If it's completely ridiculous and delivered with deadpan seriousness, chances are I'm crying with laughter. The lines delivered by Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock (not to mention by Eric Stonestreet on Modern Family) really make me laugh out loud. As such, I love it when we can all let our guard down and get a little silly. Prior to having those pesky children to take care of Back in our newlywed days, manbug and I started a Halloween costume party that grew to become quite a shindig. As our guest list grew, we added themes that were wildly successful ... Nick at Nite was one of our all-time favorite themes. Friends all dressed as their favorite 70's tv shows - we had several Bradys, some Partridges, Sonny & Cher, Mork & Mindy, the Scooby Doo gang ... you get the idea. Manbug and I dressed as the Incredible Hulk and Wonder Woman ...
We threw our Monster Mash costume party every other year from 1997-2005, when we finally retired the whole thing. We decided that we were just too old for kegs and costumes in our garage and that it had really run its course - it was time to move on. With one small disclaimer clause. The theme. If there were ever a theme that was so incredible, so hilarious, so versatile, that we just couldn't resist ... then, and only then, would we bring back our gig ... for a once-and-final blowout. Behold ...
Can you even stand it?! How great is that theme?! 35 seasons of Saturday Night Live sure provides some hysterically funny characters to choose from throughout all those years ... from the coneheads and landsharks of the 70's all the way to current characters like the Target lady, MacGruber, and Gilly ... and of course everything in between. I'm hoping our friends bring their A-game to this one, I can't wait to see this party in action! Manbug and I are planning to dress as this dynamic duo ...
Yes, we're hosting as Arianna and Craig - the unofficial Spartan cheerleaders ... now we just need to learn a few cheers! We're expecting around 80 people or so to come hang out in our garage lair on Saturday night ... I'd love it if all of you could come, too - which leaves the big question ... what would you dress as?!

I want to come!!!!!! I love Arianna and Craig!!! I think I'd go as Pat. Or Mary Katherine Gallagher. I can't wait to see pictures!!
How FUN are you guys?! So wish I could come to your party! We are not hardly even allowed to say Halloween in our county (absolutely upsurd in my opinion!)
Since Kimberly said MKG...I will have to pick someone else! Maybe Canteen Boy...or remember the two middle aged ladies that had a (boring) cooking show! I hope you guys had a FANTASTIC party...and I hope we get to read about it!
(silent tears)
Ok first of all. . .you are too cute in that wonder woman costume!
I have been chuckling to myself all morning, in between my tirades at my children (that is another story), about the SNL party. The boys came home from school last week and said "the teachers did some sort of skit about two guys named Hans and Frans and how they were going to pump us up. We didn't get it. But the other teachers thought it was hilarious". I just told them they were about 20 years too young to find it funny!
Have a great day! Thanks for the laugh!
Buh-bye flight attendants--Julianna Margulies and David Spade.

oh.my.god...we are so coming! That theme is so great! Love the cheerleaders. I would pee my pants if you guys did some cheers. I don't know what we'd come as...maybe coneheads? But I do love The Church Lady and Roseanne Roseanna Danna too.
Oh, and Wonder Woman is a MAJOR inside joke here. You are adorable in that costume!!! Do you have white boots on? I have to show BSD your picture. I have to share the WW story with all of you someday. Oy!
Oh my goodness, this is going to be a blast, wish we could come for real, but I guess we will just have to settle for the photo version!!
What would we dress as....I have to ponder a bit more...
Can't wait to see pictures
Enjoy the day Sloan
We'd love to come as the cone heads!
I'm sure you had a blast! Pictures please!
Happy Halloween!
