halloween costumes

Ah, Halloween. A time when children gan get candy from strangers, the dead can walk the earth for one night only, and lots and lots of girls dress like sluts.

We've all been there -- just a couple hours before you have to head out to a Halloween party, and you haven't had the time or money to put together a decent costume. Then suddenly, a flash of inspiration zaps you or one of your buddies -- but all too often, the final product is just sad at best, or lands you in the slammer.

While pets are usually ambivalent about the Halloween costumes their owners dress them in, Tangent the chihuahua seems pretty pleased with the added firepower of his spiffy tank get up. The tank, which took first prize at the local Petsmart’s Halloween contest, features a gun that lights up and makes shooting sounds when Tangent’s owner pulls a trigger on her side of the leash.
