Advice Urgently Needed
 
I know this is going to sound like an open invitation for abuse and general insult, but it's a serious question and I hope you'll save the clever and humorous banter for later, after the problem is solved.

I am suddenly called upon to don a costume and stand in the doorway of a store handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. Of course, the ref stuff comes immediately to mind, but I'm wondering if there would be any little additions that might make it a little more costume-y or funny? I don't have time to do anything that involves much time or money. I've got a bright pink whistle, anytning I could add to that? suggestions?

Juulie - put on a straight jacket and wear a propeller beanie and go as ABC. :rolleyes:

Hope to see you at the meeting Sunday. If you can't come, that's OK. I can send you everything we discuss.

Very, very funny.

I'm actually not in that particular video. When it was my study group's turn for the "Dancing in the Woods" seminar, it was raining. We still danced, but the rain spoiled the camera. Our group wasn't nearly as good as the ones you saw.

Well, I saw a couple of players who recognized me, and one coach, who didn't think I was even remotely funny. Perhaps he'd laughed himself out the last time I did one of his games.

So what did you do, Juulie?
