Boo!

I spent all my words at The Train of His Robe today, but if you decide not to trek over there I hereby present the best two Halloween costumes I've found on the web this year:

Comedian Patton Oswalt as the Spiderman villain Doctor Octopus, costume courtesy of Mythbuster Adam Savage--the story and photo are found here.

Tied for best costume is this kid from Sweet Juniper whose father MADE his entire costume as a voyageur, including the birchbark canoe and the (non-functioning) walnut musket. This dad obviously doesn't know that he is making all of us who draped a sheet over a kid and called it a costume look really, really bad. (The kid's mom knit his hat and beard, in case you were thinking she was being a slacker.)
