2008 Halloween Costumes

As we approach Halloween this year, I venture to guess that the most popular costume for men will be the Joker and for women, it will be Sarah Palin.

Last year I was pretty sure that Dick in the Box would be the most popular, and I was correct. However, I was surprised by the number of "300" Spartan soldier costumes I saw.

My guesses are based on what I think people coming to Madison for Freakfest or otherwise will dress up as. By the way, I'm excited to see O.A.R. perform, though they probably won't start until 12:30 a.m., and I'll be wasted by then (starting at 11 a.m.).

Of course, we'll always see the old standbys, such as Maverick and Goose from "Top Gun."
