[OT] What are you this Hallowe'en?

[der_kluge]

I know I'm a day late here, but a couple of years ago to work, I wore camoflauge pants, my Zelda t-shirt, tennis shoes, and a beach towel safety-pinned around my neck. I carried a plastic sword, and a Star Wars gun that made sounds.

I was an 8-year old with an overactive imagination.

Last year it was warm enough, and I wore shorts, knee pads, elbow and wrist pads, and rollerblades. It wasn't much of a costume, but it was fun rollerblading around my office. I got a few double-takes from people who'd see me out of the corner of their eye sitting in their cube as I rollerbladed past them.


This year, I didn't get on the stick early enough to plan it, but I had an idea for a mummy costume. I was going to get rolls and rolls of bandages and roll them in dirt to get them good and dirty. And then cover myself from head to toe in them, and put on some sort of gaudy necklace thing. And then, as a final touch, I was going to get my wife to sprinkle flower on me. And the plan was that I'd act all still and then make a sudden jerk and the flower should come flying off like dust. Would have been awesome - maybe next year.

I also had an idea to be a70-s disco guy, but I would have had to scrounge the second-hand stores for weeks prior before I could have pulled that one off.

I'm dressing up as a devious, depraved creature who is always lurking in the shadows of every plot.

No, not a drow. I'm a politician.

I'm going to a halloween party tonight as the scariest monster in my state of South Dakota:

John Goon, Conservative Republican for Senate

BOOO!!!!!


(For those of you unfamiliar with South Dakota politics, which I'd imagine is all of you, SD has one of the hottest Senate races in the country- incumbent Democratic senator Tim Johnson is running against our Republican representative, John Thune. It's been an extremely ugly campaign with massive amounts of money pouring in to pay for an endless stream of negative campaign advertisements and mass-mailing campaigns constantly smearing Mr. Johnson on his gun control record, and a counter-campaign against Mr. Thune on his environmental record. I'm just glad the whole debacle is nearly over... and that Johnson is leading in the polls by 3%.)

I am torn as to our party tonight. My choices are a budlight can(made out of a particle board barrel) or a ding dong(hostess) so we shall see. I was the beer can last year, and it was a hit so....

I saw one of the funniest costumes ever a couple of years ago. Some guy came to a club and he was "The Sh*t". What he made was a costume that gave him this cloth toilet, basically, with a cloth skirt that went to the floor where his legs where, and an oval ring around his legs, probably around his knees or a little higher. Then there was a toilet seat that was probably around his butt or so, and the toilet back which was probably just a cardboard box with white cloth covering it. He had a sign with the words "The Sh*t" tacked to it so as to leave no doubt about what he was. And the rest of his body went into a huge brown lump of cloth and padding that was the bulk of his costume. And he walked through the bar, shouting "I am the sh*t", and when he got on stage (it was a contest), there was a ceiling fan, and he shouted, while pointing to the fan "Don't make me hit that!".

It was a riot.

Some other cool ideas I've seen was a Borg costume. One guy at a previous job had made a Borg outfit, and he put so much time and effort into it, it literally looked like he walked off a movie set. It was awesome - bicycle cables, and makeup, and gadgets, it was incredible.

Another neat one was the grim reaper - the guy wore sheetrock stilts that made him like 7 feet tall. He had a long black cloak, and a huge scythe that he carried. His mask was deep set into this hood on his cloak, and he had two red lights for eyes, so that you couldn't even really see his face, just these two red glowing eyes. It was amazing.

Here is one for the ladies

Dress up as a hooker and then tape/pin little plastic butts to your outfit and wala, you are a crack whore. I know it is just what every respectable woman wants to be.
