Hallowe’en 2012

The boys this year went trick-or-treating as an evil scientist (Robin) and a platypus secret agent (Davy), characters which may bear a suspicious resemblance to those from the TV show Phineas and Ferb. Here is Robin making his mad science face:

The device he’s holding is a ghost-inator. Originally it was a more generic raygun, but Robin decided that he wanted a weapon specifically targeted to ghosts. Maybe when he’s a little bit older we’ll let him know that there’s a whole movie about that.

Davy shed his hat and platypus beak shortly after leaving the house. His costume was never going to be particularly recognizable, except maybe to Phineas and Ferb fans, but without the props he was basically just a kid in a blue shirt. People gave him candy anyway. When they asked where his costume was, we said “he’s a platypus secret agent, and he’s working undercover.”

So, here’s the best joke I heard tonight from a neighborhood trick-or-treater: Three vampires walk into a bar. The bartender asks, “What’ll it be?” The first vampire says “blood”, the second vampire says “blood”, and the third says “plasma”. The bartender says, “Okay, two bloods and a blood lite.”
