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. Wink

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

Im going to be playing the poor dude who has to stay at home doing homework while watching scary movies and doing my part for the American Dental Association.

My costume: Coma patient. I will be snugly asleep in bed.

I go as stressed-out, crazed yuppie scum. I don't have to spend much on the outfit. Cheesy

I despise halloween.

Bare-ass naked.

It's certainly scarier than anything I could put on.

I will go as a happy father, taking his boy out for his first Halloween (boy dressed as a spider).

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.

swmbo and I are going as Muddy Gras 2006 attendees

She made some masks and I made a couple t-shirts with Cooter the Looter on them and Muddy Gras 2006 on them.

We are wearing rubber knee boots (s**t boots I call them) and will be packing (mexican carry) the stupidist looking toy guns we can find at walmart.

Of course I am goign to carry a sign that says "show me your t*ts) and she will have one that says "you loot, we shoot"

we will be laided heavily in beads.

I'm going as someone who gives a damn.

Then I'm going to hand out fresh road apples to all the trick or treaters...

Thinking about throwing on a set of monk's robes and tucking a bag of Ruffles in my rope belt. Then I could go as...

a chipmunk. Cheesy

Inspired by Mike Irwin, I came up with this costume:

You know, I started to post that a couple of times, but I figured it would break the "Art's Grandmaw" rule rolleyes

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. Sad

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.

Where did you get my picture?

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. Shocked

Maybe I'll just work late.
