One Halloween (a while ago), menyak and I were invited to one of those 'dress up if you want, but you don't have to' parties. Not wanting to go overboard, we hit the local used clothesery and each picked up a used Japanese jersey (apparently from college or semipro teams - if anyone knows who wore #30 for Sankyu, let me know...

) for a couple bucks, added caps, and headed out.
Naturally, the party turned out to be the most overboard event ever (I don't even want to think about how long it took that one guy to dress up as a highly convincing Christmas tree

), and we wound up being, er, slightly out of place. Being asked, "So, are you, like, supposed to be drunk guys?" by our host's daughter was absolutely classic... (Should've gotten those grass stains out first.)
Hmm... I guess this is turning into a completely off-topic you-had-to-be-there story. Don't mind me...
