Halloween 2009: Jon & Kate Plus 8

Song Lyric of the Day

So turn it up and break it down / Come on bring that beatbox back / Tell me do you feel it? / So turn it up and break it down / Come on bring that beatbox back

The Sounds / "Beatbox"

Rich and I don't watch any reality TV. At all. Well, I watch ABC World News Tonight and CBS' 48 Hours Mystery, but that's not that kind of reality TV. And we once changed the channel to try and see what all the fuss was about Survivor; it was on a commercial break, so we watched the Subaru Outback ad airing at that precise moment, called it a win, and changed the TV back to a good old fictional show. Regardless of our aversion to reality TV, we both know all about about Jon and Kate and their eight. Hell, I think at least 85% of the free world knows about them at this point. But I digress. Long story short, it was really easy to talk the spouse into going as them for our friend's Halloween party this past Saturday night. (All photos taken by Rich.)



And let me just say -- I've never felt dirty buying a piece of clothing before. But that's exactly how I felt buying that hideous Ed Hardy shirt at TJ Maxx. Although I'm pretty sure I didn't feel nearly as dirty as Rich did wearing it. But I have to say, he did an admirable job being douchetastic the other night, asking all the women at the party if they wanted to "babysit" for him. Talk about getting into character. My boy did me proud.

*Yes, they actually make a Kate Gosselin wig.
