Driving through rural western Georgia this weekend, I saw this awesome house. I'm not sure if you can tell because of the low light and grainy photo, but those spiders are NOT just flat black cutouts. They're three dimensional and they look great. I'm a shade over 6' tall and the "Jason" in the foreground of the second picture was taller than me. It was delightfully creepy.
You're going to a gay guy's party and a drag queen's party and you think Cleopatra would be a little boring? You're missing the obvious. Go as "Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra" and you'll be the queen of the party. Well, at least you'll be one of the queens at the party.
Welp, I just decided what I'm gonna be: Bob Motherfuckin' Ross. I've already got the beard, Just need an afro wig, blue button-down shirt, bell bottoms and a paint brush and I'm ready to paint some happy trees.
If I felt like spending $160 or was a more enterprising (read: not lazy) fella and made one of these: http://www.halloweencostumes.com/mr...aign=PLA-All&gclid=CNjkoaOhmroCFcaj4AodhzsAOQ
The most fucking disturbing thing about this is that it suggests other costumes, and the "Adult Floater Poop" costume is OUT OF STOCK. What the fuck people?
Looks like it's Dr. Krieger for me this year: We'll see if the wife can pull off Lana: I would have done archer, but that would involve shaving the beard. And not acting like a creepy scientist all night. The other option was have the (asian) wife dress in all white, white-face, maybe a caucasian racist joke in, and been "white". I would have dressed up like a russian. Together - white russian. Also works as a single costume if your russian costume is all white. My favorites from years past: jesus, jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt, boobs, and the internet (just paste printed porn all over you).
On the expensive side, but going as Blake from Workaholics would be cool. Plus, if you live in a cold climate, you've got a bad ass bear coat to keep you warm. http://www.amazon.com/Workaholics-Officially-Bear-Coat-Size/dp/B009EGAE3O
Since the family theme is shot, Im going as Bane. Picked up the mask today, add military coat and boots and Im all set. Too bad this idea came so late, I would've loved to bulk up like in my college days and do it right.
I have a few ideas I'm bandying about. The coworker (who you read about in the drunk thread) has developed a bit of a nickname among our section which he is oblivious to, which I could perfectly use to my advantage by wearing a rastafarian hat. It's a bit of a risk to take, though. Second option is to go down to Home Depot, buy one of those hazmat onesies, and go as Walter White. Alternatively, go as Lance Armstrong. I can't do anything without everyone joking that I'm either taking or manufacturing illicit drugs, so I might as well join them.
I bought this: so now I'm either going to go the Mean Girls route (random animal ears) or be Superbowl Beyonce so I can walk around flexing and making that face all night
So I think I've decided on a costume idea, though it got very mixed reactions today. You can all criticize me if you think it's totally lame. While thrift shopping with some friends, I saw the UGLIEST denim maxi dress. My friend commented that it looked like something a fundie would wear, and I decided it would be funny to dress up as Michelle Duggar (of 17, 18 and 19 Kids and Counting "fame") for Halloween. I bought a slightly smaller, but equally hideous denim dress, a floral shirt to wear under it (no sleeves=not modest), and lots of baby dolls, which I will attach to the dress/carry around with me. I think I'm going to rig up a preggo belly, too, since she's essentially spent her entire adult life knocked up, and because it will make the costume slightly more offensive when I'm drunk.
Last week's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was pretty good timing. I'm just going to have to figure out where to get a spaceman helmet and how to do the beer pocket. Spoiler
I'm dressing up as Ness. No one ever knows who i am but I get to wear pants and carry a baseball bat, so Im ok with that.
