A week's diary of someone who had to wear one of those giant costume suits.

Among the memorable quotes:
"The biggest perk of being a Ninja Turtle at kids' parties was every weekend I got punched in the nuts for free. The average three-year-old's head was at crotch level and when they threw a punch, it was at that level, too. I finally wore a cup." - Tim Joyce
One, it's not a good idea to sneeze, cough or fart while encased in a suit you cannot unzip. Two, small children will continuously hug anyone clad totally in plastic. Three, Brad Pitt might not be as much of a wuss as I always thought he was.

Make sure when you read this you are not around other people. I had to stop half way through day 2 because I was laughing so hard I was crying....its still hard to type now. I'll read the rest of it when I get off.

I sympathise with the author's frustration at not being able to flip those kids the bird. I would have done so by about the 5 minute mark.

Music will take us to strange places and situations.
I was just one of the guys until my company commander of the Marine Corps barracks at N.A.S. Jax appointed me company bugler.
Now I'm getting up an hour earlier to duck foot lockers thrown and verbal abuse shouted at me from all directions.
