Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I’ll probably get attacked for even considering it, but I was considering talking a friend into attending his Halloween bash dressed as the World Trade Center’s Tower 1, with me going as Tower 2 - complete with flames and explosions and all that other scary stuff. Better yet, you go as Roman Polanski and your friend as the 13 year old girl? Or Pappa John and Michelle Phillips? Boundries dude...you need boundries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ673 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I saw a girl at a Halloween party once who had a bunch of household sponges taped all over herself. When I asked her what she was she said "self-absorbed"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 My initial thought was to wear traditional garb and go as one of potentially many famous Chinese people, but I think it may be altogether funnier if I went around with some Kanye shades, a jacket, and a mic, interrupting peoples conversations as in "Yo, girl, I know you be talkin', and Imma let you finish, but Winston Churchill had one of the best speeches of ALL TIME!" and then run away.

That Kanye idea is excellent! A couple should go as John & Kate plus 8 & fight during the entire party Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I'll bite. Would you consider dressing like that if you knew someone who lost a loved one in those towers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Michelle and I have done Charlie and Squeaky before, but that was back when I had a lot of hair. This year, I'm thinking I'll be the Rajun' Cajun and she can be Mary Matalin. We'll just annoy the fuck out of everyone with political diatribes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Who has some kid-friendly costume ideas? We've already done "Movie Theatre Floor" (Smashed drink cup and movie-sized empty candy boxes glued to black sweats and headband, also popcorn attached everywhere including hair) and "Kid Without Health Care" (homemade crutch, various poorly-healing and not-so-well-dressed wounds, arm in a homemade sling, strange colorful rash on face that would easily be cured with a $5 tube of ointment, if the child had health coverage...but costs $350 without...you get the idea!) Need something original! Ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Better yet, you go as Roman Polanski and your friend as the 13 year old girl? Or Pappa John and Michelle Phillips? Boundries dude...you need boundries. You should have been at the outdoor Halloween party in which we all dressed as porn stars, and then projected Deep Throat onto the side of my friend’s neighbor’s 3 story colonial, unbeknownst to his neighbor - it was pretty fucking epic. Or the other time, in which his house was split into three zones, heaven, purgatory, and hell. When you arrived, someone dressed as god determined where your character belonged (the theme was historical figures), and you were then assigned to that floor, and you weren’t allowed to leave - but then later in evening, after recruiting the folks in purgatory. those of us relegated to hell decided to stage a raid on heaven, the resulting battle was nothing short of biblical. I have firm boundries, but I also have a dark, pretty much black sense of humor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Need something original! Ideas? I remember your "Kid Without Health Care!" It was a great one! I printed the pic off and showed it to one of my college profs who had been talking a lot about health care that semester. He loved it. I've got no advice on what to do for this year. I'm sure you'll come up with something awesome though and I hope you post it when you do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 This year Alissa has decided she just wants to be a ghost, so I guess that's that. Fortunately we have a cool ghost costume I made years ago, with lots of rattle-y chains attached and a scary face outlined in glow-in-the-dark fabric paint. I rubbed that onto the chains, too, so it's pretty neato in full darkness! What's up for Mila's costume? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smokestack Joe Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Iron Chef - wearing a chef's coat while holding an iron. Serial Killer - dressed in black with a bunch of mini cereal boxes stapled to clothing while holding a non-threatening plastic knife. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 The trendy Halloween costume this year is "guy with swine flu." Just wear one of those medical masks around and fake cough. And if you go with my "interrupting Kanye" idea too, you can be "Interrupting Swine Flu Kanye" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
