James D. Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Okay, as some of you know, I was going to dress up as Steve Rogers before he becomes Captain America for Halloween, but that's not going to fly at my job and it's pretty boring anyway. So, I need some suggestions. Rules: 1.) Can't be "gruesome". I work at a supermarket, so kids will be in all day long, and I can't have anything looking like blood on the outfit. 2.) Can't wear a mask. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Ha. Mike (Cole) suggested that we and our friends all go as Waldo. I've decided to be the Riddler. It'll be easy to piece together the John Glover early BTAS costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 ...I was seriously going to suggest BTAS Riddler, then decided not to for some bizarre reason. Yeah, do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Since I couldn't find a halfway decent cane to use, I decided I'm going to make one. I bought a dowel and a wooden number "5" from Hobby Lobby and I broke the top off of the number 5 so all that was left was a quesiton mark shape. I painted that gold and I'm going to glue it to the dowel and spray the dowel green with Krylon. Then, I found a bright green tie at Kohl's today, and I drew a question mark on it. Looks fantastic, actually. I also bought some purple gloves from Wal-Mart. All I need now is a green sport coat and a green derby and it'll be finished. I'll take some pictures of the finished product when I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I've kinda had no money to put towards Halloween this year so I'm going uber-cheap. Jeans, red hoodie, Superboy shirt. Something I wear on a regular basis but I can say I'm something else. Simple and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I found a green sport jacket at Goodwill tonight for $6! All that's left for me to get is a green derby, which for some reason has been impossible to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Funny Halloween story: So I got back to the states on Oct. 17, just in time for Halloween. A guy at work, nick-named the "buff nerd", knows I'm an anime fan, and turned me on to Bleach. For whatever reason I had never gotten around to watching it before. Other than the copious amount of filler episodes, I enjoyed the show. So I decided to go as Ichigo in Bankai form with Hollow mask this year. So on Halloween, I end up winning a costume contest at the local bar, good times. After the contest I have a guy walk up to me and say, "Nice costume, my little brother watches that cartoon. He's 12.", in a sarcastic matter. So barely taking my eyes off my drink I proceed to say, "I work special operations in the Marine Corps. I've been in combat in Iraq, Afghanistan, and have toured the Pacific. I've killed men. So if you've come to make a joke, I'm pretty sure my job and my "man card" will trump anything you've ever done in your life." The look on his face was price-less as he slinked away.
