I am torn between going as a female nerd ( based on some SPECTACULAR vintage RX 50’s glasses I got at work that I just have to tap out the lenses for.) or possibly dressing as one of my co-workers, who dresses ecletic 70’s/ pimpish.
I had no idea what this means or who it is, so I checked the link… and I still don’t.
I got a TNG-era uniform a month or 2 ago that’s patiently waiting in my closet.
I know two women promising to wear normal clothes, a mask and an iPad around their necks.
They promise to have iPhoto albums on the iPads that will allow people to play a game they invented called “Match the Boobies”.
He’s a character from the old Nickelodeon show “The Adventures of Pete and Pete.”
My kids were invited to a Halloween party next weekend, and I just found out that the adults are expected to be in costume as well. Help me out with ideas. Here’s the tricky part: I have a beard, so clean-shaven characters are out.
Correct. And since I’m in my 20’s, and will be partying with a lot of other people in their 20’s, they would all recognize and love it.
I’ve got a **great **one for you, Skammer. My husband used to work with a big, hairy guy (not making any judgments here on you, but you did admit to the beard) who dressed as a fairy. Pink, fluffy tutu, wings, and a wand. He wasn’t just a fairy, he was an effin’ fairy. This works best if you can pull off the MANLY MAN persona. No explanation needed, but if anyone asks who you are, you tell 'em you’re an effin’ fairy.
In that case - you should go as the AgroCrag.
If you’re a larger type, you could go as Sailor Bubba. 
Or, more realistically, get a red plaid flannel shirt and a couple of power tools and go as Al Borland from Home Improvement 
How about a sooty jumpsuit, a hardhat, and Oakley sunglasses? You could be very recognizable as a Chilean Miner.
Ha, a delicious idea.
In that vein, there are several websites that sell the t-shirts they wore on Guts, Legend of the Human Temple, Double Dare, etc…
One of those soft fisherman’s hats would work. I was HST for Halloween a couple of years ago, and except for the Wild Turkey, you described my costume to a t. I ran into another HST somewhere around Union Square, which was cool because I got to do the “My god, there I am!” line from the Fear and Loathing movie.
I was Salvador Dali last Halloween but I haven’t decided on anything this year. My mom suggested Toulouse Lautrec, which sounds funny. I’m waiting for inspiration to strike.
I live in Toledo…I’m thinking about putting on an SS uniform with a Rich Iott yard sign hanging around my neck. Here’s how popular he is around here: the CONSERVATIVE weekly paper had a column calling for him to quit his Congressional race which led off with the following joke…
Did you hear Rich Iott got thrown out of the Valentine Theater last night? They were doing “The Diary of Anne Frank” and he kept yelling “She’s in the attic!”
Have an untucked red cape hanging down from under your jacket.
You forgot the black nametag that says Elder Hampshire. And an accomplice. Missionaries never travel alone, always in pairs. The backpack should be leather if you can manage it.
I’m going as a zombie hunter this year. I need to start finding appropriate apparel and props.
I know a guy who wore a dark suit with the shirt unbuttoned and a Superman t-shirt underneath, fedora and glasses. The kicker was he rolled around the Halloween party in a wheelchair he borrowed from a theatre prop shop.
A little too dark, maybe.
I just laughed water through my nose. I love it my only problem is that my town is on the side of a mountain and I don’t want to have to deal with hills in a wheel chair.
This might work I’m going to have to find a child sized cape so it barely pokes out.
My company has an extra day of vacation time as the first prize for this year’s Halloween costume competition. Anyone have any brilliant, work-appropriate, and relatively easy ideas?

Someone dressed as Hunter S. Thompson at a party I went to last year. I was the only one in the group I was talking to who had any idea who he was supposed to be. Some people got it after I told them but only because they had watched Fear and Loathing awhile back.
