Title: What is your Halloween costume this year?
Post by: SalukiFan on October 26, 2005, 03:37:49 PM

Okay folks, here is your chance to show off your creativity.  Tell us what your costume is this year.

Personally, I am going as Trudy Wiegel from Reno 911  and a friend is going as Jim Dangle.  

Hmm, I guess you can see from my choice why I didn't reply to the "Who really doesn't watch TV" thread...

I'm working at a (pro-gun) kid's firearms safety class at the community Halloween party but I don't get to wear a costume. I'm just going to go as my usual grumpy self.

I normally dress the same every year: as a Triad enforcer...wait...that's how I dress everyday. The only addition to my normal costume is being drunk...

To be quite honest, I can never find a party quite good enough that would justify getting dressed up.

Nothing, although I am currently helping my roommate build his Star Wars Storm Trooper suit, which he spared NO expense on.

Maybe I could dig up a German Storm Trooper uniform

Luckily, I am not working that night. As a somewhat cynical ER nurse, I was going to go as someone who cared. Sure glad I don't have to go through that ordeal.

Quote from: Blackburn

I was going to be a Mall Ninja. No joke. All decked out, multiple duct taped ceramic plates, and more. I was then going to walk into various gunstores/shops in ETN that have employees likely to be "wise" to the concept.

Not enough time/cash now.

Blackburn, that's awesome, I'm bummed that you couldn't do it this year.  

Don't forget your briefcase with the ceramic plates so you can cover your head and "catch shots" while your SO sets up the breakdown NEF single-shot 300 WinMag with an 18" bbl.

For those of you who might have missed the original Mall Ninja stylings of Gecko_45, check out the links for more info:

I'm surprised more people aren't dressing up but I think I have unrealistic expectations for Halloween.  Being a native of  Carbondale, Illinois (you can read about Carbondale Halloweens in the "History section"), I'm used to every Halloween being a huge street party that always ends the same way:

"Oh hey, guys?  All the cops are putting on gas masks and prepping CS canisters.  Maybe we should leave..."

I like some of these ideas that you all have come up with though, keep 'em coming!

Doing the lazy one this year, putting on my western duds and teaching class as a cowgirl.

Last time I did the lazy routine, I opened my closet and pulled out my camos, gun logo t-shirt, NRA ballcap and boots and went to a grad school party as a right wing extremist.  Sad thing was, no one realized I was dressed up.

My wife and I are going to our first adult party (our son is 15 months old and it is nice to go to a party that doesn't revolve around The Incredibles or some other superhero) in a while.  We are going as a Goth couple.  

People at work were shocked because I am just about the most straightforward, LEO/military-type, almost-redneck appearing person you could meet.  

Imagine a 6'8"/330 lb. guy dressed in all black with the appropriate black fingernail polish and other accessories.

Did I mention that Halloween is not only my favorite holiday, but also my anniversary AND my mother's birthday?

Tomorrow I am masquerading as an IDPA shooter at a local range.

I'm not going anywhere and I'm not dressing up as anything.  Don't get me wrong - I like Halloween.  It was a lot of fun as a kid, even in college.  Now everyone has little kids to take trick or treating or to some school event.  Nobody I know has Halloween parties anymore (unless it's for their kids).  I guess I could find some bar that gives drink discounts for wearing some stupid get-up, but I'd probably end up going home with a scary witch and find out later that it wasn't a costume.  Maybe I'll just work late.

Dude, you go as anything you want.  I'm considered a "big guy" at 6' 1" and same weight as you, but that's off the charts.

I looove Hallowe'en...even more now I take my little sibs out than when I was the one collecting candy. My Scottish country dance class has a costume party every year. Some years I do a half-assed effort and go, say, as the Highlander (trenchcoat, wooden daito, and ponytail. It was sad, really, as even my friend who is an Adrian Paul fan didn't know who I was supposed to be.), but this year I put some thought and more importantly, some *money* into my costume.

If I had $8 more I would have put feathers on the inside of the wings, too. That would totally rock. But, alas, I am poor.

I'm going as an ATF Alcohol Compliance Inspector again (wearing a suit and an ID badge that hangs off my lapel saying my name is John "Bluto" Blurtarsky (John Belusi's character from Animal House) and "Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms: Alcohol Compliance Inspection Team").

Last year I went to a private party, so I bought a cheesy airsoft MP5K to hang across my back, but this year we're probably going to the bars so I've got to leave that at home.

I haven't had a Halloween costume for forty years.

However, I'm reminded of a Foxtrot cartoon strip in the newspaper of a few years back.  The nerdy youngest son, Jason, was dressed as the Windows Blue Screen of Death, and terrified everyone who answered the door.

I've got it! I'm going as Ann Coulter!

Blackburn, I think that would be funny.  Once you get the Ann Coulter down all you need is a pointy black hat and you can also be a witch.  Hell, you don't really even need the hat.  Be careful though, some guys think she's hot.  :yerp smilie:

I went to a big party last night dressed up as a soccer referee, complete with whistle and yellow/red cards.

If you spilled your drink, I blew the whistle and yellow carded you. The party hosts thought that was pretty funny!

Post by: SalukiFan on October 30, 2005, 09:17:11 AM

Well, we hit 3 Halloween parties last night and had a blast.  

At the second party the hosts had everyone vote for the best costumes.  My friend Brandon and I won second place with our Reno 911 (Dangle and Wiegel) costumes and won a gift certificate.  

It was kind of funny though - people kept asking me if I was a cop all night, if I'd just "gotten off work", etc. so apparently I was convincing enough that people didn't know what to think.  I'm just glad the parties didn't instantly break up when I arrived.
