The Beau once went as the Big Bad Wolf as Grandma from Little Red Riding Hood. His girlfriend dressed as Red Riding hood.
Now he goes as the jeans and tshirt guy. I am jealous that previous girlfriends could actually motivate him and make him do stuff like that.
(Not really jealous, just mildly annoyed that his days of being fun costume dude are over)
drastic quench; but could you pee without help? I think some people under estimate this.
I won second prize at a costume party as a pillar of salt (Lot’s wife). Morton’s salt box on my head, white face paint, draped in a white sheet. I would look over my shoulder and stop moving. (I was not at a bible themed party)
Another fun biblical costume- burn holes in your clothes and have ashes on clothes and body= burnt offering.
Ha, yes. My groin was only covered in chrome spray painted denim, and I wore some black robotic-esque gloves. Although I did need a hand during a round of Edward 40 hands.
I went to a Halloween party (for grownups) one year and one of the more entertaining costumes was the young woman dressed in a white doctor’s lab coat. When you asked her what her costume was, she’d whip open the lab coat to reveal a very NSFW negligee w/ garters and fishnets, and say she’s a sex therapist. 
Six months after the hiking accident that left him mostly paralyzed from the neck down, my little brother decided to dress up as Sheikh Ahmen Yassin for Purim.
He has an interesting way of coping.
She did have the mustache! And a diamond-tipped cane. She’s one of my personal heroes.
Quirky and adorable! Awesome.
I love the picture you just created! I could almost see the huge “dojo logo” patch on the back of the Gi: “Fill In The Blank Dojo” with gigantic ornate dragons or tigers surrounding bright pastel lettering on a shiny metallic silk background with gold lame border trim.
And perhaps at the bottom in small print and quoted, “Beat at Joes”
I’ll have to ask the irl sex therapist I know what she dresses up as for halloween. I have a feeling it wasn’t the costume in the quote.
Yeah, this guy had all the earmarks of someone who was overly proud of his taekwondo training. They way he jumped into the circle and yelled “Taekwondo!” spoke volumes.
I also remember how the emcee responded with a few seconds of stunned silence, as though to say “Really, fella? That’s your amazing costume?”
FTR, I used to wear some pretty ordinary costumes to these events, and I have no problem with other people doing the same. Sometimes, that’s all that people can (or feel like) putting together. I would wear such an outfit with dignity, but I’d also be thinking “Yeah, it’s nothing special… I just dug something out of my closet.” I certainly wouldn’t be bold enough to field it as a contest entry, much less let announce myself with an enthusiastic cry of awesomeness.
I went to a party once as Charlie Brown . . . in his Halloween costume. A “bedsheet ghost” with thirteen eye holes instead of two, and a trick or treat bag with a rock in it.
Someone from these boards who hasn’t been here in a while (wish I could remember who) snapped a picture of a friend who went to a costume party dressed as Jesus Fucking Christ. The guy was dressed as Jesus, and had a blow-up doll also dressed as Jesus bent over and attached to his groin. Genius costume.
Hi, I’m a nad. Can I have some candy please?
My costumes generally involve thousands of dollars and months of preperation.
Or a toy lightsabre and a gi.
That’s not entirely fair. If I ran by that, I’d couldn’t wear ever kimono as a ‘costume’ (which is what most people think when they see me in it, but to me it’s just clothes, because, well, it’s just clothes, from another culture.) Which is why I don’t wear them out of the house very often.
Right. I’d say that if these are clothes that you would wear for some ordinary purpose, then they might conceivably qualify as a costume – but they probably wouldn’t be contest material.
