, now that you put it THAT way, perhaps I can be the Snakes on a Plane...
