Hallowe'en's coming - and Georgie tries to figure out his Costume...
What a weekend that was. I thought it would never end. I’m highly glad it’s finally Monday.
Ya’ know what I just heard? I just heard that this year’s Honey Ball is gonna bee held at the exact same time as our Annual Hallowe’en Party.
Seriously now. How are we supposed to figure out how to make Formal Attire into Hallowe’en Costumes? I dunno who thought this one up, but they need to bee taken aside and spoken to. This plan is ridiculously unreasonable.
I think we all know that it’s always better when those two, separate Events are kept separate, even if it does save honey, and that’s mostly beecause I’m not sure how to turn the Appropriate Formal Wear I’ll bee wearing for the Honey Ball into an Seasonally Festive Hallowe’en Costume.
After I found out about all this, I went out to our local Hallowe’en Costume Specialty Boutique - Beezo’s - and asked the bee who works there if he had any ideas.
“Well,” he said. “The Big Thing this year are Protest Costumes.”
“Protest Costumes?” I asked. I’d never heard of those, and I said so.
“Indeed,” he said.
Then he suggested I try on what he called a “Monsanto Employee’s Retirement Party Costume”. He gave me this green stuff to rub all over, the told me to lie down and stick my legs in the air. So I did that.
“Oh sir, you look so realistic! It fits perfectly!”
Then he told me to just lie there and “get the feel of the Costume”, so I did that, also.
Yeah, well, it may have fit perfectly, but my legs starting tingling in a highly big way, and it itched. A lot. Also, I’m afraid it was just a too little realistic. I’m pretty sure it would scare the Larvae, and nobody wants that. Beesides, I don’t wanna spend the whole time at the Ball and Hallowe’en Party just laying around in a corner, not moving and feeling itchy and tingly. I don’t hafta tell you that it just wouldn’t bee a fun Costume, now would it?
Then the guy showed me the “Bee On Freeway Windshield” Costume, but that one was simply too graphic.
Again, I don’t wanna to scare the Larvae.
I suppose I could wear an Olive Drab Tuxedo, wear a red hat, hold a stick and go as “Bee Swimming in Nectartini”, but that seems a bit too informal, especially for the Ball.
I’d like to keep talking about this, but right now, I gotta take Kevin to his next appointment with Charlie, his Therapy Bee. (I saw that Kevin brought his Sack with him, so this must bee Personal Inventory Review Day). While he’s doing that, I’m gonna spend the time while I wait figuring this whole Costume Issue out. And I need to do that amazingly soon, beecause the Combination Honey Ball & Hive Hallowe’en Celebration is coming up in just 19 days.
Okay then.
I hope everybody has a spectacularly intriguing day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
