    But you could always go as a "Zulu Warrior" instead, if you don't want to go the sexy-lady route.

    Well, I found my costume just in time!

    In case you were wondering, I'm going as a symbol of everything that's wrong with the world (racism, sexism, sizeism and classism all in one!).

    If only I could get the health care debate and some kicking puppies into it some how...

    Of course it's a man in the costume. I really don't expect to encounter anything like this Saturday, but time's running out and I need to condense my rage at idiots into 1-2 sentences so that if I see a sexy anorexic or a sexy 9-11 or an illegal alien I can shut them down without spending the rest of my night lecturing a dickhead.

    Any suggestions on what to say to a stranger dressed like a racist sexist jackass? I'm looking for pithy and debilitating here ladies. I know you can do it. #halloween

    @vamvaki_poulaki: I've found that any time a "Yo momma ... " response would work, a simple "Your dad." works even better. It's funnier to me. You have to get the sullen teenager voice juuuuuust right, though. Delivery is all. #halloween
