Question of the Day

From MacCrocodile:

Since we haven’t seen the Question of the Day yet, might I suggest the obvious: Did you dress up for Halloween? Mostly I’m just frustrated that nobody at work has noticed my costume–probably because I went to subtle–and I want to tell strangers on the internet about it.

    Why what an interesting fellow this MacCrocodile must be.

    As for me, I photoshopped my ID badge at work to have this picture, and changed the name accordingly.

  2. FlamingAtheist,

    I have a pair of latex devil horns glued to my head. Nothing else as far as costume, just the subtle devices. Fun to see double-takes as I sit in my office.

  4. pvc,

    No need to, my au naturel appearance scares small children and animals quite effectively.

  5. Dale,

    I wore the same thing I wore yesterday. So, I guess you could say I dressed as someone from the past.

  6. mrclam,

    I went as Green Lantern. This power ring is making my hand all sweaty, though, and I can’t wait to take it off.

  8. ange,

    Im too tired to dress up today. But since I was doing stage work saturday night (halloween party) I dressed up like a bitchy sound engineer.

    The best costume I saw was a group of 10-ish people all dressed up like waiters with headshots. They were out of work actors/actresses.

  9. Paulo,

    I have not shaved on a monday for the first time in years; I call it “casual friday”. Nobody noticed.

  10. McGee,

    I haven’t dressed up in at least ten years. Haven’t been to a Halloween party….uh, ever.

    When the kids are trick-or-treating tonight, I’ll be out running or lifting weights.

  12. zz,

    I went as zombie prom king and got all zombied up with a ripped shirt/ pants, fake blood, dead guy facepaint, dead rose (my girlfriend had a matching dead corsage). I had a lot of fun!

  13. Mark,

    I had my orangey plaid collar showing up through my black sweater. I did bring a guacamole pumpkin puking to the office luncheon.

  14. I wanted to resurrect my Amy Winehouse zombie costume, but I just had a baby and my bloody dress doesn’t fit so well anymore.

    Instead I’ll be sitting outside with a witch hat, my grad robes, candy and a garden hose. Damn teenagers with their body glitter and plastic fangs, better stay the fuck off my azaleas.

  16. Barbwire,

    I’m made up as a witch, wearing all black and long, dangling skeleton earrings. Tonight I’ll add a cape and a witch hat. Halloween is one of my family’s favorite holidays–everybody dresses up with homemade costumes.

  17. Wendall,

    I went to work as Firefox. Being an SF Giants fan, I have a lot of orange clothing. In addition to wearing orange from shirt down to shoes, I wore fuzzy orange ears and a tail and carried around a big inflatable globe all day. My fellow librarian was Internet Explorer and our tech aides were Chrome and Safari.

  18. Frankly,

    I decided to go to work as someone different today – I went as someone that gave a shit. Costume fell aprt after about an hour

  19. Ninabi,

    I didn’t but wish I had.

    Kids in costume are enjoying my haunted courtyard, though. Have all the crap- rocks that shout out warnings, skeletons that shake and shiver in the tree, etc.

  20. Rampage_Rick,

    My costume was a “recently unemployed person” The best part was I didn’t even need a costume as my employment was terminated as of today… Or, I could also say I was going as a serial killer (because they look like everybody else)

    I do still have my wicked costume from 2 years ago: Javier Bardem from No Country for Old Men. Black pants and shirt, vest, wig, plus I carry around a small CO2 tank with a short hose and air ratchet. Didn’t feel like making the effort this year…

    I’m planning on cheering myself up shortly by blowing shit up. Bought some illegal fireworks on the way home.

  21. Okay Chris, I’ll bite… What did you dress up as?

  22. Stephen,

    I didn’t dress up, but I was wearing an eye-patch, due to the fact I had an eye infection. People wondered what the hell I was, some said Snake Plisskin, I went along with that

  23. I had at least 3 votes in our work contest for scariest costume.
    What was I….Jesus. A damn convincing one if I may say so myself.

  26. I went as the 10th Doctor. Not a single person got it. It was a warm, fairly comfortable costume though, and that’s always a plus.

  27. Venture Free,

    I have a futuristic costume (okay, its some old clothes that I painted silver) that I plan on wearing next Monday, at which time I will be a time traveller who missed his mark.

  28. Mara,

    I went as a plague doctor. I made a mask and a hat and everything- it was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.
    (only one person got it. sigh.)

  29. gruggach,

    I dressed in lederhosen with a beer stein in hand. Because Bavarians are costumes, not a culture. And this is OK.
