I wonder if anyone will wear an ISIS costume for Halloween this year?

Do you think anyone will show up at your door on Halloween wearing an ISIS costume.

If so what would your treat them with?

I would think you could tell the difference between a Syrian/Iraq warrior costume and the Egyptian goddess of magic and motherhood.

I used to watch that show. Hotter than WonderWoman.

My standard trick-or-treat practice is they get one piece each for (a) saying “Trick or Treat”, (b) wearing a costume, and © wearing an AWESOME costume. So, two pieces, if they say “Trick or Treat.”

Teenaged boys taking their younger siblings out for ToT looked a bit annoyed because they only got one piece while their kid sister in the Princess Mononoke costume got 3.

And, more seriously in the tone of the OP, army surplus jacket & a knit cap are actually kind of the norm for teenagers around here in October (my default understanding is that their ‘costume’ is ‘war veteran’, which is why they get one piece), so unless they were wearing a fake beard or an ammo belt, I wouldn’t even recognize it as an ISIS costume. However, adding all that would get them more candy.

I’d know an Egyptian Goddess Isis costume by the killer wings.

Highly doubtful. This isn’t a neighborhood where people dress as any kind of combatant except storm troopers.

I might wear my ISIS shirt next Halloween, not like it’s getting worn much now :frowning:

Sad how they can ruin a perfectly good acronym. I remember a specification for the “Aircraft Information Distribution System” written around 1984. Bad acronym timing!

Back to ISIS: I used to work in the “Intermediate System to Intermediate System” protocol, but fortunately everyone usually puts a dash in that one. Well, I often didn’t bother, but I might now.

Back in 1977 at age 20 a few friends and I went to Halloween parties as terrorists. We didn’t catch any flack, but thinking back on it now, I wonder if I was being an idiot without a clue. Chances are good. I’d certainly consider it poor taste today.
