…you were required to come dressed as your username, what would your costume look like? I would dress as a delicate, sparkly butterfly carrying a mace (the spiked ball on the end of a chain attached to a baton…not an aerosol can full of an eye-stinging substance) and laden with straps of huge bullets criss-crossing my torso. ---

I have fat cheeks so I’d colour them red and wear a long touque on my head that was stuffed so it would stick up to resemble the stem. ---

I’d have to have a nasty spill, sans leathers, from the motorcycle going at savagely high speeds. Good thing I always wear my leathers. ---

I guess a catsuit with cat makeup and a Columbus Cottonmouths jersey. If I’m gonna wear a catsuit I’ve **got** to go on a diet. ---

Hmmm…I would have to arrive clad in a robe, drunk, on an ass. Just another Saturday night. 😃 ---

Nice jeans/slacks, a button down t-shirt, and a hat. I can’t really describe the look, but I guess the “John Mayer/Jason Mraz” type of look. ---

> [@RandMcnally](#): > > Nice jeans/slacks, a button down t-shirt, and a hat. I can’t really describe the look, but I guess the “John Mayer/Jason Mraz” type of look. Now I figured you’d come dressed as a hard-bound book of some sort. ---

What exactly is a button down t-shirt anyway? ---

Dressed in Renaissance garb, drinking a Bud and eating a Big Mac. ---

A straightjacket, for the purpose of irony. ---

I’d dress the way I usually do, but my nametag would be inaccurate. ---

I suppose I’d have to become a swarming mass of electrons or something. That would probably be pretty difficult to do, so I’d just stay home. ---

> [@cruel butterfly](#): > > What exactly is a button down t-shirt anyway? It’s a shirt that you wear when you’re not paying attention to what you’re typing. I meant a button down shirt. I got my username from a Jason Mraz song, and I’m not to clever. ---

Let’s see, there would obviously have to be feathers, but the lou part - wait, I’ve got it - an outfit covered in feathers and toilet seat around my neck. ---
