What's Your Halloween Costume? 42
Mr. Penguin asks: "I'm wondering what other Slashdot fans are wearing today for Halloween. I didn't do the tech geek thing, but I did go all out. I'm sitting at my desk right now wearing chain mail, a leather brigadine, a beautiful leather cloak, and English riding boots. Girded at my side is my longsword, and after work, I think I'll head down to the tavern and drink some ale in my leather mug. What do you have on?"

Geeks in the Valley seem fairly appreciative, but they keep telling me that my resume will be put "on file" and that they'll "get back to me" and I shouldn't call them.

I sure will be bowing before you do, because, frankly, when it's time for you to bow I hope to be out of the room!

Man, does this sound like somebody hoping to get phone-sex like satisfaction? Sorry pal...you ain't getting that from a bunch of geeks...
Jedi Knight (Score:2)
I'm currently dressed as a Jedi Knight. I have the shirt, vest, belt, robe, light saber, etc. One advantage of being a Jedi is that they're expected to have all kinds of techno-doodads on their utility belts, which provides a convenient excuse for including things like cellphones and pagers in a costume. Just try that with your medaeval outfit.

The only thing I ever saw on a Jedi's belt (which doesn't look like any kind of "utility belt" to me, more like a strip of burlap) is a lightsaber.
Not to say that they don't have cool shit with them, but I've never seen one with a utility belt. Maybe that happens in the books. I'm not into the books.

If you're anything like the rest of us grad students, your new look is much worse than last year. I used to think I was poor when I was paying my way through undergrad. Now, I'm getting paid to go to school and I find myself without a dime. $1400 a month sounds like a lot for a stipend; but it really doesn't go very far in the end.
I actually used to wear button-up shirts and khakis/dockers every day for class as an undergrad. Now, I wear a Hanes T-shirt (6 in a pack for a few bucks), old worn out jeans, and a tattered hat. I just can't afford to go out and buy those $20 shirts anymore. Most grad students I know do similar things--it's our way of saying "we're hungry, feed us more please" instead of going on strike or something.

it was more of a pit at the time.
