If I don't end up being a pirate again- a few ideas I had: Trap Door, Bacon and Eggs, Ghost.
What is you be?
This year, I'm NOT going to be a pirate! :o
I'm being...
wait for it...
...
... A zombie!
... er... well okay, a zombie pirate.
I know, I know, I said I wasn't going to be a pirate, but... well... c'mon, it's a zombie pirate!
Alright, so the real reason for this is that I simply couldn't afford to put together anything better. My grilfriend was going to dress me up like Sweeney Todd, but it doesn't look like the costume will be done in time. Hence, I'm taking old pirate stuff, tearing it to shreds, and adding moss, seaweed, assorted shells, and liberal undead makeup. It's gonna be epic. Yar. Er... Brains.

Aye, Looks like the Good CaptJack does still have one of those Cursed coins that won't let him die after all and turns him into a Zombie at full moon.
Jack, you been hanging with that Monley again?
Me? Halloween, i thought about going as the Ghost of my former self but then again where is the fun of that. So next I though Pirate wench, but I'm tired oof pirates at the moment (Even though I love pirates). Hum maybe go as Rob Zombie? Nah... I don't know. Maybe I'll just go as...
I was thinking grim reaper/IRS agent outfit......was even thinking of making some forms in tripliket for people to fill out.
I have to work at the haunted house on Halloween night, so I'm not going to go all out that day for class...so I might just pop in my vampire teeth, or maybe I'll give myself a broken nose. That's always fun.
I really dig the Grim Reaper IRS agent idea, Sir Garath. That has to be one of the funniest concepts I've heard.
Well thank you captain.....was thinking also calling my scythe "The Audit" for some fun.....and had an idea for the form not only have it on 8.5 x 11 sheet but have a smaller form on 4.25x 5.5 of course its just the big sheet shrank to fit on that size with all the info hehehe.....i'm just a very sick man
All things considered I think anything concerning the economy or money is way scarier right now than zombies and vampires! The economy, or Sarah Palin....:P
THAT'S IT! I'm going to go all Mavericky and go as Sarah Palin. I'll be the Maverickist Maverick of them all.
So you going to go for the beauty pageant days or her sexy librarian look now?

Niiice... I'm going as a burlesque/ can-can girl with a Moulin Rouge twist. I know it sounds confusing, but it's very cute. ;)
I'm going to be a burlesque/Russian who just happens to live near Alaska- I'll have a hatchet in my back...

Sexy? You call her Sexy? Sheesh, such a male. I'm going for her Mavericky, Maverick look so I can be the Maverikist Maverick of them all.
OH and for you playing a drinking game
MAVERICK, MAVERICK, MAVERICK!

LOL!!!
That one nearly caused a coffee-meets-keyboard & monitor moment... :D ;D :D
Thinking some one is sexy isn't thinking they are beautiful. You know who i think is beautiful, i met her at the 07 co faire and hasn't changed since.
Now DeLaney i have one question...who will be playing the backend of the Maverick, because behind every maverick is a jackarse
Well... I was hoping I could find someone Old, who looked like a bull dog and didn't mind having it the Palin McCain ticket. And in real life, Maverick was a family name in Texas. They refused to brand their stock and let them go where ever. Hince the term Maverick
I never said anything about beautiful, but sexy she is not. Now if you said Angelina Jolie was sexy I would not argue, But Sarah Palin is as about as sexy as A Toy Poodle dressed up like a ballerina and lipstick on. And I also don't think she is THAT beautiful. Once again Angelina Jolie is beautiful outside.
OPPS that's two more drinks for saying Maverick OHHHHH :o make that 3
I just had another idea- I think I'll dress up as a mirror scene in a movie (every movie has at least one scene where someone is looking in a mirror in introspection).
I'll be the serial killer showing up in the mirror behind the person looking in the mirror.
DeLaney i agree that Angelina Jolie is Sexy might even say pretty but i would say she is far from being beautiful.

Awesome! That means we could use the third movie in the series and I drop the mirror and we end up in fragments on the ground! :D
Didn't i see that in Army of Darkness?
I usually dress for halloween in themed costumes with my mom and sister. However, we aren't having our legendary halloween party this year and so my mom won't be with us. Which leaves me and my sister. Since i've been coming to fair forever, i think i ought to get something back for all the fab costumes in the "mundane" world.... Which means this year, I'm going to wear one of my ren fair personas..... So it's either Red Bud the fairy, Red the pirate (though I did something similar a few years ago), or Red the Courtesan. I don't think my QE1 stuff would work well in a bar scene, ya know?!
Quote from: Sir Garath on October 17, 2008, 02:28:48 PM

I haven't seen that one- but I did see a movie called
Amy of Darkness, where Amy decides to leave all the lights off in her house to save energy.
There is a scene where Amy can't decide which red dress to wear, so she calls her Ren friend LadyElizabeth for suggestions.
Hahaha.... I have no idea what's going on there with that movie, but I like it!! haha
Oh! Another idea! After I drop the mirror and it breaks into pieces, each piece shows a different person from faire! Now if I can only figure out how to do this for Halloween! Maybe Sir Garath has trick photo suggestions.
Would you thus have Multi-personality-imagagy and forget who you are looking into each fragment?
"No I'm Ginger, No Hey-Aren't You? No CaptJack? No Demetrius? Hum sounds familier but no... I know I am... No I'm not that person either. Dang Who Am I? Dang it's good to be the King? Or is that queen? Oh well they're all beautiful people, I'll be each and every one of them.
I just got one question......who will break said mirror for you costume since that will give said person 7 years bad luck?
As for the trick photagrapy....all the charges where dropped so i don't know what you are talking about.
Hmm i could just dress as myself.....that seems to scare alot of people....i don't understand this since i'm such a good looking guy
I think I'm going to be a pumpkin :)
lots of black clothes, cheap ninja wepons and a mask with my pirate hat and a name tag that says "Not a Ninja"
hey, lets all swap garb and go as each other....

