I found my gorilla hands too. So I got some bananas and went down to the bar. This used to be a lot more fun, these days you just can’t walk into any old place with a gorilla head on carrying something that looks like a yellow gun.
Hey, all. I don’t log on much these days, but I thought the Dope might appreciate this:
I had planned to have a costume for taking the boys out trick-or-treating, but with one thing and another, I just couldn’t get it together. Then, at the very last minute, literally on my way to pick up the older kiddo from school, inspiration struck. I stopped to pick up a magazine at the grocery store, and I already had the clothes and duct tape, and I was set. When anyone asked what my costume was, I said, “Well, I had a great costume planned, but I ran out of time…”
And I got tons of groans and laughs and it was awesome. But the best part was the one guy who asked me, and I said my spiel and did the pose, and he chuckled, smiled, nodded. And then, he added sympathetically, “Yes, it’s hard.”
For a fraction of a second, I considered trying to explain, and then, just smiled and wished him a Happy Halloween.
I laughed, groaned, then laughed again.
I was at a brewery last night. Someone mentioned the fact that I wasn’t in costume and I told her, “I’m not religious, nor am I spiritual”. I said it with an earnest tone and she looked for a moment like she was gonna cry (I think she’d over consumed).
My favorite “ran out of time” costume in recent years: I found a box of “Hello, My Name Is” stickers in my car that I had bought for a work thing. I wrote my infant son’s name on one, put it on my shirt and went as my son in 34 years.
I teach at a uniform school. So I wore my khaki skirt and a navy blue polo shirt, just like the girls wear most days.
I would have loved to wear one of my Renaissance gowns, but I need to be tied into it, and I wouldn’t want to drive all laced up. I have lunch duty, and I won’t wear a dry-clean-only costume in the cafeteria.
I would love to get a costume of DJT wearing a diaper like in the London balloon. Scariest creature imaginable. But I am not going out that night (or any other).
I’m not going to “be” anything but I bought a black t-shirt that has a black cat face with glory eyes. I will wear that with my kitty cat deally bobs headband.
I’m going to masquerade as Not Home. With the lights out and the blinds drawn, they’ll leave me alone.
‘Grumpy Old Man’ was a last minute costume standby at our house: old man mask, bathrobe, and rolled up newspaper to swat at people.
Welp, it’s October 2021 and time to bump this bad boy back into conversation! Any ideas for your Halloween costume this year? I took last year off due to COVID, but my last two before that were a Ghostbuster and Eleven from Stranger Things Season 1. Not sure yet what this year will bring, so inspire me, people!
Same this year, unless we’re on the road. We’ll be returning from a visit to my inlaws in Florida either on Halloween or the day before. Kinda depends on how crazy they make us.
My wife, Pepper Mill, came up with the idea of us going as Devils.
She’ll put on a hairband with horns and a blue dress and be a Devil With A Blue Dress On.
I’ll spirit gum horns onto my forehead and pointed ears on, and add a crepe hair goatee and add a pair of “Beagle Puss” Groucho glasses. I’ll be a Devil in Disguise
Besotted
I’m going to impersonate someone who is not home.
An invalid.
I have the costume in my closet.
I have implants, I’d love to be Seven of Nine*. Don’t think I have the bod or the looks for that🤯
*She’s a Borg on Star Trek Voyager.
My heart is broken.
I’ll be dressing as Ric Flair this year. I have a blond wig, a sequined robe, a replica WCW World Heavyweight Championship belt (which I’ve had for several years and is easily the most expensive part of the costume), and a face mask that says “WOOOO!”
These are great Cal. Gave an idea. Pin a schematic to your chest and you could be ‘The devil is in the details’.
Last year, I went to bed early; luckily I got read a bedtime story
This year, I think I’m going to be a train conductor. All aboard!!!
Poop. My grand daughter is expecting her first in November and decided to have a combination Halloween and baby shower. I have on a couple occasions so far made her husband come close to gagging when I described changing a poopy diaper. So I am going as poop (poop emoji hat, brown face mask and sweatshirt) and my wife is going as a diaper (white sweatshirt with diapers attached). Our surprise is the Tootsie Roll turds in the diapers, pull one out and have a snack.
This year I’m playing the not at home game. But if I was going to a work party - which is usually my chance to dress up - I’d choose to be a tube man - you know, those floppy things dancing in front of car dealers? Yeah, I could have fun with that. My last costume I did was a pirate wench. ARR! That was fun too.
