Some very clever play on word costumes. How refreshing to see some real thought go into the adult ones. I can imagine some stimulating conversations at a party.The one night stand was quite unexpected while raining cats and dogs a favorite with pet owners.And the baby's Deviled egg was absolutely cute.For a couple costume, the Nerds is the first in a candy, and yummy.

    I enjoyed your segment on today's show when your camera man guessed the name of assorted Halloween costumes. However I missed the name of the last costume which had a "Mr. Mouth" game hanging around a man's neck. What was the name of that costume?

      The costumes this morning were cute. We didn't get the last one. I believe it was a man with the hungry hungry hippo game hanging from his neck. What pun was that one?
