Had a pretty good idea, but looks like I’m not gonna get to do it. Was gonna go as “crossfit guy”. Faux hawk my hair, wear a headband, aviators, board shorts, no shirt and no shoes. You know how they wear that ridiculous kino tape? Was gonna take electrical tape and write “crossfit 4 eva” on my chest, and everywhere I went ask if the beer was paleo and inquire about others Fran times. Basically be as obnoxious as possible, aka be crossfit guy.[/quote]
How many people where you live would get that costume if you did it though?[/quote]
My thoughts exactly.
You may spend all night explaining your costume and then people will wonder if you’re doing it because you admire Crossfit.

A fair amount I think. I’ve got quite a few friends who know nothing about anything workout related, but they’ve all heard of crossfit and have been bombarded at some point by its douchey participants.

I wouldn’t. I’d just keep questioning their Fran times and bitching about the non-paleo beverages.

exactly why I backed out on the Stone Cold ET costume. LOL. I thought that video was way more popular than I thought. Then I looked at the views. :X
Now I’m thinking the Driver (Ryan Gosling) from the movie Drive. I have the hair for it and can put a slick looking part in my hair with this pomade I have, my brother’s got a similar looking jacket, and I can pick up some driving gloves and sunglasses, and wear a bloody v-neck underneath the unzipped jacket. HMMMM

I love Doraemon. Do they know Doraemon in China? Pretty sure almost no one in the US does, though I send a ton of Doraemon and Anpanman toys home to my friends and family all the time.

Yeah, they call him Xiao DingDang here.
What I think I’ll do is just rent the big head and wear that. The costume wouldn’t fit anyway.[/quote]
I love how Chinese foreign names bare absolutely no resemblance whatsoever with the original. And it works both ways. I deal with a few Chinese and their names are always Mary, Edward, James and such, whereas their real names are obviously nothing of the sort.
Looks like the picture I posted earlier of me and my wife as dead bride and groom has ended up on Thenest.com and MSN.com. Pretty sweet.
Also, I walked into a party late last night with my wife as the black/white swans, and within 5 minutes, we were awarded best costumes and 75 bucks in gift cards. #winning
All I ask is that those of you with children please ensure that at least one of the little bastards goes ‘trick or treating’ dressed as a glowing ghoul. Riding home in the dark last year I nearly rode down about a dozen hyped up, sugar rushed witches, warlocks, batmen, etc. The skeletons weren’t as visible as one might hope either.
Not dressing up this year but I have been Jack Nicholson from “The Shining” and the Scorpio killer from “Dirty Harry”. I know those are obscure costumes but for the few that got it…it was worth it.

What do you wear to be the Scorpio killer??[/quote]
I had two choices…the masked version (where he got stabbed in the leg) or the “school bus inspector” which is what I went with. I need to dig up a picture because I looked just like him. But I did combine the two costumes because I still had a switchblade sticking out of my leg.
