Wherein I Threaten Unspeakable Violence

You’re the hate glue that holds everyone else’s relationships together.

...wow. Just wow... that is brilliant! I know exactly what you mean and just never knew how to put it in words before. Hate glue... genius.

I wore a cheap frankenstein mask and carried my finch bird net around.

Only my Dad got it...Frankie and A Net...

“It’s ok to dress like a total whore because I added a $4.99 Halloween accessory”

lol you sir, take the fun out of halloween.

i dress pretty modestly throughout the year so when halloween rolls around, i break out the 4 inch heels and mini skirt. yes, i add a cheep accessory to make it a costume. this year, it was a boyfriend dressed as a vampire and some bite marks on my part. last year it was some devil horns.
i enjoy slutting it up on halloween. then again i don't go outside and i'm around people that won't attack me...doing otherwise would just be silly

Pirate Booty:

Once again, dressing like a whore and adding a $4.99 plastic pirate hook from Walmart does not a costume make. You likewise had 3 miniskirt clad companions with you who took similar routes but used a pirate hat, eye patch and pirate flag respectively. As if you all pooled your Skytrain change to buy a $15 costume and divided it up amongst yourselves. As far as I can tell your primary purpose this evening was to wander around and shake jiggly parts of yourselves at guys that cat called you. Such as the above New York Mets.

I was playing a new DS game I bought today called Nostalgia. There was a cutscene early in the game which made me thing of this post. Early on there's a cutscene involving your party and some female pirates who don't leave much to the imagination. So far not a bad game if you're into RPG's.

Brilliant as always, GK.

Regarding the slutty Halloween wear, is it really too much to ask that not EVERY SINGLE female Halloween costume have one's ...ahem...assets on display for all to see? Many of you like to wear the skanky stuff and that's fine. But I don't. And some years I'd like to be able to buy a costume instead of having to make one. Li'l Sis and I hit one of those Halloween stores and we couldn't find ANYTHING that wasn't as she calls it, "skanktastic."

Cady: [voiceover] Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.

You beat me to it.

What's next, the "adult" costumes from your local Bras and Things? (lingerie shop in Australia that has a few adult costumes, such as masseuse, police officer, devil etc.)

Can't sleep. Clown'll eat me.

I think I love you.

As for my own view on the costumes, I remember hearing somewhere that one group did zombie Disney Princesses one year for Halloween. I am so tempted to try that out!

[Wenchie]

My halloween was spent at an anime con in Dearborn, MI. So I actually got to see REALLY GOOD costumes on halloween for once. But still a couple of people as sluts with animal ears.... however, with anime you never can tell... they might have actually been cosplaying as actual anime characters. *cry*

Folks, with GK giving his usual brilliance this week, I feel the time is overdue to share with you the best way to enjoy a meal and/or a tasty beverage while reading his posts, without soiling your monitor, keyboard, or desk with said enjoyments.

1. Read portion of post.
2. Laugh your ass off.
3. When you have sufficiently recovered, turn your face away from the screen.
4. Imbibe said food and/or drink. At no time before you swallow should you even glance in the direction of the computer screen.
5. Swallow.
6. Return to reading.

In lieu of thanks or groveling, feel free to donate large sums of money to the charity of your choice. Especially if said charity benefits drunken magicians living on a tropical island. Not that I know any such characters, of course.

Cheers!

They fall into the category of “It’s ok to dress like a total whore because I added a $4.99 Halloween accessory”.

In Key West, during our Fantasy Fest festival, which lasts over a week, we see the extreme version of this. And it seems to be a contest among some (of both genders) to see how far they can go. I won't lie...with some of them, I don't mind. Some of them, on the other hand, are not exactly the age or type most people would want to see that uncovered. And many of them barely bother with a costume, just wearing as little or as risque stuff as they think they can get away with. No creativity.

