OT: Halloween Costumes

Sitting in the office in my costume today is making me wonder... what costumes are being worn by the creative folks of McCoven?
Personally, I went back to my childhood for inspiration - all the way back to the '90's (LOL young) - and decided to be the greatest super-hero of all time... Quail-Man!
I had to make the sweater-vest out of a green t-shirt (because they are surprisingly hard to find) but it was totally worth the time and needle pricks. I won the office costume contest and have had an overwhelming number of people staring at my crotch today.
For those that don't understand Quail-Man, LOL old! and a youtube video of an old Doug episode.

I’m supposed to be a Ghostbuster, but sadly the outfit part doesn’t look like it’ll arrive in time for me to wear it for tomorrow. I’ll probably put something together similar to this outfit.
I usually put the bare minimum amount of offert into my costumes, but this year, I went all out. I spent the entire weekend making a proton pack out of cardboard and bits of junk lying around the house.

I'm going as Victor Creed/Sabertooth
I am going to do the facial hair after work, and since that makes the costume, I don’t have a photo at the moment. I was able to score an awesome trenchcoat, and will be wearing my grandfather’s dog tags, plus some cheap fake fangs and claws.
For those of you who follow this or care, I’m going as the Liev Schrieber version.
My wife, incidentally, is going as a “peak bagger”, i.e. a trail runner who bags peaks. She’ll have her hiking poles and little paper bags clipped to her north face jacket, each with information on the various peaks she’s bagged. She’ll be wearing her “I made it to the top” shirt. She wouldn’t mind me saying this: definitely the dorkiest costume around!

but it was pretty cool, i had the mask and an empty oxyclean container. one of my teachers thought it was disrespectful and i muttered “i don’t care” and i got detention. but then my principal walked by and thought it was hilarious and said i didn’t have detention. rare principal FTW

Well I’m dressing up today at work when i go in, as a basic kind of 70’s Led Zeppelin follower. Got jeans, tight shirt, and a headband I’m wearing. Had to make the headband last night, or at least my girlfriend had to make it. Now she says she’s going to teach me how to sew and I’m not sure about that. I’ll post some pictures after tonight.

Learning how to sew; at least the basics not only makes you more self sufficient, but it takes some stress off of your girlfriend. It might even earn you brownie points if you can sew a button back on a blouse for her when she’s late for work (just make sure you use the same color thread as is used for all the other buttons!).
Everybody oughta know how to reattach a button and how to quickly fix a fallen hem.
This is what i tell my husband. I figure that after i’m gone and he remarries within two months of my demise, his next wife will thank me.

Well, who knows for sure because no one is doing the Rapid FluA test anymore, let alone the H1N1 PCR, but I’ve got the symptoms and there’s no seasonal flu out yet. So yeah. It’s awesome. Today’s surprise is that I can’t hear out of my right hear.

The best part is that we were all required to get the seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccines just to continue going to clinic. I got the vaccine a week and a half ago, on a Wednesday. The vaccine takes 2-4 weeks to work. I got sick last Saturday.

I had an idea for an Omar Vizquel costume. I could wear my Giants jersey, some very tight pants with a sock stuffed in the front, cover my glove with gold tinfoil, and get a plushy kangaroo or other similar marsupial to carry around in a backpack with me.
Instead I am a referee this year. It’s a recycled costume from a few years ago that cost exactly zero dollars out of my current funds. As I am facing the distinct possibility of not having enough money to pay for my housing next semester, zero dollars is good.

the teachers at the school where I work all do a theme every year
or at least most of us. This year it was a medieval court – the principal was the queen, a bunch of us were knights, there were some ladies of the court, and a jester. Pics to come later.
A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.
the school i work at has a theme too...

Our new administration is so clueless the principal runs around chasing his tail, the assistant principal [they don’t call them VICE principals anymore] chases her tail in the opposite direction and contradicts whatever the principal says. Almost all the support staff is clinging to ledge ready to jump, and the teachers either have brown noses or are too close to retirement to care what either administrator says since they’ve been teaching for so long they could pretty much run the school on their own anyways.
