Last Minute Halloweenie

Oct 31, 2006 21:18

Damn End-of-October! How you be sneakin' up on me like that?!

For a girl who wears costumes every other day in her apartment for fun, it's kinda scary I'm pulling a big ol' blank this year. I need something fast! What should I do?

1. Harpo Marx: (Mr. IQ is already going as Groucho) Need a Wig, need a horn, need a fish, flask, flush, and ( Read more... )

A lot of couples go as Groucho and Harpo; someday, I would love to see a couple as Groucho and Margaret Dumont instead. How fun would it be to speak in a high-falutin' Margaret Dumont voice all evening? Plus, you get to engage in witty repartee like this:

Margaret Dumont: It's a gala day for you.
Groucho: That's good; I don't think I can handle more than a gal a day.

Actually I totally wanted to be her! Ask Mikey! I even said I would wear something frumpy and sequined and glue my nostrils shut and walk around with my eyes crossed.

Yeah. Mikey didn't like it.

Also, I seem to be out of sequined outfits. This is somethign that needs to be fixed soon.

Mikey sucks.

Mikey just wasn't so keen about me gluing my nose shut, but it wasn't my fault my nose isn't Dumont enough shaped naturally! (I also thought it might help with the snoooty voice.)

I figure if I glue about 17 turkeys together it woudl be enough to make a butterball bodysuit. I'd imagine it's be nice and cozy and warm in there.

one of my coworkers came to work as wikipedia today. He had a big sandwich board upon which he had drawn a wikipedia article, and it said "this article is a stub..." and he walked around with a pen and got people to contribute to the article.

that being said, i think you should be zombie mini mouse. In fact, if you dont go as zombie something or other, I'll be sad. mmmm....zombies...

He should have gone and Zombie Wikipedia and occasionally ate the stubs.

Perhaps I'll be zombie ziggy and I'll give percentage answers to questions like "Hey Colleen, do you think the Yankees will win the World Series" my answer: "20% BRAAaAAAAaaaaaaaaains"

I think you should go as Pretzie.

colleenaf October 31 2006, 22:14:27 UTC

Aw man. Why didn't I think of that?! (though to appease Ms. Clevortrevor above, I may have to go as Zombie Pretzie)

Forget going as "Maguiver". Instead, go as MacGuyver. Even better, go as Season 7's Pete, after he'd gone blind in real life and they tried to write it into the show. You could even go as blind King Arthur Pete, which is the episode that convinced me that my rather rabid fanboyism could no longer conceal the fact that the show had started sucking.

Man I am perpetually spelling that man's name wrong. I am also perpectualy using that man's name, so perhaps the paperclip mulletted god will forgive me.

Okay the fact that episode was called "Good Knight, MacGyver" is bad enough. I'm not even sure if pun-queen annie would approve of that one!

Is that out on DVD now? I seriously have only ever seen one episode, and it was the final one with his son and the awesome jet pack they make out of a fire extinguisher. (Something i think about every single time when I'm having a bad day and I see the fire extinguisher that's right outside my office door.)

It is indeed available on DVD. Season 7 just came out yesterday. I wouldn't really advise watching anything past the end of season 5, though. When Mac jumped the shark, he jumped it hard.
