Dr. Thorpenstein: Loooooong night at the costume company pitch meeting.

Dr. Thorpenstein: "Cherry pie? Does anyone really say that, or was it just that shitty song? Is anyone gonna get it?" "Nah, just have the model make a really lascivious face and people will get it from the context."

Zackula: People still get that a sheet is a ghost costume and ghosts went extinct like 70 years ago.

Dr. Thorpenstein: I honestly thing this is the last possible idea for a mass-produced costume. Until they make up some new slang or something, this is it. This is all of them.

Zackula: Maybe it could be topped by a really big t-shirt and then a guy could be dressed as a t-shirt. The whole costume would just be a white t-shirt maybe one size too big.

Zackula: "I'm a t-shirt."

Zackula: Nah, that's still better.

Dr. Thorpenstein: I mean, we're essentially looking at a costume that is just a shirt. The only thing beyond that is the ribbon, and that's more of a little embellishment that drives the point home. The costume would work just as well without it.

Zackula: This isn't so much a costume as a shirt idea for Cafepress that would sell maybe six shirts and all to middle-aged Warrant fans who wear them when they're draining the oil out of their old Camaro.

Dr. Thorpenstein: I think we should just simplify this down a few levels, take off the ribbon and just have his shirt say "GUY WHO EATS PUSSY COSTUME" and have a picture of a guy eating pussy. Kind of like how Spiderman costumes for kids say "Spiderman" and have a picture of Spiderman.

Zackula: I would be down with that costume as long as it came with a mask that was just a tight, clear plastic bag they put over their head.

Dr. Thorpenstein: When you're dealing with people stupid enough to appreciate this costume, layers of wry humor just get in the way of the punchline. Just let them laugh until the wearer suffocates on his bag, and by then they'll be too drunk to perform CPR and everyone wins.

Zackula: And that's when the guy in the cherry pie eater costume realizes that the tail of Hale-Bopp isn't concealing an alien spaceship.
