Title: You're a creative bunch and I need ideas
Post by: gpw11 on Wednesday, October 25, 2006, 07:38:43 PM
for a cheap and easy Halloween costume.  Preferably something that doesn't require makeup or a mask and isn't too bulky.  Anything?  anything at all?

I'm going to be a Mafioso or a hitman (like 47 but not bald :P), so I'll be in a suit, probably leather gloves and a hat.

I've seen cheap pirate and viking costumes that are fairly good looking and don't require a mask and aren't bulky.

JB's idea is cheaper than mine though if you've got some kind of suit.

I'm doing the Tshirt ninja thing like I have done every year for the past.. 4 years or so.  The good news is that these friends haven't seen it before, so they can't give me shit about it being unoriginal, like all of my old friends did.  Haha.

I used to do my own clown makeup for several years. Then you turn 14 and people start thinking you're a rapist.

Haha.  God idol, that's depressing.

Anyway, I intend to carry a bottle of booze and go as a drunk.  Except I probably won't go anywhere.

Oh it's a fairy tale! Sweet!

I was thinking about being an Oni this year.. It's hard to find good Japanese style horns though.

I might just be lazy and go with the 'easy' costumes.. Either Ahmadinejad or Osama.. I already have a beard, so it's just a matter of rags. :P

I don't know if GPW could take it, but it's fairly cold in Canada right now.. I couldn't go out with just a toga.. Though it is a good and resourceful idea :P

Get an afro, and a paint board, and go as Bob Ross

I'm gonna be Borat. It's actually really easy, because I have an old grey suit, and I'm getting a fake moustache and wig.

I've pretty much decided not to dress up this year.  It isn't going to be worth the effort this time.  I am however hoping I can continue my 3 year stretch of halloween hook ups though.

I just had a eureka moment. 

Kris Kross!

Now I just need someone to braid my...fuck!

Man if you are going to go as some kind of rap/hip hop artist, go as Flavor Flav and get a wall clock and just put a chain through it and wear it as a necklace, add a pimp suit and you are set.

EDIT: Oh and the crazy big sunglasses.

That's always an option if I can't find someone willing to be kris...or kross.  But really, nothing is easier than going to a used clothing store, buying some mid 90's gangsta gear and throwing it on backwards.

Why don't you just dress in a rainbow unitard and wear some wristbands and walk around all limp wristed... it wouldn't be that big of a stretch

you gay bastard

I have no input to add really, except that two years ago I was a priest who popped a woody (by squeezing a balloon thing that pushed air down into the device).  Jennie was a scantily clad nun.

Ok, how's this:

I have an old US 3rd Army Calvary jacket (Vietnam style with patches and everything) with my last name on it (was my dad's).  I also have a pair of camo pants and boots.  I've aquired a slew of fake bling, a bandanna, a plain white shirt, and a jiffy marker.

The plan is to dress up in the army gear, and maybe roll a pant leg up.  Trhow on the bling.  Finally, draw on the shirt...something like No Limit.  No Limit Soldier.  I can get drunk and shout 'Ungh...Ungh...nananana!" all night.

What do you think?
