Need halloween costume!

The Incredible Hatboy · Mon Oct 15, 2001 1:45 am

Girlfriend is throwing HW party. Need costume if am to avoid going to the mandatory fallback, Ninja. IRL, look vaguely like Gendo Ikari without beard. Pronouns and unneccessary words for weak.

Go as Mr. Gumby from Monty Python's Flying Circus, another funny costume. And if you don't know who Mr. Gumby is, than shame on you.------------------

Switch clothes, get wig. Go as girlfriend, have her go as you. It's cute.
Fallback; find old sheet, cut holes.
if have cardboard box, copy Jackie, go as Fridge. -Octapus

oh ... here's a classic me costume! i have done this for the last 4 years. go as a crazy-psycho-serial-killer-who-beheads-his/her-victim-and-eats-their-corpse-and-puts-their-head-on-a-pole. find an old maniquin head and put it on a pole, maybe add some fake blood. then smear a little on you're face and shirt. or go as a cannibal if you can't find a head to bring! with the maniquin head you can always go with the joke "hey... ya want some head?"------------------

>>Switch clothes, get wig. Go as girlfriend, have her go as you. It's cute.<<Tempting, but not possible.A) Parents being kept unawares of dating. Going as each other make hard to keep suspicion being aroused.B) Girlfriend about foot shorter. Clothing switch leaves belly exposed.C) Reiterate "blackmail" problem. Have evil friends.

Go as Hatboy... Get big black tube and make brim, cut arm holes, head sticks out top... maybe make an I on it for incredible... Only works if you can find a big enough tube.

Get wig, fake blood, kilt, go as dead schoolgirl. As long as your friends aren't easily offended, the dead part makes it not as good blackmail.

There rae thousands of costumes awaiting in your closet, trust me. This year I needed a costume in a hurry, a little digging in my closet turned up an old green-striped rugby shirt and bang, I had a Steve from Blue's Clues costume (it helps to notice this sort of thing when you have a 14 m.o. child).Got a furry hat and an old winter coat? Stop by a toystore for a rifle and you're a Russian border guard. All pupose fedora + raincoat = Sam Spade. All purpose fedora + brown leather jacket = Indiana Jones.The fact that these outfits are so simple to make I always end up wearing them is all the more ironic considering I'm a fourth generation costumer.

i reitterate my previous comment.JUST ADD BLOOD.
got any clothes, add blood, and you're a dead person. maybe even some pale makeup and stuff to be zombie. toss on dirt and some fake worms to be a zombie who pulled themselves out of grave------------------

Get two trash bags and some duct tape. Poke two large holes in one bag for your legs and put it on like pants, duct tape belt them in place. Poke arm holes and a head hole in the other bag, put it on like a shirt. Add ramdon patches of tape on shoulders or wherever it looks cool. You are now "Future Man" As a bonus you can gel your hair into a point and wear way too much red eyeshadow.
Note: Make sure you have *grey* duct tape and heavy-duty style trash bags, and esp not the recycling bags.

Please, please, nobody get too upset about this one. And don't do this if you don't want people getting all weird on you..One year, I went as Jesus, with holes in the hands, a cut on the side, all that. White blood-splattered toga, a beard, sandals. The best thing about this costume is if anyone says anything sad or negative, you can solemnly reply, "We all have our crosses to bear." Or you can walk up to the bar table, sigh, and say "I feel like I've been dead for 3 days." Things like that. A fun side is to hand out copies of the story "Fists of God," which is the ninja story of Jesus.
