I, too, have reason to thank MeFi today: Back in January, peep posted to Metafilter about Mel Juffe and Edward Gorey's The Recently Deflowered Girl, which had been long out of print. Through a delightful stroke of luck, I have become the editor responsible for bringing the book back into print, and the mefi thread about the book was pretty darn helpful to that end.

This recent thread, from October 8, is just about to close. It's been an extraordinary one, and is still active as of this afternoon.

There are about six different places where favorites live, and I often find myself confused as hell as to the differences between the various tabs and links.

We've had a day to recuperate from our post-Halloween comas and now it's time to share our awesome costume success stories. And horror stories, because it wouldn't be Halloween without them too.
