So last night I settled in to go to bed and decided to watch the Colbert Report as I drifted off to slumber, and naturally — right as I was about to doze off — master-internet-baiter Tom Hanks showed up randomly in a skit on affordable Halloween costumes. How could I possibly go to sleep then? Well of course I couldn’t!
“I’m not here to talk about me, my movies or my legacy as a living legend,” Hanks declared. “Actually, Stephen I’m here for the kids with some great, inexpensive costumes that will make for a spooktacular Halloween.”
Hanks then went on to present a series of costume ideas that, well, let’s say they all had a certain theme to them. And then someone else awesome makes a cameo at the end. (I don’t want to spoil it for you, but it’s not Chet Haze.) Enjoy!

I contend he saw the internet-baiter post, called Colbert, grabbed –that person– and said “let’s make it 11.
I was hoping there would be a little Private Ryan and Tom would hand him some candy before grabbing him roughly by the shirt and saying, “EARN thiiiis”.
Nobody has ever been as happy to see me as that audience was to see Tom Hanks…
I was an excellent Forrest Gump last year. Gave my self a special needs haircut and had a box of chocolate, one half filled with pot cookies, the other half with normal cookies.
