i do not know where your clothes have been and i do not think i would want to wear them either, so i guess that makes us even!
except no it doesn't because you're still using my avatar, you jerk.

I ordered a new optimus prime voice changing helmet... Not so much for Halloween but more for the job interview I have soon, is a phone interview and voice changing mask and anyone who would not hire someone who sounds like Peter Cullen for a tech support call centre job is not worth working for.

Might just dress up as a dead person again as all my friends are boring and although I have been invited to a party it is far away and I will get hit on by girls I am not allowed to do because they are friends of my good female friend and she says not to. LAN centre is throwing an all nighter though...

I demand pics of everyone BTW.

Chris and I are throwing a Halloween party, mostly because our friends live far away and most of them have not seen our apartment since I moved in and spiffed it up. I'm going as Sarah Palin- stupid hair, skirt-suit, square-rim glasses, and a bloody stuffed-animal moose.

I'm working on Halloween. Boo. (This situation totally didn't come about as a result of me agreeing to cover a friend's shift or anything.)

Luckily, we are not only allowed but actively encouraged to dress up. I have to check with my manager to see if there's a theme but I think I might go as a disco kitty. As in, a cat. With silver makeup and... dancing?

Guys, I just bought some silver lipstick off Ebay and now I can't pay for it because it won't accept my debit card. HOW ANNOYING. I'll have to find my cheque book tonight and delve into my savings. Huh.

I guess if we're attempting to stay on topic, I'm going to a Halloween party on the 30th, but I don't know what's going on yet on the 31st. For said party, I think I'm going as Dobby the house elf. I have the hat and elf ears and now I just need either a giant pillowcase or an "I love Harry Potter shirt" and mismatching socks. Probably the latter.

My fiancee throws a big Halloween party every year with a murder mystery and gaming and pizza and good times. Costume required. I pushed for us to dress up as Zombie McCain and Zombie Palin but he can't wear a political costume to work and wouldn't do an assassination themed murder mystery. Boo. So now we're going as Jack the Ripper and Lizzie Borden which is less timely but I already have all the components for the costume except a plastic hatchet and more fake blood. I may actually wear this costume to work.

My last two costumes were Howard Hughes and a really, really dead person (gunshot plus fake knife in stomach plus slashed wrists plus green fake "poisoning" makeup... that was fun).

Still trying to decide between Taylor the Sailor and the Freudian Slip.

Freudian Slip! Mostly because I want to see how you'd do that.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #60 on:** 22 Oct 2008, 12:56 »

I did that a few years ago:) Wear a slip and a Hello My Name Is Freud tag. Then you gnash on a cigar and ask awkward questions about peoples mothers.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #61 on:** 22 Oct 2008, 15:29 »

I always pictured the Freudian slip outfit as wearing a slip with a big picture of Freud having sex with his mother on it.

You could probably screen-print this if you were keen.

Tom Lukiwski is my Member of Parliament. For Halloween, I'm going as 1991 Tom Lukiwski!

I'm probably going as a zombie belly-dancer, because I'm going to the Washington DC Zombie Walk the next day, and I don't want to have to go home after the halloween party. I'm being extremely lazy with my costume, because I'm just adding fake blood to one of my old gig outfits. But it'll be fun.

nobo · « **Reply #64 on:** 22 Oct 2008, 16:35 »

Would dressing up as Eddie Norton's character Derrick Vineyard from American History X be too offensive? I have the facial hair and build for it, add a head buzz and a few sharpie tattoos and i think i would be pretty good

Nodaisho · « **Reply #65 on:** 22 Oct 2008, 17:25 »

I'm sewing a plastic apple onto a hat and getting one of those cheap arrow-through-the-head things. William Tell's other son. Cheap, and I get to dress warmly.

Alex C · « **Reply #66 on:** 22 Oct 2008, 17:28 »

I don't really think that'd be worth the effort, honestly; I mean, Norton was obviously playing to a very specific stereotype in that movie, so many people are likely to see the stereotype and not the character. If you're comfortable with people thinking you're going as a plain ol' skinhead though, knock yourself out.

Inlander · « **Reply #67 on:** 22 Oct 2008, 17:46 »

Or knock other people out, as the case may be.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #68 on:** 22 Oct 2008, 17:49 »

Why not both?

I am ALSO being Sarah Palin. I'm slinging a fake rifle though, hopefully, and I already have the glasses, hair, red power suit and a Minnesota accent. The best part of that is that I have an exam in a class where a girl once said "Sarah Palin is wonderful" and she was serious. Maybe I should say I'm Tina Fey as Sarah Palin instead.

There's a badass show too with a bunch of bands being other bands. One band is being the Cars, one is being Slayer, and the other is Queens of the Stone Age. All of them are local bands who I like, specially the first one. Yeah! I think I might accuse the second band of not being Christian.

