My vote is for Kasia Grabowska; sweaters are creepy.
Mel Haynes as The Costume. Forces Treaters to use their imagination. (or maybe I’m just too old for this)

Ed Liberman as Big Baby is by far my fave lol made me laugh
I vote for all of you! I’m jealous I missed it; guess I already know what I’m going to be for next year. Awesome costumes! I can’t decide if it’s awesome, or frightening, that our future is being led by a 6’4″ bearded man in a skin-tight, pink, tutu-leotard but it sure is clear that we have a FEARLESS leader. LOL Go Scott!
I wonder if “Mr Ballerina” will stick, like “Gunz” has to Gary??….
Gotta go wipe Roux’s nose; got him sick too. *sneeze* to all of you. Happy Howl-o-ween from both Roux and me.
K – or should I say, “Marilyn”

the HOT and SEXY Tonia Douglas as Cleopatra. Have time to look while I hurry up and wait for 2 P2V’s to finish so that I can go back to my room and get some sleep. I brought my vSphere training from Train Signal with me to study in my spare time, but at 14 -16 hour days this week the only extra time is spent sleeping.
Happy Halloween

Tonia Douglas as Cleopatra is my vote.
Love the Ed Liberman Baby Costume how long did it take to make?
Holy crap, Scott based on your pass catching ability in ThinkTank football I thought you were 100% red blooded Midwest boy but now I have to question that uber-manhood
Of course because of the shock factor you do get my vote.
OMG! I vote for Mr. Ballerina! Too funny!
Ed Leiberman as baby …. creative … daring ….
my vote is for Ed Liberman , nice thinking……..mahesh
My vote is for Joey Sansone, AKA (Raiden) Next year it would be wicked sweet if you where to add sound to candidate picture to when you rolled over it would play a sound clip.
That just my two cents.
Mortal Kombat Raiden

My winner is definitely- Scott Skinger!!
Because he does not hesitate to show his feminine side!
I guess Kasia looked very elegant too!

I would like to place a vote for: Ed Liberman as Big Baby Ed’s custome is hilarious and disturbing at the same time.
Gotta go with Heather Ackmann as a PC – Heather went old school and created something instead of store bought – what a novel idea!!!
Rowdy Morrow how do I get my abs to look like that..Looks like you rock literally!! I want you as my trainer.
Hey Rowdy Morrow I pick you as my partner to be on the next biggest loser!I think we have a good chance of winning..
Scott Skinger as Mr. Ballerina
I have to vote for “Gary Eimerman as Captain Train Signal.” It looks like he put a good bit of work into that costume. It was a tough decision though!
I would have to go for Ed Liberman as Big Baby. LMAO!!!! THAT was hot!!!
Matt Elias
Tough call, but my vote goes to Scott Skinger as Mr. Ballerina. That is some pretty freaky…stuff. I might be scarred for life and will have haunting visions that will wake me up screaming in the middle of the night…thanks.
Definitely Ed Liberman, but when is he going to put his costume on???
I vote for “the costume”
Mel Haynes as “the Costume”
That really took some though…to find the perfect costume is a challenge.
He even looks confident in his costume, that says allot!
Ed Liberman as Big Baby gets my vote….too funny!
Sandy Moran – she is for sure “out of this world”. She gets my vote for sure!!!
of course train signal is the best. but my vote goes to Ed Liberman as Big Baby
Ed Liberman as Big Baby. Must have had a cumbersome day!
Definitely vote for Ed Liberman awesome costume Ed. !!!!!
Rowdy gets my vote…he is the “biggest” hunk for Halloween!!!!
I’ve got to go with Ed Liberman. That is really funny.
My vote is for David Davis
I would like to place a vote for Tonia Douglas as Cleopatra
Sandy Moran!!! Was that “raptor” blue spray in your hair?
ED LIBERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HILARIOUS!!!
SuperCoach… crashing a server with a single click is straight up SKILLZ. Coach ROX.
I liked Rowdy Morrow as the Personal TRAIN-er Quote: “Heavy weight training!”
He looks very healthy.
I gotta vote for Rowdy.
Tough Call but the cutiest has to be “Max the Monkey”
BJ
My vote goes for Captain Train Signal although now I expect to see him at all of the upcoming conventions with his sidekick the Alien from Planet Train Signal.
A close second are Heather as the PC and Lisa as Punky Brewster. I think that Lisa could double for the TV Punky Brewster. Her attention to detail is perfect.
It looks like you all had a good time playing a part. Your costumes tell us a little bit about each of you. Even Mel’s costume sends a message, just not sure what it is.
Looks like Train Signal is a great place to work (and play).
My Choice is
Gary Eimerman as Captain Train Signal Quote: “Best Computer Training on the Planet!”
Captain where are you ….. I need your help.
I choose “Gary Eimerman as Captain Train Signal”.
He’s the representation of a TrainSignal mascot.
Scott Skinger as Mr. Ballerina, only problem is my 5 year old daughter now wants me to have the same costume!!!!
Poker player is the best
Ed Liberman Ed Liberman (one person with two costumes,
(one person with two displays of the name)
His double duty costume is in line with the double duty he does as instructor of the Network+ (2009) Training: Nice and organized training + a dry sense of humor. Go Ed L !
Gary Eimerman. Great logo!
My vote is for Rowdy. With a trainer like that who needs a diet?
My vote is for Scott Skinger. He clearly demonstrates why men should not wear pink. Gives new meaning to the acyronym OMG!
. . . It’s good we only “hear” him in the training videos.
A lot of clever, thought provoking outfits, no losers! Very hard to vote for just one, so
1st – Gary Eimerman, know Erin can’t sew
2nd- Scott Skinger, confident gentleman
3rd – Ed Liberman, clever
Ed Liberman AKA Dad. That’s Awesome!
LISA SZPUNAR IS THE BEST!!!!!!! SO ORIGINAL!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
My vote goes to Ed Liberman! Cool!
Tough decision – quite a few gutsy people / costumes.
If I have to pick one on inventiveness and coolness, then I’m going with
Joey Sansone as Mortal Kostume
Matt Elias as Family Guy Chicken.
I vote for Heather Ackman as “I’m a PC”
Looks like Eddie and I have the same costume http://www.radaronline.com/photos/image/28030/2009/11/angelina-jolie-and-brad-pitt-take-kids-trick-or-treating#image-load
bill kulterman is the man
Lisa Szpunar as Punky Brewster
Mel Haynes, when you look that cool, any thing will be a costume.
My vote goes to Rowdy Morrow as the Personal TRAIN-er Quote: “Heavy weight training!”. She is really a heavy weight trainer for trainsignal.
Lisa Szpunar as Punky Brewster
Tonia Douglas as Cleopatra – cant go wrong with Egyption Style!
Matt Elias as Family Guy Chicken
Matt Elias as Family Guy Chicken –> all the way baby!
Ed Liberman as Big Baby is very original and maybe a little too telling of his relationship with his mom!
Pinky bruster because I so had the hotd for her in the eighties
I know its over folks but one can always wish that the sweater fairy/faerie won!
As a side question are their any coupon codes for getting a discount on your training courses? I have searched high and low on the net for one, and they all come up as expired,out of season (i.e IRISH) or invalid. I dont mean to sound like a cheap something or other, but any savings would be welcome, what with Christmas coming up and all. If you do have any coupon codes could you send me an e-mail.
Thanks!
Sincerely a stinky sasquatch that found your page a day late!
Ed’s costume is nice, it trick my mind for a moment. the costume is a clever idea.
My vote goes to Rowdy Morrow as the Personal TRAINer.
Another interesting post.
