Halloween @ work

***Edited, see below***

By popular request, I've got some pictures of some of my Halloween antics from this year. We have a costume contest and pumpkin decorating/carving contest at work. I managed to place first in both this year! Woo-hoo!

Here's the costume. Ten internet cookies to the first person who knows who I'm dressed as and leaves a comment.
Here's the winning pumpkin.

And a couple more I brought for the heck of it: Mr. Jack Skellington and a poor guy that got in trouble with the mob:
Thanks to Steph for helping me put it all together (especially the gloves!)

**EDIT**

My identity has been discovered! I was shooting for Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, director of Muppet Laboratories:

Ok, Beaker is a great guess (Beaker is Bunsen's unfortunate Lab Assistant). But I'm a stickler, so I have to award Martin his prize of a good pat on the back and ten tasty cookies:

My answer was Beaker as well. But he is not green. The pumpkins were great and I loved the hambuger one. We dressed up at work as well. We had a girl in a red shirt with a wrench around her neck. She was Miss Scarlet in the Library with a wrench. You are all so much more clever than me.

Bruce Banner?

Great guesses everyone! I guess the Muppets aren't as "mainstream" as I thought they were - everyone at work had a hard time catching the reference, but I guess they thought I looked funny enough to vote for.

Meemer: yes, green is tough. This one involved mixing cream makeup and some of Steph's craftwork acrylic yellow paint (!)

Shui: everything was regular burger parts, except the "bun." I had some leftover patties, cheese, lettuce, etc., so I slapped them on.

Marty: congratulations! Look at the post again to claim your prize :)
