I Will Die Alone

I meant to talk about Halloween.

So, Halloween was another one of those nights when my friends told me:

1. I need to get the divorce off of my mind.

2. I need to have fun.

3. I need to go clubbing with them.

Unfortunately, some part of my brain was unable to accept only 66% of the proposition, and so I ended up at the local meat market of record’s Halloween party and was perhaps the only person dressed like a pirate that wasn’t also dressed like a slut.

Because my people know, respect and gracefully tolerate my geekhood, one of them points to a couple clad in superhero costumes, thinking that I’ll appreciate it.

Green Lantern, his hair and beard dyed bright green, accompanied by Poison Ivy.

My response, “That’s not even canonically accurate.”  And that’s where the title of this post comes from.
