I wanna go as OFFICE DRONE. Dark brown loafers, Khakis, powder blue shirt, shiny yellow patterned tie and a Starbucks mug.

wait.. that's a guy? i enjoy effeminate males as much as the next person, but there's a limit. btw, the gtalk dot made me lol quite hard. easy, too. you'd just need several different colored hats and a whiteboard to attach to your shirt. maybe bring along a boombox so people can hear/see what you're listening to.

Go as a hipster - wear skin tight pants, unnecessarily dorky glassed, and a cycling cap with the rim flipped up. Don't shave and don't shower for a few days for authenticity. Bring plenty of money for $6 PBR's!

Stealth, that's pretty funny, and I just made myself laugh picturing you doing that to, say, my grandma and then trying to explain Facebook to her. "No, see I'm Facebook... No, FACEbook.. you know, the website... on the internet... yes, the one on the computer... well, it's a social networking site and... social networking... well, that's where you meet up with your friends on the internet and chat with them... well, yeah, you can still chat in person, but... the poking thing?... well, on Facebook... FACEbook... you can poke people... well, there's no reason, it's just something you do... no you don't really poke them and nothing comes out of the computer to poke them but... no, it's not a bad thing and there's no sexual connotation...I said "sexual connotation"... "sexual"... SEXUAL!!!! .. oh, jesus, no, it's cool everybody I was just explaining Facebook to here and... woah look at the time"

The McMansion idea is pretty neat. But the Dow Jones one is cool too...you can actually burn calories with this costume.
