With the big day coming up, I thought it might be the ideal time to ask for suggestions and/or war stories.

I was thinking I could go as one of the corporate raiders from the short subject before "Meaning of Life" -- you know, the old guys of the Crimson Permanent Assurance. Gotta find one of those handheld rolling blotters and a receipt spike.

Arrgh.

We could start a thread for spammers to use, then never visit it.

I'm going as either one of the Monarch's henhman from the Venture brothers, or a dead guy in an austrailian outfit with a foam rubber stingray attacked to my chest.

>gasp<

Everyone will be "You asshole! Steve Irwin was awesome!" at which point I will explain that they're the assholes, there were TWO people killed by stingrays this year, and I'm the other guy!

Well, the rolling blotter isn't that hard to get : try your local art supply store or a very good stationer (If I've got the right idea, you're looking for fountain pen stuff - I use 'em).

Failing that (i.e. you're short said stores) you should be able to get 'em online.

I know J.Herbin makes one.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

Yeah, I was thinking it was yard sale stuff. Old days. I've never used a blotter with my fountain pens, just lots of caution.
