Halloween 2015!
- Thread starter Dei
- Start date
I've got two costumes: one for last night's party and one for today. Last night I went as Russell from Up. I got a cap, shorts, button-down shirt, and orange bandana. Then I clipped some camping gear to my hiking pack. To top it off, I went to a party store and got some helium balloons tied to the pack. Otherwise I'd look like an overgrown Boy Scout. I'm waiting for my friends to send me pix of that; apparently I was born to be Russell. When they asked who I was I replied, "good afternoon, my name is Russell... and I am a Wilderness Explorer in Tribe Fifty-four... Sweat Lodge Twelve... are you in need of any assistance today, sir?"
Today I'm dressing as Sheldon Cooper. I shall be incredibly condescending to my trick-or-treaters whilst handing them full-sized candy bars.
This was one of the hottest Octobers on record so it didn't feel like Halloween came until this week. Downtown Bryan has a haunted house but it seemed like nobody was going to it.
Also, I wonder when the "sexy [insert occupation here]" costume type became so popular. It seems to be a lazy cop-out for girls who forgot it was Halloween. And the tragic thing is they'll win the costume contests instead of the more original girls who spent weeks sewing their own outfits from scratch.

Popular since at least 1994
Next year, go as D.B. Cooper. Steal everyone's candy, and then jump out of an airplane.
Also, I saw this, it was pretty funny.

I understand we've been here a long time and we'll be repeating all of our conversations, but when we're repeating them from less than 2 weeks ago, we're in trouble.
Also, funny picture:

I was on my way to the grocery store around 11:30 when I noticed a LOT of chicks on the walk of shame. Nearly all of them were in the sexy whatever outfits.
This is terribly stereotypical, but why does it seem like douchebags always dress up as drug lords? Tony Montana, Walter White, and Jesse Pinkman always seem to be standbys for them. And now that Narcos on Netflix has high ratings, Pablo Escobar. I'm not saying that anyone who dresses as those people is a douchebag. What I'm saying is douchebags tend to be drawn to those characters. The guy who blares loud music with his car windows open, screams whenever he lifts weights at the gym, and reeks of Axe body spray the other 364 days of the year is almost guaranteed to dress as Tony Montana.

Since I shaved my head and beard, I'll walk around tonight's party sucking on a lollipop saying, "Who loves ya baby." Then use it as an age test to see if any women there are old enough to get the costume... ask her out.[DOUBLEPOST=1446335524,1446335457][/DOUBLEPOST]
Cool, +2 to melee weapons.
But that still counts.
Pouring rain? Check. Flood Warning? Check. Walking around for 2 hours with the kids in the rich neighborhood (along with tons of other people)? Check.

So if you say who loves you baby, and the woman says, hey that's from Animaniacs, that's good enough?
My husband decided he wanted to take my daughter out Trick or Treating this year instead of me for the first time ever. But then he said, "But she doesn't need to be out for two hours" (8:30 being about the time people start turning off their porch lights). The poor, poor fool.
Also I hate manning the door and would rather be Trick or Treating.

Hah, I used to watch kojack when I was a pre-teen[DOUBLEPOST=1446339062,1446338991][/DOUBLEPOST]so, we had 120 pieces of full-size candy, 150 pieces of mini candy, 72 neckalces, 210 dubloons, and 140 gemstones.
All of it was gone by 8:30.
So 120 kids got what they wanted, and 150+ got excited at the prospect of having found a full-size-candy house and got a let-down? You monster
We have a good number of 3-6 year olds, and most of them probably shouldn't get a full sized candy bar, so we usually give them a couple small ones instead.So 120 kids got what they wanted, and 150+ got excited at the prospect of having found a full-size-candy house and got a let-down? You monster
We got a lot of excited 8 year olds running from the house to their parents on the sidewalk going "wow! I got a full size candy bar!"
We got a lot of excited 13-15 year olds running to the house going "nice camaro!" (we were set up just inside the garage to keep the cold wind off of my fingers while I played the whistle)
We took Li'l Z door-to-door trick-or-treating for the first time this year. We started small by taking him to the townhouse development where I used to live (and my mom still does). After 20 minutes, his bag was full and he was a very happy Lightning McQueen.
My mom also surprised me with an adult Halloween treat: the official beer of New York Comic Con!
So now that Li'l Z is fast asleep, I'm spending Halloween like a true parent: sipping a beer and stealing my kid's candy.

What? No fingerless gloves? Tsk tsk.
That'll happen when you worry an entire planet bald.
