More importantly, what do you think will be the ratio of Sarah Palin to Ledger Joker costumes at your Halloween party of choice?

Or the dreaded Palin/Joker combo.

If I didn't cut my hair, I could have dressed up as Anton Chigurh.

The least you can do is mix it up a little and be a dead/zombified Ledger Joker.

I was almost going to go as the nurse, but finding scrubs to fit a 6'8 black guy turned out to be even more of a pain in the ass than one might imagine.

The problem for me with Halloween this year is that my hair's kind of long, but not long enough that I could go as somebody long-haired, like zombie Jesus, and I'm not willing to get it cut for a costume. I just don't want to make the effort this year.

Dr. House. I get to wear sneakers and a tee shirt while still looking semi-professional.

The girl and I are toying with the idea of myself as Chris Hanson and her as the decoy. I'd be in a suit (with perverted chat logs in my pocket). She'd be wearing Hollister/Abercrombie gear, pigtails and carrying around cookies. She'd ask people if they want a cookie. If they take the bait, then I ask them to take a seat and proceed to read off some perverted shit.

That's pretty damn clever Rob. I'll be The Tenth Doctor this year. It's what the stimulus check went to.

And Ratty, I don't know how that would work but that's something for the MBA power couple.

Oh and Drag queen Palins at WeHo this year.

I'm still waiting for Joker McCain and Harley Palin though.

I've got a work leaving do on the 31st so I'm trying to work out how to base a costume around my usual working clothes so that I can hit any parties afterwards. I've got a pretty awesome gorilla mask which I might just wear with a black suit and gloves to be utterly lazy.

You could be even lazier and just show up with some random hat. Or you could go as Gordon Brown. Don't ask me how that would work though.

Frank Miller's The Spirit. Wasn't planning on it, and even the movie doesn't particularly intrigue me, but it turned out to go pretty smoothly, though much more expensive than I would have liked. Had a black shirt and pants, so I ended up only needing a red tie, fedora, trenchcoat, mask, and gloves. At least Goodwill and costume stores made it not too expensive for me to pick up most of this. Hell, the tie and gloves were the most expensive parts, though I can use these later I suppose.

The tie was the most expensive? Really. Wow. I would've thought the trenchcoat would have cost the most.

Tie was about 18 bucks at JC Penny, not happy, but it's a red tie that I can reuse. I picked up the coat at a Goodwill for about 12.50.

I probably should have waited on chopping my hair off. All I would have need to do to dress as Chigurh would have involved getting a denim jacket and a belt buckle. Then again that would have meant shaving my beard, and well that can't happen.

All I have for a costume right now is glow in the dark vampire teeth. Clearly that is insufficient.

I did my Richie Tenenbaum costume for an early party. We came in 2nd for best group costume. Local art group went as the Batman Family and won (Batgirl I and II, Bats, Nightwing, Robin and Alfred).

The other get-together is on the 1st, so I'll be going as Larry Flynt. I've got the wheelchair and everything.

I imagine with you going as Flynt. Someone else should go as Hunter Thompson and another guy as Col. Sanders and you'd have a Kentucky Trifecta.

Well, Hunter S. Thompson is from my area. I'd have to find someone from NKY and Corbin to make it authentic.

If I had the time to put it together, I would be going as the Douchiest Douche That Ever Douched AKA Ledger Rorschach.



Accessories:

1 - "I Believe in Harvey Dent" button with Watchmen blood splatter



1 - A cobbled together replica of Rorschach's grappling gun that fires a flag that says "HURM" instead of "BANG".



If I only had the time...

I went as Mr. Voorhees to a Halloween birthday last night. Not the 31st yet, true, but it was still a lotta fun.

I hadn't dressed up for Halloween in almost 12 years!

That's such a good fucking idea. I'm thinking about how I can steal your idea and make it before the Halloween party tomorrow night.

I'm a downer. I haven't dressed up since I was nine and my mother used ketchup on my Jason mask because she forgot to buy fake blood. I was laughed at quite a bit that night and it left some scars.

That's the exception. You know it's a parody of ultra-method acting. Which is why it was funny.

last year i was Jason Christ, (Jesus with a hockey mask and machete). That went over pretty well.

This year, i'm going to be a lot lazier. A long time ago, i bought a silk superman robe that i HAD to have the I proceeded to NEVER wear. So, now, i'll be wearing that, a white t-shirt, pajama pants, pink fuzzy slippers, and walking around with a rolled up news paper as Superman on his day off. I suspect, at least, i'll be comfortable. And finally use that robe.

My favorire costume of recent years was John Hinckley Jr. - a pistol in my waistband, The Catcher in the Rye in my back pocket, and a homemade I <3 Jodie Foster t-shirt.
