I'm in a Girls Gone Wild--look for the guy with the pumpkin on his head

Back in my more interesting college days, as a sophomore (boy those were carefree), I decided to go down to Greenville for Halloween. It should be noted that NCSU has absolutely no reputation as a Halloween party school, so all the smart NC state people go to either UNC or ECU. I decided on Greenville as some of my friends were living there and I could crash there.

To make a long story short, a buddy of mine and I drove down to ECU and arrived at my friend's place around 8 on Halloween night. He wore a decidedly interesting costume—sort of a Hillbilly plumber thing. I, sadly, did not have a costume.

Using my brainpower/ drunken creativity, I snagged my friend Nancy's Jack-o-Lantern, and cut the bottom out of it, receiving many odd stares from assorted friends. Finally, when I had scraped the sides down to make the pumpkin lightweight and sheik, I plopped it on my head and-voila-I had a costume.

Thus dressed, with just pumpkin, jacket and jeans, we sallied forth into the night. My friend Nancy led the way for me as my visibility was severely hampered by my pumpkin head. My friend Nancy is a stone-cold fox and she was in a go-go outfit.

Well, after about a mile's walk, we get down to the main street of Greenville and immediately I feel a jolt in the back of my head. I turn around and there is a guy that is incredibly angry at me for wearing a pumpkin on my head. His friends pull me off, and I avoid that altercation.

We prowl up and down the street for about 2 hours, people stopping me constantly to ask me questions or to take pictures or videos. This was more great fun and we decided to go back and get seriously fucked up. So we come back to state, stories and all the next day.

Six months later, I'm outside at a party and this chick walks up to me and we start talking and Halloween happens to come up in the conversation. I tell her my costume and she flips out telling me how all of her friends took pictures with me and how they have videos.

I just think it's kinda cool that I have a presence in Greenville now even though its 80 miles away. Plus I'm on “Girls Gone Wild” in the background. Look for the guy with the pumpkin on his head.
