I work at a community college. A lot of the staff that deals directly with the students (I don't) dress up and really get into the spirit.
The most unusual costume I saw so far was a woman dressed up as the swine flu. Pig snout, pig ears on a headband, white tights, long white t-shirt with two rows of baby bottle nipples glued on and plumped up underneath with fiber fill. Fluffy wings on her back (as in swine "flew", I guess).
I thought it was cute and would be pretty easy to do.

I am going to be one of those martians from Sesame Street (yip yip yip). I tested the costume out today and it worked well, though I will have to try out a barrier or two ahead of my cross races this weekend! I have only limited vision with the costume which is a challenge

Sumo Cycling! That is awesome.
I was dissapointed this year. I was the only one who dressed up for Halloween. But darn it I did it.

TriGirl: the legs were, uh, *fairly* free. But the entire costume race was a bit... slow. Cheating the course was encouraged and much obliged to get out of some of the technical sections.
I felt bad for the guys with those gigantic pink croc heads tho. Zero peripheral vision!
-- gnat! (Also: I threw on a rear fender.)

On another message board (not cycling related), a poster told of going to a Halloween party as Swine Floozie! Short skirt, low-cut blouse, outrageous blond Dolly Parton wig, etc and so on, and pig ears and snout.The most unusual costume I saw so far was a woman dressed up as the swine flu.
