Halloween Round-Up 2011 ( Now With Bonus Homophobia~ )

[Buglady]

Don't these people know their supposed to at least wear a cup or something under that spandex?

Not a cup (dear God, that would be horrifying) - but there is a specialized undergarment called a Dance Band that helps, um, offset the whole Spandex thing.

I happen to know this because a friend of mine who works in theatre made a joke about it once, and I looked it up (Wikipedia's pretty safe).

[dalesys]

Get in line. Short girls are SEXY!

Especially if they can keep a full stein balanced on their head.










Timmy, don't stare at that funny-walking man. He has Steinups disease.

Let Me Just Stop You Right There

Me: “And your name please?”
SC: “Who?”

WARNING: pro wrestling joke.

Your Mind Is Blown

SC: “I got one of those little things from somebody.”

One of those little things, you say? Do tell.


SC: “It has a code on it.”

Does it now?


SC: “Can I bring a guest with me? It doesn’t work if you have a partner and you go do something that like by yourself, changes your mentality level. Like higher thinking and perceiving things, and like fitting your own definition of things then trying to explain that to someone else. Because you're no longer on the same plane of understanding.”

On totally, man. I’m right there with you. You’ve gotta like, open your mind man but that makes it harder to talk to people with closed minds. People who don’t like, accept the wavelengths of ideas outside of their own selfish egos man.

On a side note, you know you're trying to register for a seminar on real estate marketing, right?

SC: “Do you know if anyone has had, like, their consciousness shifted after this?”

….Ok seriously, what kind of seminar to you think this is, exactly? Because I think you're setting yourself up for quite a bit of dissappointment.

Reminded me of an old Gary Larsen cartoon... "Double Your IQ or NO MONEY BACK!"

Who You Gonna Call?

Let me see if I have this straight: You came home and found a strange man passed out in your suite. You’ve never seen him before. You’re not even sure if he lives in the building. He’s likely drunk off his arse and he has peed all over your carpet. Yet you still insist that this is a job for maintenance as opposed to, you know, the police. Now you’re demanding that maintenance drive over there and remove him from your suite. Because if there’s anything maintenance handles, its apprehending B&E suspects?

Right, got it.

Damnit... That rug really tied the room together.

[Syriilord]

Sexy Pikachu

That’s…..not right. How did you look at poor little Pikachu and go “You know what that needs? Fishnets.”. Also, enjoy a lovely evening full of drunken assholes making "Gotta catch em all" jokes. -.-

Ironically enough, my local college had its annual masquerade ball last Thursday and among the various costumes parading past me all night were a slutty Pikachu accompanied by a (more than usual) slutty Misty.

Now I don't know about you, but my inner Pokénerd was screaming "Why would a Pokémon trainer who's main focus is water types be hanging around with an electric type?"

Yeah, yeah. I know. Back in my box.

[RealUnimportant]

Oh I feel blessed... Due to a week off work, I've just been privileged to read two "new" (to me) GK threads in one day.

I love the costume descriptions, and shall have to look for earlier instalments from previous years now!

[Jay 2K Winger]

WARNING: pro wrestling joke.

I...

Should I be proud or ashamed that I get this reference?

Given the nature of The Client, I wasn't expecting to see people dressed up at work. But there were. Some were your basic "Token Effort" costumes (devil horns, fairy wings, etc.), but others...

I saw a witch while going to the cafeteria for lunch, one of my coworkers was wearing a bumblebee costume (and given he's a little hefty, we all immediately dubbed him "Bumblebee Man from the Simpsons" ("Ay, no es bueno!")), and someone was dressed as Moses. Long white hair, beard, robe, staff, and tablet of the Ten Commandments.

[Geek King]

An acquaintance of mine was at my bar discussing the four options he was considering for a costume. All of them were superheroes. I recognized exactly none of them. His problem, really, was that he was determined to go as a black superhero, since he is, well, black. Either there are no really well-known black superheroes, or the neighborhoods I grew up in had comic book stores that strictly segregated their proffered literature.

Off the top of my head,

Luke Cage (Power Man)
Misty Knight
The Black Panther
at least one of the Green Lanterns
Black Lightning
Cyborg
Bumblebee
Spawn (well, before he died and came back from Hell skinless/badly burnt)
Bishop
G. W. Bridge
Storm
One of the Zetramen (power ranger wanabes from a parody comic of the same name)

and Nick Fury in the movies.

...and I just kind of lurk around the edges of comic fandom. I'm sure there are more that I don't know, or I'm not thinking of right now.

[CrazedClerkthe2nd]

Should I be proud or ashamed that I get this reference?

That's a good question. It certainly wasn't one of Jim Neidhart's finer hours.


Bat Girl, Bat Girl and…..Bat Girl?

Well, that must have been awkward when you met up tonight.

Batman likes freaky sex?

[XCashier]

The Misfits

+1 Point for this trio who had accurately guised themselves as the Misfits from Jem and the Holograms.

Did they look like these ladies?

You should take a digital camera around next Halloween and post the pics! Love your descriptions.

[Spork4pedro]

At one party this weekend The Boy and I got to see the Sesame Trio plus Rosie. There was Slutty Elmo, Slutty Big Bird, and Slutty Cookie Monster (who to her credit brought some delicious cookies!) and then a slutty Rosie from the Jetsons.

[Gravekeeper]

Did they look like these ladies?

Pssh, they can't be the Misfits without the idiotic face paint. Er...I mean, they seem to be missing something but I never watched the show enough to know what that something is. >.>

slutty Rosie from the Jetsons.

Part of me wants to know how the Hell you accomplish that, the other part could die content that it never, ever knew.

[Andara Bledin]

Well.... Rosie is essentially topless... >_>

^-.-^

[Jay 2K Winger]

I did see a few teenagers this year who clearly didn't even bother trying apart from "token efforts." And then there was the guy dressed as Ledger!Joker, who HAD to bust out the line:

Him: "WHY SO SERIOUS?!"
J2K: T_T "..."
His Friend: "...why so serious?"
J2K: T_T "..."

At which point they quietly took their candy and left. But not before:

His Other Friend: "See, he's the Joker."
J2K: "Oh, he's a joke all right."

I did see one girl dressed as a Rubik's Cube. I didn't bother to check whether she was going for a "sexy" Rubik's Cube, though.

[XCashier]

Pssh, they can't be the Misfits without the idiotic face paint. Er...I mean, they seem to be missing something but I never watched the show enough to know what that something is. >.>

I don't suppose you'd like this Doctor Who/Jem crossover story then...

[Ellain]

Where I'm from, "Zeller" refers to a mental facility.

Seems appropriate, huh?