However, I DO give credit to those who are creative in their sluttitivity. I remember many years back the guy that went as the Easter Bunny. Well, a skimpy version of said mythical rabbit. He had the ears, and the painted on nose and whiskers, and the gloves, and the cottontail...but really not much else but very skimpy tight shorts. Well, one other thing, that really made his costume a winner: an Easter basket attached at the waist, in front of him, with one particular Easter goody that straight girls and gay guys would have loves. Yep, he stuck his weenie through a hole in the basket, and had it laying there....and had that fake Easter grass in the basket so he could cover up his pride and joy if the local constabulary came around. Now, I am not about looking at a guy's crankshaft, but I had to give this guy credit for creativity. (And yes, I did get a photo.)

Hobonana:

I don’t think this guy was actually trying to dress up. I think someone found a passed out drunken hobo and managed to get him into a giant banana costume before shoving him out onto Granville street. He was stumbling around the entrance to the Skytrain with a bottle of whiskey steadily eroding any shreds of dignity he still possessed.

Dude. DUDE. DUDE!!! I am so dressing up as a Hobonana next year! Absofreakinglutely! Not just a drunk in a banana suit....a drunk bum in a banana suit. I LOVE IT! (Yes, I am serious!)

So apparently I'm the only one who thinks wandering around downtown on the outside of some whiskey and the inside of a banana costume sounds kind of fun.

Not at all, my friend. Not at all.

1 guy dressed as a pirate with 6 of his friends dressed as the New York Mets.

If you paid any attention to the way the Mets have played the last few seasons, including two world class collapses down the stretch, the idea of them being led by a liquor company mascot is not one bit surprising.

Captain Morgan V3:

The most authentic of the 3 I saw, as this one was in fact slugging back a bottle of rum.

Freakin....classic! Dude knows what pirating is all about.

Barney the Dinosaur

Good costume. Bad choice of character. I’m not sure you want to be wandering the city after dark dressed as a character whose popularity among adults is due exclusively to an overwhelming desire to inflict physical violence upon him.

Perhaps not a wise choice. And perhaps the guy was a nice enough fellow. But how many people here can honestly say they would actually mind seeing that inevitable beat down?

Myself, I would be selling tickets, popcorn, and beer!

We have customers in here in Burquas who have moustaches AND deep voices.

I'm sorry, but there ARE women with deep voices and moustaches.

Remember kids, there are some women where a burqa makes complete sense!

UHaul paints the sides of their vans with locations that they have outlets, I believe. What is painted on the side is pretty much never where the van in question is actually stationed.

And you will see a disproportionate amount with license plates from Arizona, for the very simple (and often forgotten) reason that U-Haul is based in Zona.

I LOVE good bad costumes. And that is a good bad costume.

Some others I have seen in years past:

--a guy dressed all in black, looking very GQ-like, with lots of naked Barbie dolls attached to him. He was a Chick Magnet.

--a guy with sheet over his head with eye holes cut out and some very odd writing all over it. "What are those?" I asked. "Probability equations," he said. "So what are you?" I queried. "I'm a Ghost of a Chance!" My all time favorite great bad costume.

--my female friend who wore wings and antennae, and attached fake fruits and vegetables all over her outfit. She was a Garden Variety Fairy.

Now THAT is absolutely brilliant.

I'll say it right now.

this thread is worthless without pics.

[Jester]

this thread is worthless without pics.

True, but I see two problems with that.

1. I don't think GK was taking pictures of the Halloweener he saw.

2. I really don't think the administration here would allow me to post a picture of the Easter Bunny costume I referenced. It is definitely NSFW.

[Caffienated_Caramel]

GK I'm beginning to question if you are, or related to the man who created Foamy the squirrel XP.

also neat costumes XD

Too bad the princesses didn't have their princes...

[Broomjockey]

GK I'm beginning to question if you are, or related to the man who created Foamy the squirrel XP.

I highly doubt it. Mr. Mathers isn't Canadian, to the best of my knowledge, nor do their first names match. Unless GK's making Foamy under a pseudonym, and doing border runs, I'd say no.

Correct. I'm not quite as far gone as Mathers.

You realize, of course, that by lumping all Utah residents into one assumed attitude and belief system, you are betraying your own firmly-believed sterotypes?

Hey, look it's a Fratching post in response to a joking quip! It stops here, folks.
