What's your costume?

[Ranger REG]

Wow some of you have some creative ones!

I'm more along the lines of the pumpkin- This year me luv and I are going as Yogi and his girl Cindy.... Hey, it's better then the priest and catholic school girl from last year. WE do try and change around from year to year, and not many yogi and Cindy's out there

What? No picture of the schoolgirl?

BTW, what's the difference between a Catholic schoolgirl and a Protestant schoolgirl?

One of my friends told me about a costume he saw once where this girl had put a small round table around her waist, complete with a table cover that went to the ground; a lampshade on her head, and a condom on the table top. She was a one-night stand.

I saw a guy in a bar several years ago wearing what could only be described as a California raisin costume - just this big mess of brown, but he'd build a toilet around it. And he had a sign tacked to the back of the toilet that read "The S***". It was the funniest thing I think I'd ever seen. He got on stage (it was a costume contest) and the stage had a ceiling fan, which he pointed to and said, "Don't make me hit that!"

My wife and I bought costumes last year for a neighbor's Halloween party, and she dressed as a Nun with *way*too much makeup and high heels, and I went as a monk. My wife was reluctant to go with the nun costume, but once she tried it on, I just died laughing and she agreed that it was just too funny not to get.

I'm going as a nerdy, girlfriend-less CS graduate with nothing to do on Saturday but read ENWorld.

I don't know. What?

I'm not going anywhere tomorrow, but I was reading "20th Century Boys" last night and thought it would be cool to go as Tomodachi, with his face wrapped in bandages and the eye/hand symbol on it. and a suit on. But I'm not a broad-shouldered guy, so I thought the effect would be lost. And, y'know, I couldn't see or breathe or anything like that.

I don't know. What?

Actually, I'm seriously asking. Sorry, I don't have a punchline. But if anybody have an answer (humorous or not), please post it.

I saw someone walking down the street as Gumby, which was great.

Other than that, there seemed to be a lot of the fairy/maid/slutty college girl costumes going around this year. Kinda disappointing.

I was thinking of going as a balding, anorexic sasquatch, but I'm getting too old for that.

I wore a really good Zombie costume which got quite a few compliments even though it was storebought. There was a good sized party that I went to, and I never saw a second one so that was pretty good.

In my group, we also had a Lich, a Knight, a Druid, a European Monk, and a mischievous fairy. You knew she was mischievous because normal faeries don't wear stilettos and have a tiny whip.

Next year I'm hoping for going as a medieval peasant with the bubonic plague. If nothing else, it's a good excuse to approach the women dressed as nurses. Heh.

Well, I did my White Picket Fence costume, and not a single person--even my most incorrigible punster friends--got it without prompting. Once folks got it, they sometimes ran away in disgust, though, so it was all worthwhile. I think it's the most obscure costume I've done yet.

My wife, who dressed as a pirate wearing a bandolier covered in old computer game CDs and manuals, had an easier time; plenty of people realized she was a Software Pirate.

My two favorite reactions of the night:
1) The guy that saw my wife, nodded happily, and said, "Cool, a Canadian pirate!" We still have no idea what he was talking about, but it really amused us.
2) The trustafarian who read my sign "Workers Revolutionary Engarde Party--Our Movement Will Not Be Foiled!" and gave me a peace sign and said "Yeah! Viva la revolucion!" I was mortified at first that people thought I was trying to politicize Hallowe'en, until I realized exactly how stupid a response that was, and started giggling a lot.

What would you like girls (or guys; seen them cross-dressing) to wear that won't disappoint you?
