I think I’m completely confused about this whole Halloween thing. I thought it was supposed to be on October 31st? Someone please tell me I’m not crazy? If it is why am I hearing about people taking their kids trick or treating tonight and why oh why did some show up at my door? Did I sleep a whole day and not notice, it is Tuesday the 30th isn’t it? It doesn’t overly matter I guess considering I got all my trick and stunting out this past weekend in Red Deer. I’m sure most of Beaverlodge knows that already seeing as half the town showed up. Just in case you happened to miss it let me give you the run down…

The lovely duo of Mr. and Mrs. Peca hosted a Halloween gathering this past weekend in the highly saturated female waters of Red Deer, Alberta. Had I been somewhat sober I would have had a good idea of how many people were actually there but let’s go with an estimated ohhhh, 50 bodies. The party turned out to be a rather huge success, more so then I can say for the household after. The funk of alcohol saturating into the carpet made the next morning feel like I had just vomited through my nose most of the night, the good news is that while the place smelt worse than a dirty jock the amount of bottles left in the house should ultimately pay for the carpet cleaning rental. If not you two can borrow mine. Granted the smell could have just been the smell of Mr. Peca’s hockey equipment still sinking into my body after a hard night of rollerblading, I have to say I worked up a pretty good stink and added some pretty impressive scars from the spill I took outside, thankfully no one caught that on film.

While I showcased some utter drunken stupidity I know I wasn’t the only one out there to do such a thing…the pictures are a good indication of that. I won’t name names but the person who fell into the Apple Bobbing tub I think has a leg up on the competition for best fall. Earliest to pass out goes to a good friend of mine, I believe he fell asleep at 9 or 10, or was it 8 o’clock Stilly? At least that’s the story everyone has been saying…regardless if it’s true or not.

But of course what would Halloween be without the costumes. There were an abundance of them, some duplicates (dammit!) but all in all some pretty creative costumes and it was good to see everyone actually dress up. With that said here are my favorites:

Best Overall Costume: I know I may get some flak for this one but I have to give the nod to Mr. David Hauck as the Beaver. Whether he was planning on impersonating the world’s largest beaver I have no idea. Don’t get me wrong there were a lot of great costumes but this one made me laugh probably the most, especially the moment I seen the beaver busting a move on the dance floor.

Best Couples Costume: A lot of them and a lot of good ones to pick from but my vote goes to Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunn. You can’t beat two guys trying to be dumb…or dumber for that matter.

Best Group Costume: Either I was really drunk or forget but the only one I saw consisting of more than two people were none other than the Ghostbusters. They get my vote especially for the bottle of tequila…at least I think that’s what it was.

Best Shock Costume: Having not really an idea what it was at first I finally clued in when I seen the head piece on one. The twin towers of New York complete with a plane crashing into the side.

And last but not least

Worst Costume: HA, there wasn’t one. If someone hadn’t dressed up for the part then I would flame you.

All in all I’m sure all of us had a pretty spectacular time even though the majority of us were paying for it the following day with an aching hangover. I’d like to thank Peca and Becky for allowing that many people into their house, I don’t know if there are too many people who actually would be OK with the warzone that party created. And before I forget a special congratulations to the two who got engaged (John and Erin)…honestly I didn’t know what was happening. I was making fun of everyone for clapping at Stilly thinking he finally figured out how to snap a picture.

Thankfully it’s all over with and I can detox once more until I hit the pavement again on my birthday in December. And for those who have wished me numerous birthdays on Facebook, thank you! Start sending presents weekly now.

Happy Halloween
