What are you and yours dressing as for Halloween?

Jamisjockey · « **Reply #1 on:** October 31, 2007, 02:35:12 AM »

An upper middle class suburbanite.
My boy will be a cartoon character, and my daughter is the ice princess.

She dressed as a Brownie (like girl scout) for work. I wore basketball shorts and a t-shirt when I answered the door for the trick or treaters, this is what I normally wear when I get home and not going anywhere. I wasn't in the mood to dress up and I only had 4 kids stop by for treats. I want to know where all the rug rats are that I see every day in the neighborhood.

I have four costumes: a witchhunter puritan, a wizard, a barbarian, and a mandarin. Thought of adding a pirate but now everybody wants to be a pirate due to a certain recent atrociously bad movie series, which will remain unnamed.

Homicidal maniac.

They look like everyone else.

Which means I get to wear my normal jeans and polo.

After the "Incident" last year, Mrs Scout won't let me take the kids trick-or-treating as a "streaker" anymore. shocked

A long haired creepy.

A cowboy-drifter looking character: boots, jeans, sixgun, Carhart coat, neckerchief, beard, and wool hat.

Wait! That's how I dress every day this time of year. rolleyes

She's dressing as Hillary? grin

Also, one of the papers here showed an amusing "Al Gore" costume. Guy in a suit, scowling, carrying an inflatable globe and a hair dryer pointed at it.

I'm going to put on a shirt and wear my Jerry Garcia tie.
That's about it.

mtnbkr · « **Reply #12 on:** October 31, 2007, 08:03:27 AM »

I'm going as "boring white guy". Dockers, polo shirt, short haircut, wife and kid.

Oh...

Wait, that's me every day of the year. Wink

I've got a pretty snazzy "Wizard's Robe" and a high-end latex skeleton mask in the closet. I figure with those two I can mix and match a couple times.

cosine · « **Reply #14 on:** October 31, 2007, 08:39:48 AM »

Surprisingly enough, so far I've only seen one student wearing a costume. I thought there would be more.

I thought that was "Dorky Middle Management Yes Man"?

Nightfall · « **Reply #16 on:** October 31, 2007, 09:00:44 AM »

I'm going as "guy who just got home from work and is still wearing Dockers and a dress shirt".

Or maybe I'll put on a golf glove and pretend I'm a golfer. From hell or something.

Nah, haven't aspired to my inevitable position on the Peter Principle continuum yet. Wink

I think I'll dress up as a deputy sheriff...

except I'll have real guns, real handcuffs, a real cop car, etc.

I imagine I'll get to attend a few festivities tonight, but I won't have an invitation to any of them. I also won't be imbibing.

Hopefully, I won't have to help load anyone into the meatwagon. Helping someone into a cell is OK, though.

Now, where's that chick in the "Elvira" costume? Huh?

Heh... most fun was when we still had the snake. I answered to door with three feet of boa constrictor wrapped around the back of my neck.

The kids, it didn't faze. But one mother, when she realized that there was a real snake nosing in her direction, teleported down the driveway (roughly 50'), leaving her kids behind.

HER mother (the tykes' grandma) thought that was hilarious.

Soccer referee. Black shirt, black shorts, black socks. Whistle and red/yellow cards.

When somebody dumps a beer/drink, you blow the whistle and they are shown a yellow card for bad play. Write the costume in the book, and display the yellow card to the party. It's pretty funny. Red cards are used for peeing outside (illegal in the city), vomiting, or getting caught making out. Red wine on a white carpet is also a red card.

Mabs2 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 31, 2007, 01:30:35 PM »

Well, I couldn't get the tie on.
A contraption of the devil, I say.

RadioFreeSeaLab · « **Reply #22 on:** October 31, 2007, 02:41:26 PM »

I'll be dressing up as a festively plump mid 20's IT manager who is stuck at work tonight. Exciting, yes?

Tuco · « **Reply #23 on:** October 31, 2007, 02:58:29 PM »

5yr old = Cowgirl
3yr old = Ladybug
Wife = MILF
Me = Sitting on the rocker by the stairs giving out candy to the little gremlins.

SWMBO would not let me rig up the Cowgirl with a holstered, nonoperational Single Six, nor give single pennies to 15+ yr old gremlins.

I try, but curmudgery eludes me.

BOO!

I don't participate in satanic rituals.
