(New York - AP, October 31, 2007) - The theme was "Wings of Desire," but costumes of every kind were on display at Greenwich Village's proudly outlandish Halloween parade.
Ensembles ranged from the usual devils and witches to the unusual - such as the man wearing a box of cereal punctured with plastic knives. Steven Rodriguez, 24, said he was a "serial" killer. Get it?
...
There were prison inmates, Catholic priests, even a box of Trojan condoms. Guises were simple (a Freddy Krueger mask), trendy (Idaho Sen. Larry Craig) and imaginative (the late poet Sylvia Plath's head in a kitchen oven).
...
The parade, started in 1973 as a neighborhood event for children, has grown to encompass thousands of marchers, floats and giant puppets, with huge crowds of onlookers and television coverage. An unusual admission policy allows anyone wearing a costume to march. All participants have to do is show up at the start line.

Update:
And, of course, the boneheads were out yesterday too. Heh ...
MIDDLE ISLAND, N.Y. (AP) — Perhaps it was meant to be a Halloween prank, but police say three teenagers weren't smart about choosing a target.
Police say the 17-year-old and two 15-year-olds peppered a marked police car with paintballs — and were promptly arrested on reckless endangerment and weapons charges.
...
Suffolk County police say the teens blasted the police car with several paintballs Wednesday evening in Middle Island, on Long Island. The driver's side window was hit at least twice.

Ha-ha! Idiots. Betcha the cop shit his pants ...
