I normally make something called a dump cake. Don’t jump to any conclusions, it’s just that you basically just dump the ingredients in one by one and then cook it. Easy peasy. Since this was for a Halloween party though, I thought I’d attempt to get creative. Here’s my half-improvised recipe (pic below):

Ingredients

  • Non stick cooking spray
  • 1 can crushed pinapple
  • 1 can cherry pie filling
  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix
  • 1/2 cup of almond slivers
  • 1 stick of butter
  • Milano cookies
  • Red Icing

Directions

  1. Coat the inside of a crock pot with the nonstick cooking spray
  2. Dump pineapple, cherry filling, and almond slivers in the crock pot
  3. Pour cake mix evenly over the top.
  4. Slice the stick of butter into very thin slices and evenly cover the cake mix
  5. Cover and cook on high for about 3 hours
  6. Take icing and write RIP (or other gravestone phrases) on Milano cookies
  7. Place cookies into the layer of cake

Here’s how mine turned out:

First, here’s my outfit. It takes a little of, shall we say, calculation….

+

= ?

I’m sure it won’t take much to figure it out. And now on to the rest. You’ll see a coworker on the left, and the real thing (using that term pretty loosely here) on the right.

Kicking things off was Beth taking full advantage of her pregnancy. I thought she did pretty well as a troll doll (even including the belly button jewel).

Veneta when with a classic witch costume, though she looks nicer than any witch has a right to be.

Agata felt like putting a sterner face on the occasion.

Ann went all out with the hippy (hippie? hippeee? hypie?) theme, but I had trouble finding good pics to compare it to. Everything I found was either a current day costume, or inappropriate. :S

This is probably my favorite one. Tiffany is complete with torn sweater and snack packs as she portrays Adam Sandler’s Billy Madison. Well played.

That pretty much wraps it up for Marketing. The only other male in the department is on his honeymoon, so I’m left to hold down the testosterone fort as King Arthur. Happy Halls, peeps.

first of all, yesterday we (me, eric elves, rebecca macdonald, sean brooks) had arranged to watch the incredibles with dr. chambers and pastor fred in the admin building. with some sly planning on the part of my colleagues, dr. chrisope was also invited. professor schulten was kind enough to join us as well.

when we were all there, about halfway through the movie sean paused it. i stated that there was going to be a “half-time” show. puzzled looks filled the room.

then rebecca pulled out twister.

for those of you who don’t know, dr. chrisope and dr. chambers have an ongoing twister competition in which they were currently tied, 1-1. well, yesterday was the tie-breaker. as the majorly surprised and slightly annoyed dr. chambers was preparing, macho dr. chrisope threw his shoes against the wall and strutted john wayne-style over to the map. “let’s get this over with,” dr. chambers said.

the match began with fairly easy moves, each contestant straining to show the other superior wit. finally, as the moves got harder, the strain was noticeable. dr. chrisope smirked, “you’re going to the floor, chambers.” “then i’m taking you with me,” was the automatic response of his adversary.

the last move, the final turn. dr. chrisope performed the move magnificantly, twisting his wiry body like a paper clip. it was time for dr. chambers to go. he began, shifting his weight, and then, in slow motion it seemed, he fell, trying desparately to position himself in an attempt to force dr. chrisope down with him.

while the dust settled, the spectators looked in amazement. somehow, dr. chrisope had escaped the clutching hands of dr. chambers and was still there, hands and feet in position on their colors, a grim smile on his face. the match was over.

IT WAS PROBABLY THE COOLEST THING EVER!

that is, until dr. chrisope made a stop in our greek class and did the MISS PIGGY CHOP onto an almost empty box of mountain dew cans. all in all, one of the greatest days ever. the only reason i include today is because i saw a pic of drew pinkley acting ghetto in a church van. i had a picture of it here but now it’s broken for some reason.
