"Meh," I said. "EVERYBODY's doing it! What's the fun?" I moved on. Until now.<br /><br />I finally decided to do the blog thing...partly because some of you have been complaining at me about the severe lack of West Coast Jeff episodes...But mostly it's because I need help with my Halloween costume. Again.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 396px; height: 269px;" src="http://home.2nd-source.com/uhjeff/wcjhalloweenpumpkinlogosmall.jpg" /><br /></div><br />Yes, that's right--it's time for the WCJ Annual Appeal. I've been so busy trying to stay alive and sane amongst the army of mental patients I currently work with, that I haven't had the time or energy to come up with a Halloween costume. Boo, indeed.<br /><br />But you can fix it with this simple three-step plan:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Step 1: You send me your ideas.<br /><br />Step 2: I steal one of them.<br /><br />Step 3: Everyone wins!*<br /><br /></div><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">*No one wins.</span> </span><br /><br />See?<br /><br />Last year, Goatee Greg took the top honors with his suggestion:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6429/1082/1600/Capn.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6429/1082/400/Capn.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6429/1082/1600/PICT0795.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6429/1082/400/PICT0795.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">West Coast Jeff as Quaker Oats' own Cap'n Crunch<br /></span></span></div><br />Not only was it a genius idea, it also helped spawn an entire Cereal-Related Halloween group adventure, part of your complete breakfast:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6429/1082/1600/Monsters.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6429/1082/400/Monsters.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Frankenberry, Booberry &amp; Count Chocula as portrayed by Adam &amp; The Bookbinders, Rachel &amp; Jon.</span></span><br /></div><br />For the record, there are a LOT more pictures of Bookie as Frankenberry. All you have to do is ask for them.<br /><br />Anyway, as you know, I get ridiculously excited over Halloween..
