Let's get a collection going for those going to parties in a couple of weeks. I'm trying to keep mine pretty low budget. Here's what I'm considering so far:
Roy - Dress like a gay magician, strap a giant stuffed white tiger to my neck.
Catholic priest - Get a priest outfit, strap a small child dummy to my crotch.
Dirty Sanchez - Cover myself in dirt and grime, and wear a sign around my neck that says, "Sanchez"
Picasso's blue period - paint myself blue and attach tampons all over... but I think that will go over too many heads. |

how about THE MAN WHO'S PANTS WERE TOO HIGH
Just get some pants that go right up to your neck. Then run around constantly screaming, "MY PANTS ARE TOO HIGH!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!! MY PANTS ARE TOO HIGH!!!!" |

I still think Christina Ricci's idea from the Addams Family movie is still the best. First, just dress as you normally would and when asked what you are dressed as answer, "A SERIAL KILLER, they just look like everybody else." |

I might dress up as django and use this clay to deform my hand. I am playing that night too so Im gonna rubberband my fingers together and grease up my hair with some daper dan. haha my friend dressed up as a priest one year and took one of those child manicans of a child leaning against a wall (like for hde and seek, you've seen them) he attached the kid to his frontal area...it was funny as shit. |

I am going to dress up as Inspector Cluseo.
I was actualy "Jebus" for halloween 2 year ago . . . and went trick or treating! What I did was got a monk robe from my mom when she dressed up as a monk. She and her friends were going to a bar called Monk's Retreat, and randomly got these monk robes and went like that. Then I cut out a cardboard J, covered it in silver ducktape, and hung it around my neck. I had my really long hair then and my beard at the time. I then took a book, made a black cover for it, and made a cross with eyes and feet, and called it the Bibbel. When I'd go to the house, I pretend I am selling it and open it up to quote it, and I just came up with the most random things like, "and the cat said 'Yay' because he liked he canned food, and the lord came down and gave us all ice cream sundaes, all thanks to bill." I offended no one, actualy everyone loved it.
If you don't get where I got Jebus from, an episode of the Simpsons where Homer is running from PBS he sent off as a missionary, and says, "I don't even believe in Jebus . . . oh help me Jebus . . . Hello? Home to Jebus".
Also, seeing you are a Tim fan, do this: wear a sleeveless black shirt. Then get a guitar, and wear an alien mask. |

this year, the options for me are: darth sidious, the gunslinger, or if i can figure out how to do it, sephiroth. i can do the wig for that, as well as the shoulder. . .things. i don't know how i can do one black angel wing, though.
gunslinger is easy. i have everything clothing-wise already. and i could just not shave for a couple days. i don't, however, have the guns, gunbelt, or bullet holder things. i can get the guns easily enough, i wot.
sidious would just be a black robe with a hood, and maybe some kind of scary droopy faced mask. and a red lightsaber. |

I'm going to modify this one this year...I'm going to wear a suit and tie, and a big GOP elephant pin on my lapel. I may also carry a big bag with a dollar sign on it as well.
I'm going to be a Republican! |

I have in fact heard of the first book, my father read it when it came out and I was really struck by the idea of it. I've always been a big fan of alternate history, particularly Harrison's "The Hammer and the Cross".
I hadn't heard about a sequel involving TR. I may very well have to pick those books up.
TR works out to be great intials. It's gotten to be a problem when I am speaking to people who know me well, they always have to clarify, and they'll ask me, "Wait, Tim Reynolds or Theodore Roosevelt?" |

Arthen,
Is there any chance you've read a book called "How Few Remain"? It's the sequel to an alternate history book called "Guns of the South" by Harry Turtledove. The original involves time-travelling racists who supply AK-47s to General Lee and his troops so they can win the Civil War.
The sequel, which deletes any references to modern weapons, imagines the activities of a few famous Americans 20 years after the defeat of the Union Army. The disgraced (and not assassinated) Abraham Lincoln crisscrosses the nation championing socialist ideals. Confederate cavalry leader Jeb Stuart seeks to prevent wholesale slaughter in the desert Southwest, while cocky young Theodore Roosevelt and stodgy George Custer bicker over modern weapons--even as they try to drive the British back into western Canada.
Since you're a big fan of Teddy Roosevelt, I thought it might interest you.
teri :)

My best friend's dad would make her and her brother's costume... Every year they would win... She also had a very time consuming mermaid costume... but the all time best was when she was a box of popcorn... her father collaborated a red and white box and glued popcorn all over the top of it... insane costume... i think we were in 3rd grade... the younger kids were pulling the popcorn off and eating it... point is... home made costumes are the best! Good luck with the mac'n'cheese... perhaps this year she's old enough to help 
She is SOOOOOO helping me this year. Its kind of sad though, it will probably be the last costume I have to make; she is an only child and she will soon be 13. (Of course, I can always butt in like all other parents of teenagers) I can't remember but I think I was 13 the last time I trick-or-treated. How old is too old for the kids? What about the 6 foot tall 11-year old? I bet he gets some dirty looks as he stuffs his giant fist into the candy bucket with all the 5-year olds. |

I've been tempted to go to halloween as a headache.
All I'd have to buy is an Air Horn.
When someone asks me what I am I blast the horn in their face. "I'm a headache"
...that's pretty curel actually, but I still think it would be funny...Until I get punched out |

only if they pronounce their names right. someone who says he's dressed up as "aragon" "gandoff" or "theeodin" gets a normal amount of candy. |

Do you give double helpings of candy to kids dressed up like characters from Lord of the Rings? |

I work at Domino's, and they make all of their employees work Halloween night  So, I bought this awesome costume that I plan to wear to Domino's that night; a slice of pizza. It just slips on like a dress or something, and you turn into a slice of pepperoni and black olive pizza. My boss never said we could dress up, but I think I should  |

This frosh week I actually saw those guys. They came out of the blue to film this girl who had removed her shirt.
It was pretty sweet to see this girl going nuts on the street, but as soon as the wild girls guys came i started thinking "uh oh, now I'm one of the perv dudes in the background of this girls moment"
That's pretty funny. One of my favorite Chapelle's Show skits was when he had a spoof girls gone wild video. When he showed the scenes, instead of the boobies being censored by a box saying "GGW" one of them said "I Hate You Dad" |

Arthen you really love Roosevelt too. I guess I shouldn't say how much of an ass I think he was... oops to late. No J/K he was ok but you really do like the guy I guess I just didn't realize it till now even though you've said so in the past. |

i have that guitar.
making fun of catholic priests has been done to death. let it go. we get it. catholic priests sometimes have sex with boys.
1. dress up as jesus christ. i've never seen anyone do that yet. what's going on here?
2. raistlin majere. black robe with a hood, golden face paint, some pouches and a bloodstone pendant. any pendant, really. the eyes aren't possible, since they don't make hourglass contacts with golden irises.
3. a hideous slipknot and their fans. this is what i'm doing. go to hot topic and buy some stuff. i don't know. some shirts and braclets. take a paper plate and make a mask out of it. color something ridiculous on it and wear it. the ladies love it. probably. i hope. no.
4. link. green tunic, green hat, brown boots. simple, effective.
5. an ancient greek. toga. call yourself the "the great testicles" |
