Be Really Scary This Halloween

Written by Tim Hall

This Halloween, don't dress up as a corny old witch or demon, do something really scary. Dress up as a Diebold Voting Machine!

Give Democrats in your neighborhood the chills with this adorable re-creation of a computerized, touch-screen voting machine! Just like the real ones, our voting machine costume leaves no paper trail and comes with easily hackable-but totally adorable-software!

To make this costume, visit your neighborhood moving and storage facility and purchase a dish barrel. Cut the box down with a utility knife to fit your child-don't forget holes for head and arms-then add a coat of flat black paint. While the paint dries, use PageMaker to print the black-on-white touch-screen display, which can then be affixed to the dried box with spray adhesive. Add tights, an old computer keyboard, and you're set!

I would advise the easily-offended not to click on the link. Some of the later entries are in extremely bad taste (and I'm not exaggerating). Some of the others are still very funny.