Be careful, Red... that only works till midnight, then you turn back into a coach and everyone will want a ride home.....
Ha ha!
Zoe! I like going as the scary Economy.......
....Now where can I get a Ben Bernanke Mask?
...And Demetrius, While wearing out that Economical manned mask I'll have the hatchet right up front buried in me bloody heart! Oh, and I.O.U. notes posted all about me person.
Or go as a two faced costume......
Freddie Mac on one side and Fanny May on the other with a realestate for sale sandwich board styled sign. "This sucker fer sale....real cheap, and gettin' cheaper by the bailouts!"
Well, since we just have a couple weeks- I've decided to go as the band KISS- the whole band... Detroit Rock City! y'all...

....anybody? Anybody?
So the lady and I went to a Halloween party last night.... with her being 9 months pregnant, the only costume that would fit was a nun.... so, of course, I had to go as Jesus.
Immaculate conception anyone? ;D ;D ;D
She should have went as Mary Magdalene
As someone whose life goal is to be an IRS auditor (sad, I know), that's not a cool Halloween costume. Not cool at all.
It's awesome.
So far, this October, I've worn the following costumes:
Undead/Cursed Jack Sparrow
Jack Sparrow on Vacation to Disneyland (it was great, excpet for having to carry buldging candy bags for 8 exhausted kids back to our hotel)
and I still have on my plate:
Jesus
Gorrilla Jesus
Raspberry Tart from Stawberry Shortcake
Will Turner
And probably Jack Sparrow again at some point. :)
I love October.....
I'm intrigued by the Gorilla Jesus.
If you just knew of some of the things that are rolling around in my head you would probably call the men in the white suits and the straight jacket.
I'm going ... and I know It is a stretch ... A Jedi
I think I will go as the Yakitori Chicken Guy at CoRF ;D

Well, I tried the Phyllis Diller look for a costume party in Houston last Friday- short dark blonde wig teased all frizzy, ankle boots, colorful sack dress, elbow-length gloves, gaudy bling and a cigarette holder, most gleaned fom various local consignment shops. I think what I arrived at was less PD and more "middle-aged drag queen", but what the hell- people's reactions were great, and guaranteed nobody else was going to be wearing it!

Actually, with the grill moved away from the wall you can reach by the grill on the side without any singeing- of either arm- as reported...

Hey now... Using "PD" and "Middle-aged drag queen" in the same sentence is going to give people the wrong idea here. ;) ((There are those here that shorten my purpledragon name to PD)). Besides, I'm sure you looked Divine (speaking of Drag Queens). ((come on now..someone has to catch THAT reference)).
Point taken, good sir! Rest assured though, that no way could anyone going to mistake you for the gawdawful look I had going that night. :D :D
How about going as a Drag King? Would that then be Shirley Muldowny or Big Don Gartlet? And since Shirley has won many Drag races would she not be a REAL Drag queen?

umm. That's Big Daddy Don Garletts.. and who could ever forget Shirley "ChaCha" Muldowney. I loved the movie about her "Hear Like A Wheel".

Thanks for reminding me about the seaweed! I'm going as the same this weekend at TRF. I work in a sword booth, so I made the guys promise to behave themselves (they're all gamers that like to kill zombies.) I had to bribe them with my jello brain made with rum, this way they all become zombies! :P
There's a costume contest/Halloween party going on in my apartment building next week on a night that I am not working, so I think I might go. I don't really have anything planned out though, so more than likely I'll pull out the ol' festival garb. Or maybe...maybe I'll put on my vampire teeth too and go as a vampire pirate! Overkill? ;)

What I've heard thru the hamster vine is that Yakatori Demetrius guy wears hairy hares on his arms...which begs to hear the question........
How many Hares could a hairy hamster chicken yakatori guy hear if a hairy hamster chicken yakatori guy could hear Hares?
...which in turn begs the next hairy question.......
Do hares make noise that one can hear if a hare falls in the woods?

Sounds like we got another funny one... perhaps a spleenal tap is in order? If you want to see my hare down you'll have to check out MyFace.com and click on the goon link, tomorrow-then see the tipsy purpledrag-on queen who knows Zoe works with hamsters when not causing mundanes to pee their pants! ;D
Okay, this is getting bad. I came very close to spitting hot chocolate all over my computer when I read that.
(It's true though, I did make someone pee their pants on Sunday at the haunted house.)
Just to toss this out there, seems appropriate
I am going as a Shadow Guard from Star Wars (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Emperor%27s_Shadow_Guard (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Emperor%27s_Shadow_Guard))
I just recently, as in today, bought the helmet, though it be red because there are no other shadow guards in the world, at least according to everything i ahve read.
Not even the 501st has one
So my intention is to be the first.
As I am painting my $300 helmet, that i got for $100 tomorrow and working on the robes before next year.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-Emperors-Royal-Guard-Deluxe-Helmet_W0QQitemZ200258714378QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200258714378&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A3%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-Emperors-Royal-Guard-Deluxe-Helmet_W0QQitemZ200258714378QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200258714378&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A3%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318)
Its basically that, though its a Don Post original, which means its highly collectible and that it is the only liscensed versionof the helmet, though there are others out there.
Now to find someone who knows how to help me modify the helmet so it fits my head better, its a reallllly tight squeeze. But so worth it.
I'm doing up the Mad Hatter MUWAHAHAHAHA
Lady Veronica is gonna be The Queen of Hearts . . . . it is a knockout outfit. I've been in the hospital 3 times already, every time she puts it on.
