[Max Gosey]

...and that man...



...is the dude. (White Russians included; beige robe was not to be found)

[koolaideprived]

haha, I'm sitting here rocking "The Dude" costume right now drinking a white russian. I've got the long hair, just need the facial hair.

Last night I saw a couple with a great idea.

The guy had dressed himself up as a huge roll of toilet paper, and his girlfriend dressed up as a giant ass. every now and again he'd run across the place and start rubbing up on her. it was great.

Last night I dressed as myself "tomorrow morning"

Messy unkempt hair, unshaven, lipstick smears on my face, big bags under my eyes, a nice dress shirt, no pants, boxers with some spill stains, handcuffs hanging off my right wrist, a bruise around my left wrist, some bills stucking out the tops of my socks.

tonight I'm going as a revenge of the nerds type guy. it's horrible

[LaramieSkiBum]

ok...party is in 10min, and I just finished....I have the "smart tap" tapped in, but not quite sure how to suspend the bag still...thinking of nixxing the bag...

My favorite is the retired Hooters girls...

A few years ago I went to the thrift store and got the worst looking clothes I could find...maroon pants that were too short, blue and white hawaiian that was way too big, etc. Then I cleaned out all of the barbie dolls that they had. Sewed the dolls all over the clothes...

Chick magnet!!

The poor clothing selection was more for irony than anything else...I guess it would work well if you were really well dressed too.

For whatever reason it was a big hit with the ladies...go figure??

So I followed SkiingBear's advice and I am very very grateful for doing so. The costume was voted most creative two nights in a row and my head still hurts massively from those Gin (Friday) and Vodka (Saturday) shots.

Ingredients:

10 Barbie dolls ($30)
50 safety pins ($5)
20 porn pictures (free!)
1 sewing kit ($3)

I was a gay missionary. Tiny shorts, shit unbuttoned but tied, and a flask size bottle of Malibu stuck in my waist band. Oh yeah and of course the name tag and the book.

Here are the pumpkins my wife and I carved tonight. Hers is on the left and is supposed to be a tree and a ghost. The tree kind of fell apart, though. Mine is a monster walking in a cemetery with a bat and full moon.

I went to a party on friday. The winners for the costume competitions were all freinds from med school. The winners:

#1: Astroboy!! Dave had to use the clippers to shave his body down to stubble. He drew a square across his chest for the panel, 'dressed up' in a black speedo with a vinyl belt extension so that it looked like it was all one piece. He made a black paper mache hairpeice with the spikes coming out of it, his boots were some red vinyl gaiters and red socks pulled over shoes. He was hillarious.

Second was Maverick and Goose. They wore towels, real dogtags (that had the names and everything) and aviators. Nothing else.

Third was Cupid. A homemade bow with arrows that had hearts instead of heads. He was wearing a little diaper thing and a sash with quiver. He was walking around sticking heart stickers on girls boobs to rave reviews all night.

Other good ones were the ghostbusters, the Bomber from tenenbaums, a hot hot hot chick wearing a Canadian smki team skin suit (my personal fave).
All in all a pretty good evening.

This is from last year, but surprisingly easy to make, plus you get the ass comments all night....

Bumping this thread because of all the awesome ideas it contains.

In honor of his 250th birthday I'm going as Mozart this year. I've got an awesome costume, a ridiculous wig and a crazy amount of music sheets from

Die Zauberfloete
Le Nozze di Figaro
Symphony #35 & #41
various Piano Sonatas

that I'll be handing out all evening.

I also loaded up my iPod with Mozart operas, divertimenti, etc. and will ask every girl for a minuet.

All white clothing with a large, blue plus sign on the front. Positive pregnancy test. Scary huh.

I so wanted to do Maverick and Goose this year but my friend bailed. It would have been fucking cold, but oh so worth it.

Maybe next year.

I live for Haloween costumes. Let's see, back in college... 1991, Freshmen year, didn't realize how important a good Halloween costume was until I saw people getting theirs ready. Managed to throw together a respectable SWAT team costume (black ball cap w/ homemade SWAT insignia, black shirt, fatigue pants, and black hockey shoulder pads that looked like a flak vest).

Next year I was ready- Axl Rose from the "Don't Cry" video (was big that year)- think kilt, umpire chest protector, wig, bandanna, granny sunglasses. The kicker was having my artist buddy do all his tatoos for me in permanent marker. I pulled some serious tail that night! Next year- gangbanger (long before it got played out) Black stussy beanie over beaded cornrow wig, hoodie, flannel, loc sunglasses and brown bagged 40oz. The clincher was making fake gold fronts out of a Gold Circle Coin condom package. Hard part was keeping from swallowing the damn thing!

Beastie Boys Sabatoge Cop? Did that the year the video came out. Once did Mr. Orange from Resevoir Dogs (black suit from thriftstore, 9mm replica in a shoulder holster, huge wet chest wound made from 5 tubes of vampire blood). Did a Viet Cong soldier (Rice paddy hat, ammo bandolier, black pajamas and flipflops) to complement my ex-girlfriend's GI costume. Went as an Amish farmer (already had the beard). One year I went as that assclown Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit. Bought one of those stupid red Yankees hats, Echo t-shirt, addidas shell toes, camo shorts, fake bling and tats. My roomate did the bassist perfectly with a black karate outfit, black and white makeup (looked like a burnt matchstick) and black contacts. We jumped around all night like idiots and made sure the DJ played that "Nookie" song whenever we entered a bar.

One of my easiest and best was when I went as a Mormon (short sleeve dress shirt, tie, bike helmet, backpack, "Elder Ben" name tag, made a ton of fake Book of Mormon pamphlets (a few sheets of blank paper stapled together with BOM on front) to handout). I had my Utard friends rolling all night. It was really fun going into bars in that costume!

One time I lamed out and went as 'Old Time Hockey". I threw on my hockey gear, old school lace up jersey, foil on my knuckles. Made a black eye, couple of butterfly bandages, and shoved a wad of tootsie roll over my front teeth to black them out. It actually was pretty good, in retrospect.

Not sure what I'm going to do this year. Yet.

[half-fast]

a girl in my office and a friend are going as Anna Nicole Smith and her dead son

I did the mormon costume last year. Got the idea from here, which means probably you. So thanks.

Only one person knew what I was while going out in Chicago.

I'm bringing back a good one from college this year. Cpt Sanders. Been growing the beard for two weeks now and going to get my white suit tonight. Can't wait.

I don't think I posted it, but it was an idea I'm sure a lot of people have had. I hadn't seen it before but I'm sure I didn't originate it.

And it's Col. Sanders. Get it straight before you go out!
