HIM AGAIN...

He turned up in this costume two years ago... He turned up in this costume again last year... You can check back on the website & see. Now he has turned up again & though he's a decent zombie, he is presenting exactly (& we mean exactly) the same costume, look, eyes & pose, as his last two outings. He's made a critical Halloween error here, in that he has confused our Halloween Costume Competition, with a popular Warner Bros. cartoon, involving a Coyote... In that cartoon, as in life, the Coyote faces many challenges. His goal is to catch the Roadrunner & armed by his chums at 'Acme', he gets all kinds of contraptions sent & sets about achieving it. His mistake is, he never tries anything twice... That time when he had the Rocket Powered Roller-Skates & he so nearly had the Roadrunner! What he should have done is, waited until the sketch was over, pushed the massive big piece of cliff off his head, blown away the remains of the puff of smoke & put his roller skates back on... By sticking with the roller skates & with practice, he would've eventually achieved his goal. The dude chopped & changed too much. This evening's competition however, is not a cartoon... This is actual real life. Three strikes & you're out. You Sir, are the first person in the history of this competition to be formally disqualified from receiving any votes. Shame on you & your progeny. You're just going to have to learn to live with it. No one is saying that you are a bad man, but you are a man who came with a bad plan... Learn the lessons of your cartoon chum & apply that formula when necessary throughout your life. In many situations it will serve you well. Alongside this always make time for spontaneity & certainly always when appearing in this, the most hallowed arena of high-octane competitive spookery. A sacred place, where originality is our (blood-soaked) bread & butter. That'll do for now. The pan has boiled, now bend over...
