Today in my ongoing series of photos from my travels: a striking red-devil reveller at the Hallowe'en street party in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Link

At first I wondered how Maynard James Keenan from the band Tool made it to BoingBoing...

Is that Michael McDonald from MadTV?

I don't think that's a costume.

#2, i thought along the same lines: at least batboy is out and moving on with his life now that his gig with the weekly world news is over.

Maurik (I think you're the one who commented on this), I had NIGHTMARES about the Lotus Seed Boob. I know what you mean. By comparison, this guy isn't so spooky.

man, look at his pupils they are huge, even with the flash going off in his face!...I think Beelzebub there is on large quantities of LSD, X, or both :)

I'm not sure how or why, but my gaydar spotted this guy.

His pupils are dilated because he's been running around at night. Pupil response is fast, but flash photography is faster.

yeah that's exactly what I tried to tell the cops last time too, but it didn't work out so much...

I still say he looks like Maynard from Tool....
