Anyone do anything, dress up, or something like that? (http://www.rabbitinasuit.com/emoticons/N-Q/pumpkin.gif)
-
Happy Halloweeeen!!!
no:-(
-
You'd think since this my favorite holiday I'd have done something fun, but I didn't really. Other then watching of RHPS. I keep saying I'm going to dress up every year, and then every year time gets away from me and the day is here and I didn't do it. Same thing this year.
-
Me and Kary were busy watching the Patriots gain first place in the NFL... and apparently so were the trick or treaters. We had like 12.
-
Went to church.
-
Watching the Rangers fail.
-
We just watched movies and didn't give out any candy this year.
-
BAH HUMBUG! Wait, wrong holiday.
Poo on you regardless.
-
I just dressed up as a bare knuckle fighter, went and bought a case of Dos Equis, then watched Scott Pilgrim with my brother. Pretty lame.
Did anyone else watch the Walking Dead on AMC? Looks like it's going to be a great series.
I like how the first episode takes place outside Atlanta, it reminds me of home, if it was infested by zombies.
-
My roommates watched it without me, because I was busy. Lamewads. They seemed to like it.
-
Poo on you regardless.
No, poo on you. Anyway, anyone who'd take a kid trick or treating in this neighborhood doesn't deserve any candy.
-
I would have SOOO taken Lilli out to trick or treat just so I'd get the delicious candy but alas, they don't do that in glorious Nippon :-( They do decorate the stores though
-
I wonder why Japan didn't adopt Halloween. Is it the idea of going door-to-door that doesn't sit well?
-
I don't know, maybe it's "too western" for them.
-
I mean, because I could see Japanese people being totally on-board with the costume and candy aspects. And the scaring part, too. But going door to door demanding treats or else kind of seems "forward" for that culture.
-
I don't know, maybe it's "too western" for them.
Yet they love Cowboys. Go figure.
-
Who doesn't love cowboys?
-
Indians.
-
From India?
-
Oh no...the other ones.
-
The Hindu Indians are probably not that fond of Cowboys.
-
Poo on you regardless.

Then obviously you should hand out bullets.
-
The Hindu Indians are probably not that fond of Cowboys.
Except they probably call them colonialists or something, since cows are Grandpa to them.

I went to an anime convention over the weekend, and a causal (no costume needed) "party" sunday night.
The con was awesome despite the fact I work midnights, couldn't get ALL my shift off, and had to stay awake during the con by taking narcolepsy pills and tons of 5-hour energy.
-
I went to a con last weekend, too! I played Talisman and then went home.
-
I hope you enjoyed that 5-Hour Energy, since those things are about to be banned.
-
The rest of you people suck. I dressed up as Dr. Zoidberg and went to a friend's party.
-
PICS OR GTFO

Here is me and my friend Bryan, who was Dexter, the lovable serial killer.
The mask was pieced together using a pair of knit caps sewn together, with the top on one opened up along the seam to create a neck opening. A glove made a perfect set of mouth tentacles. Holes were cut to see through (buttonhole stitched to keep the knit fabric from fraying/unravelling). Ping pong balls with about 30% cut off and with holes added for visibility (and to create pupils) finished things off.
The claw is articulated and fairly complex. I used my papercraft skills to shape the base out of cardboard. My original plan was paint it, so I then added a few layers of papier mache to smooth things out and have a white base instead of brown for painting. When I couldn't find paint to match the mask, I decided to cover it in fabric. Unfortunately, I ran out of time and could only make one claw. I just went with the story that the other one had gotten caught in a dumpster and hadn't grown back yet.
Oh, and you can't see it, but I found perfect pink slippers that looked like Zoidberg's feet in sandals. So, uh, now I have pink slippers to wear around the apartment.
-
Yeah, we kind of need to see those slippers ... and find out where you found them.
EDIT: How rude of me not to tell you that is in fact an awesome costume.
-
Seconded on costume awesomeness.

How many times did people beg you to crab walk?
-
How many times did people beg you to give them crabs?
-
How many times did people beg you to crab?
Just once.
How many times did people beg you to give them crabs?
Just twice.
-
Crab walk... I meant crab walk.

We all knew what you meant. :)