I am kind of bummed though, the only Halloween ritual I've had since I moved to Fargo was to play only really good cover songs on my radio show, but I don't have that anymore

Dimmukane · « **Reply #70 on:** 22 Oct 2008, 18:37 »

As a pre-Halloween halloween party thing, I'm going to be a fratboy! My friend is taking me to some bar I don't plan on going to again, so why not pretend to be an asshole? A couple polos with the collars popped, and a backwards Family Guy hat. American Eagle shorts to finish. Sandals, too, if it's not too cold.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #71 on:** 22 Oct 2008, 18:49 »

Yay! I love that. My friend did that one year, a pink polo with the collar popped, a trucker hat cocked to one side, and lots of Heineken. Only here we call 'em Sweet Dudes

nobo · « **Reply #72 on:** 22 Oct 2008, 19:33 »

to be honest, i just want to do derrick vineyard to see if any strangers I run into say anything. many people go out of their way to avoid conflict and that makes for nice awkward situations. then again, there is the chance of running into someone large that doesn't avoid conflict. may have to go with a safer choice

Quote from: ViolentDove on 21 Oct 2008, 18:30

Also, Emaline, I suppose you're talking about white powder and maybe foundation as well? My advice would be to implant some kind of tracking device into a local Goth, then release them into the wild. They will undoubtedly lead you to a large cache of white powder and foundation.

I am, but I live in a small farming town. Goths are pretty rare here. I am sadly probably the closest thing to a goth you could find. A bit away in St. Louis, there are more goths, but I haven't met any that have been to friendly to me, and the ones that have aren't very goth. And they make fun of the other goths, and nobody wears any god damn white powder foundation. Ugh. I don't want to order it online.

jodizzle · « **Reply #76 on:** 23 Oct 2008, 03:54 »

Oh! The many personalities of Roddy,

As the other Aussies have already mentioned. Halloween is not a big deal here (something I lament every year). But I guess I will go to Brisbane Friday afternoon, seeing as I will be there that weekend anyway. if Brett only works until 9 like he thinks he might I guess we will hang out? I'm sure there is something going on. I probably won't dress up though. Maybe I will go as 'rad'. So I will just dress how I always do.

calenlass · « **Reply #77 on:** 23 Oct 2008, 07:08 »

Roddy your Jack Frost costume is probably one of my favourite ever.

Guys I have all the parts to a potential excellent costume except body paint. Where do I get good paint that I can afford, that will cover my whole body, and will be opaque and true to the colour that comes out of the container? Barring that, how do I tint my own theater makeup? I have checked out Ben Nye but all of that stuff is like greasepaint, which is gross and not what I want. Also I tried liquid latex, but that is translucent and like white doesn't show up at all and blue looks green and orange looks kind of yellowy because of my skin underneath.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #78 on:** 23 Oct 2008, 08:27 »

Sorry, but you're probably the person here with the most body paint experience to speak of.

october1983 · « **Reply #79 on:** 23 Oct 2008, 08:29 »

I don't think I'll be dressing up this year, because I have very little inspiration and seriously doubt I will ever manage to top last year's costume.

That said, I will be going to see El Guincho play, which should be awesome, although not particularly scary.

Cam · « **Reply #80 on:** 23 Oct 2008, 09:09 »

I decided to do something completely different this year. I am going to dress up as Beaker. I'll be fabricating my beaker mask this week end.

I don't have a problem with the abortion humour thing, I just think it's a bit crap as a costume. Put some more effort into offending people.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #86 on:** 23 Oct 2008, 10:40 »

I agree with supersheep. Those as accessories make no sense without a costume, which should be a dirtied doctor's scrubs. And maybe a big jar with a doll inside of it. Honestly for Halloween I don't see how anyone's offended by anything anymore, not after they started making those stupid Saw movies where they've got people landing on a pile of used syringes and Hostel where a guy snips off the melted eyeball of a girl. I think nowadays the trick is to be both disgusting and politically incorrect.

Edit: FUCK YOU PAGEBREAK.

I'm going to be Kitty Pryde! I'm a little surprised she is not more popular, actually. Probably going to be spending Halloween night between a co-op party and a coworkers party.

0bsessions · « **Reply #91 on:** 23 Oct 2008, 13:20 »

Kitty Pryde is probably not a popular choice because she's not a character that really stands out. The only outfits she's ever had that really stand out are the ones she wore for like an issue at a time. Everything else is pretty generic and amount to yellow and blue spandex and a Star of David. She's never really had an iconic look that anyone would recognize her by. Storm stands out by being the only prominent black female superhero, Phoenix always stood out by her red hair and some of her iconic costumes, Psylocke had the purple hair to distinguish her. Shadowcat was always a relatively generic looking teenager in a generic looking X-Men costume.

How are you planning on selling it? This is of great interest to me.

And yes, Tommy, that makes you racist.

Damn, those look good. I want one. Now!

Last year my friends and I decided (and Brits surrounded by Americans) to go as Harry Potter characters, because it would be pretty recognisable... and we were!

My friend was Luna and she spent a good drunken half hour sitting on a street corner counting the number of girls crossing the street who looked like whores. Ah, that's the mark of a good holiday!

I'm not sure how to post an image, so I'll go try and find out how to do that and then you might get a photo.

Yeah, see, this is how I decided to do this. It occurred to me that my hair looks like hers at its current length, so I could pull off Juno. However I'd probably have to go as pregnant for it to really click for people, and one of my coworkers is currently very pregnant, so...I thought that'd be weird.

So then I just looked at Ellen Page's other roles.

Anyways, yes, Jon, you're right, so I did have to kind of pick and choose images to decide how I wanted to look. I've already bought the pieces so I guess I'll just share pictures after Halloween
