10. Lolcat

You knew this one was going to make it on here somehow, right? If you like things that are cute, fuzzy, and obscenely nerdy, consider making the Halloween party circuit dressed as a lolcat. In case you aren't familiar with this Web trend, it refers to those goofy photographs of cats with grammatically dubious captions written on them. Come on, we know you've seen them.

So here's how you do it: obtain a cat costume, or make one yourself, depending on how much effort and money you want to put into this getup. Then wear a caption around your neck, preferably in the form of a large sign or sandwich board. The contents of said caption are up to you, but proper lolcat grammar is requisite. Suggested phrases include: "I can has," "invizible," "oh noes," "do not want," and "it has a flavr." If you're really lucky, maybe when you go trick-or-treating someone will give you a "cheezburger."

But if the idea of dressing up like a lolcat for Halloween appeals to you, by all means do it now: this viral Web trend is gonna be so-o-o over by this time in '08.
