It's both. See, that was a trick question! More on this later.
UPDATE: 10/31/2008
No one in our office dressed up this year at all. I think that's pretty funny and awesome. I think that all the people with spirit are on flex today. The rest of us suck. haha
So is it a fun holiday? I guess so. Candy's always good and the costumes are pretty amusing. Some guy came in here this morning - not from our office obviously - dressed as Slash from Gn'R, and I saw a Sarah Palin in the hallway.
I guarantee that if you go out to a party tonight, there will be lots and lots of girls dressed in lingerie. It's kind of a green light for some chicks to dress like skanks. I don't really get the fascination with wanting to look like a stripper or hooker, but it seems to be pretty popular for whatever reason.
And the thing is, it'd be funny if the chicks dressing like skanks were really prim and proper and frumpy on a regular basis, so the skank thing would actually be funny. But really, the chicks you see in lingerie are the ones who dress skanky anyway. It's just that they feel guilt-free and justified about it on that one day.
Still, it's all amusing nonetheless. It's even more amusing that our office has united in its lack of effort on this day. That's what I call teamwork!
