: If I were a guy I'd definitely dress like Indy! When I have enough money to buy a car, I'm going to get a jeep and have it painted like the vehicles in Jurassic Park. One of the greatest things about being a kid is something called "playing" and the other is "pretending". I'm a total kid at heart. Life is too desperately short to spend it being all serious and grown up. Maybe Halloween is such a favourite holiday among grownups because we all love getting dressed up as something/someone else -- but why should we have one appointed day when grownups are allowed to have fun? My boyfriend is dying to dress up as Obi Wan Kenobi and stride around NJ. I say go for it! I wouldn't be embarrassed. He dresses up like Indy all the time and I think he looks adorable. So please, PLEASE don't just hang your hats and jackets on the wall for decoration. WEAR THEM! I'd LOVE to run into one of you on the street dressed as Indy. You'd get a big smile from me. And the people who think you're strange are people who have no imagination and are boring and take themselves too seriously. As Peter Pan says, NEVER GROW UP!

I totally agree with you marion!!! As a matter of fact, just
yesterday I had to go to the hospital to visit my grandpa, and I
wore my M.B.A. Indy pants, my Wested, and my Aldens. I was DYING
to wear my new Herbert Johnson fedora, but my grandma kept insisting
that it would be out of place in a hospital. Maybe next time...
But I do agree with you. I'm also a kid at heart. I draw my own comics,
the one I invented in 8th grade, I like to play computer games, and
I collect the occasional Star Wars toy. Being a kid DOES keep you
young- at heart and physically. I look a lot younger than 20 (though
that's actually how old I am!) :) Long live Indiana Jones!!!

Yours truly,

Dale Dassel
