Miss C and Scaramouch posted their old Halloween costume with photos earlier this week. So, I thought I'd post a few of mine.
Like this gem from a few years ago - I went as a giraffe.
As you can tell, I go all out.
No, I didn't rent a costume, I had myself genetically re-engineered. Had to take the week off for surgery but it was so worth it. As you can see it was a big hit with school kids, they worshiped me.
My neck hurt something fierce the next day.
My most excellent idea was...
Last year I went as a pimp to the Radio City Rockettes.
I used my YBNBY bonus money and hired these real Rockettes to shadow me and pretend they thought I was awesome.
People loved this one. You should have seen the crowds of people, both teenage boys and older dudes, that flocked to me.
It was strange that they kept asking me to get out of the way so they could take a photo with these lovely ladies though.
Oh well, another day in the life of my fabulous, awesome Halloween adventure.
Truth be told, I'm not really into Halloween.
I love posting about it and watching how much others get into it, but I'm not a big dresser-upper myself. For me, Halloween can't compare to Christmas, July 4th and my birthday. (Ron Paul promised me he'd make it a national holiday, so he's got my vote.)
For me the magic ended the year my parents started giving me allowance for mowing the lawn. That $5 a week added up to candy money any time I wished. The idea of dressing up when I could just go to the store for a Snickers, Reggie Bar or Whatchamacallit just lost it's appeal. Plus, I had too much fun spraying shaving cream and chucking eggs to collect little candy corns and crap.
However, I did promise Scaramouch I would look through my photo albums. I turned up this one from college. My dorm floor gathered before heading to some off campus drunk fest to binge our way into pukedom.
So I dressed up too.
See if you can guess which one I am. Fellow YBNBY contributor Evil Rich should have no trouble, he's the one next to me.
Happy Halloween. I'll be the one dressed up as a lamp post.
Read Miss C Ghosts Post or Scara's, costume post, please do.

You're the dude in the back with the white hat? or are you Tigger?
What is that costume, anyway. Looks like the beginnings of a Baseball Furies from The Warriors, but no facepaint.
I'm guessing the guy in the big glasses/Hef smoking jacket...and you're not dressed up, are you?
I've met him in person and I still can't pick out which one he is!
actually, first row, regular tee shirts (purple sleeves) and jeans w/some face paint is prob more accurate---because as a college age guy who didn't really have strong enthusiasm for Halloween yet wanted to go drink and see babes in slutty costumes, this would have been an easy to throw together 'costume'...
too manly to spend weeks stitching a costume together...right?
Chick in the back left. Another experiment with genetic engineering?
Good point, kbk. You might be on to something there!
if he did, he was guaranteed to be able to grope a female w/o being slapped!
One of you is right on the money.
Guy in purple shirt it is....
AND...he's got the I'm the tough one from the NKOTB vibe going....
Oh my god, what a blast from the past indeed. I obviously had no idea that in college you're supposed to dress up as something that will help get you laid.
I dunno....torn jeans have always done it for me...
but kissing someone with more makeup on than me....ehhh....
Hint: Me & Rich aren't kneeling.
Rich, I blame THE DOM for ruining your night.
I give up....and I'm intrigued by the fact that there's more story....
Another hint. Anyone who's familiar with my contributions to this site should be able to pick me out pretty easily even if it's hard to tell what exactly I'm supposed to be.
Okay, so my first guess was right?
Back row (l to r)--anonymous co-ed, Evil Richard, Baier
Tim was right. And for that he gets a big kiss from me, the crazy sorority girl (OMG!)
Rich is Calvin.
Rich, my costume didn't get me laid as I recall either. Just pissed off the entire frat row, which was my intent I think.
Do you mean Hobbes?
Rich was Calvin. A friend of ours was Hobbes.
OMG! I knew it!
After I wrote what I did about your costume looking like the beginnings of a Baseball Furies costume, I saw the two guys in front. They look even more like the Furies, but no Yankees jersey.
Please hold back on the kiss. I've had enough homoerotic encounters for one day, errr lifetime, errr whatever.
Baier, nice work in the forum, but last I saw, you missed one...
Nice try SO.
