i'm having trouble thinking of a halloween costume..
nothing too complex, and nothing that should interfere with drinking abilities (such as masks).. any ideas?.. or how about.. what are ya'll doin for halloween?
I bought a red shirt, taped a big white star to the chest, attached a propellor made from cardstock and wire to a blue hat, and tucked my arms in my sleeves when I wasn't holding a glass or bottle last year. Can you guess who I was?
By the way, I spent a few hours the afternoon before the party cobbling this together. Not exactly complex, but a lot of people got it and thought it was funny.
Haha that would be so fun to be Strongbad... I'm being Martha Stewart. You know, the garden clogs, basket of fresh-baked muffins, apron with a trowel tucked inside the pocket, and handcuffs...
Darryl, that just wouldn't work... not only would hardly anyone know who you were, you wouldn't even be able to tell them without getting into an argument over the pronunciation...
Kathleen, that's the funniest, most topical costume I've heard so far this year. If you're going to be somebody else, BE them. I had the most fun last year as Harpo Marx. Part of my costume was a trenchcoat that I sewed large pockets on the inside of and filled with all kinds of crap. I played jacks on the floor while waiting for a table at a resturant, then sat down with strangers on my way to the table. Someone dropped a spoon at the other end of the long table we were seated at so I slid under and crawled all the way to the other end pinching and untying shoes all the way there. And then there was the dancing......Cory, it comes down to what you want to be when your behavior will be excused.
Haha, Halloween. In one week thousands of drunk college kids from all over Ohio are going to invade Ohio University and Athens for a weekend. My two good friends and I spent a bunch of time brainstorming something we could be as a group. They are both from Cleveland, and since it only has 3 big buildings, we decided to be the Cleveland skyline! Just need to find some refridgerator boxes....
I went, as the grim reaper one year. The cool thing was the makeup. It took two hours. What I liked the most is when I would chew food the teeth would move. It sort of turn some stomachs.
heh, i think i've narrowed my search down, using an old carhart jacket, and a toolbelt, i've enlisted my step-dad's aid in procuring tools and equipment.. i shall be.. a union telephone repair man. which will.. in my opinion, release me from actually doing anything productive.. how you ask?.. "i can't do that.. i'm Union.. you'll have to find someone else who is paid to do that" (i'm a union supporter)
I like to get into the part. Last year I dressed up as a pirate, and I ended saying ARGGGG!! for weeks as a result. This year I intend to be a devil, hehe ^ ^
a couple of years ago, after i got laid off from a pretty large corporate job, i ranted and raved about it for a few days, and for halloween i dressed up in a suit and red flame tie, with latex horns glued to my head, carrying around a zero halburton (stocked with liquor of course), i was.. dun dun dun.. corporate america (the negative side), thinking back, it was pretty stupid, but hey, it was fun at the time
Even thought Halloween was 2 months ago, I thought I'd give my input also lol...just go give some ideas, you never know when you might need a costume. Last year I was a rapper for Halloween. I wore these huge sweatpants, layered shirts, and all the chains and necklaces I could find... oh and I wore a bandana AND a sideways hat lol. This year I was a mime! I painted my face white and drew a black diamond across one eye and a tear underneath the other (I used black eye liner and black face paint). I wore ONLY black and white... I even took off the hemp bracelet that I always wear because it has a red bead... just thought I should be a pure mime. It looked pretty cool. There, those are my costume ideas. :D
