Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you.

I did not win our costume contest at work today, but it was fine because I lost to a ninja! A wee female ninja, at that! (She's about 5' tall.) Here she poses with my collection of ninjas.
Wee Ninjas

It was great to see my co-workers get into the Halloween spirit. We had a Rainbow Brite, a pink pirate, a Rocky Balboa, a luchador, a bandito, a Waldo (a la Where's Waldo?) and a banana! The banana happens to sit behind me, so I found myself giggling every time I turned around and saw this:
Banana, hard at work

We told him to do the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" dance, but he was not familiar with it. When we showed him the link, I was able to capture his version of it on film.

I puffy heart my co-workers.

  9. not many people dressed up in my office. it was rather sad as the ones who did had no imagination whatsoever. i would have dressed up myself, but i don't think my nun costume would have gone over so well here. we have several people who are extremely religious and far-be-it for me to offend someone ... well, at work at least.

    great pictures. love the banana. i wouldn't have been able to work much that day.

  11. That dance is too funny! Last year our programming team dressed up together collectively. Most of them were gorillas and one came in as the banana and they were chasing him down all over the office!

  22. aw man, no cool costumes at my work yesterday. I think someone dressed up as a cat, but thats a given at every workplace. I still think you should've won for most original though..
