[OT] What are you this Hallowe'en?

I'm not sure yet. I'll have to keep an eye on this thread for ideas.

At a Halloween Party last Saturday I was a Ohio State Buckeye Fan. It was one of the few options open to me since I went to the party from the Game.

I've now followed through on an idea I've had since reading the Over the Edge book 8 years ago or so. I'm wearing a button down shirt, and a noose as a necktie. (and if non-gamers ask me I can always say that I'm the Enron executive just before the hanging.)

It was a cool pic in the book (best in the 1st ed version, the pic was a full page IIRK) so I bought some black rope this morning and went for it.

Ideas from past years:
-Go to a glass-cutting-store (check the yellow pages) and get them to take a 1-foot-square piece of plastic mirror, round the edges, and cut eyeholes and a mouth-hole. Wear it as a mask, with all-black clothes; when people ask what you are, look straight at them and say, "You."
-Get a styrofoam wig's head. Put a hooded mask on it and a pair of cheap sunglasses. Put the head on a stick. Get an oversized overcoat and stuff the arms with cloth, fastening the "hands" into the coat's pockets. Put the coat on, buttoning it over your head. Put the fake head on top. Walk down the street, manipulating the fake head with the stick, sometimes turning the head 180 degrees to watch people as you walk by. (Fake heads like this are great for costumes -- you can do all sorts of things with them! Two-headed monsters, decapitations, backwards-man, etc.)
-Make a grain silo out of posterboard, and wear it. Get a friend to make a sandwich-board with a sun design on it. Get a third friend to wear a white sheet with lots of holes cut into it. Walk around together as the Trinity.

my wife works in the environmental field and got me a "tyvek" suit. it is a blue jumpsuit. i pinned plastic goldfish on it and some pampas grass "pond plants" and went as a koi pond.

I actually forgot what day it was until I saw the Hamburgler pass me by.

I've always wanted to go as Pimp-Bot...

And I just want to pipe up and say that dressing as yourself and claiming some clever costume idea ("I'm a jock!") is lame lame lame. Get off your butt and make a real costume, ya lazy tweakers!

I think you missed my point, I'm a cereal killer not a serial killer. I have a box of kicks around my neck with a knife through it. I'm a cereal killer I do it for Kix. but other then the cereal I'm in normal work clothes.

Very cool! My comment wasn't addressed particularly toward you (although I admit I thought you were one of those plain-clothes lamers after your first post) -- it was addressed toward people who think some half-clever title for themselves ("ooh! ooh! I'm dressing up as me for Hallowe'en! hee hee hee!") is a substitute for a real, honest-to-God costume.

I take my Hallowe'en very seriously, you see.

Which is why I'm a flying monkey.
