Halloween 2013
 

You know the drill by now....

what're ya gonna be? what ideas did you pass up?

pics, pics, pics!


I'm going to be Col Sanders. Amanda is going to be a Chicken

Spencer is going as Link, Ripley as a Prom date that was in a drunk driving accident.

pics to follow.

Lancelot Link? What/who is a Link?

I like the Sanders/Chicken combo. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Sigh.
Just gonna be a random character dressed up again with a wig & make-up.
It's not the same over here.

But I do have a goodly store of decorations now to entice the childer down my dark, dark path.
Will take photos if I can.
Looking forward to see others'.

Just cross your fingers for unusually dry/ mild weather for me.
Or cross your legs for terrible wind.

He's the main character from Legend of Zelda.

we were all talking about different themes and video game characters was one option.. Spencer locked onto Link, but the rest of us couldn't decide on good ones.... so he's going his own way.

I don't think I'll be anything this year.

But I'll help my son fashion a chainsaw out of some foam board for his lumberjack costume. He made an axe, but this is for a party at school, and there's a good chance they will consider an axe to be a weapon and won't let him bring it in. Not to mention you know that some of the other kids will actually want to use his axe as a weapon. "Let me see your axe for a second." *chop* *chop* *chop*

I don't have anywhere to go on Hallowe'en this year; even if I did, all the costumes I've sewn in the past are back in PA. I'll enjoy the pics of other dwellars' costumes. I like the Sanders/chicken pairing too!

Yeah... Spencer ordered that sword in the picture. I had it shipped to MY house, though... he didn't notice until the shipping email came... it's a real sword... so he will get a long lecture when I hand it to him. He has knives and a tomahawk, so I trust him... but still.

He's not going to school with it, is he? (Is he home schooled? I forget.) Anyway, school administrators will go apeshit over a real sword.

Yeah, NO.

He is actually going to school full time now, which is awesome. he's in TENTH grade already! can you fucking believe that???

but, no.... not going to school. we're having a party on the 26th at Amanda's.... Ute, you and Jackie are invited... I don't remember if I sent one via facebook.... any other locals that wanna come are too!

pm me for details.

Waitwhut?! You're thinking a chainsaw will go over better than an axe?:eyebrow:

Kindergarteners get tossed out over a Poptart gnawed into a vague gun shape...I'm guessing you'll be posting from Leavenworth after "The Great Foamboard Chainsaw Debacle of 2013".

Heh. Yeh. Well, battle axes were real weapons, but chainsaws have only ever been improvised weapons in movies. And he's going as a lumberjack, not as Ash.

Sorry, stream of consciousness got loose...

Ctfy

plucking to follow.

Both of mine are going as characters from Minecraft.

Minifobette is going to be an Enderman. Minifob is going to be Herobrine (which is actually kind of like the drop-bear of Minecraft; he's not actually in the game at all, but he has a whole set of memes built up around him, created entirely by the fan community.)

I'm going as "Stay at home, and watch TV" guy. Ya know...the usual rountine for me nowadays.

I wish you were local, drax. I'd insist on you coming to our party.

I'm not even teasing you, bro. I seriously would.

I will be playing the crazy woman with the treats in a big bucket of jelly baff who makes you go dunking if you want one. Kids seem to like it, although some of them get a bit funny about it. God knows why.

Ali, FTR!
Tempted to let the littluns - all dressed up and with a parent with them or standing at the end of the dark, dark path get cheapo unbranded mini-bars. Sorry kids, not going to treat you better than I treat my cat.

Teens and/or near-teens who have made no effort, the same bars suspended in choppped up jelly.

Well. Would be a fine idea.

But never run out yet. We're just too scary a destination in the dark. Even for tweens who have no parent to intervene if we decide to chase them up the dark, dark path and then onto the Path we live on with one streetlight for near 20 houses...

Testing different methods of making my hair white. The sprays are crap. Seems like combing grease make up into it is the way to go. At least for the beard.... that looks good. Theres a bit of white make up on my right side as well. .. wanted to see if it made me older. It turned my eye blue!

Note to self. .. drink through a straw

My friend used to collect stuffed animals or 'stuffies' and when they'd get dirty she'd brush a little bit of white flour into the fur.
Next time you want to go white, try 5 Roses flour. It costs more but, you're worth it;)

White: looks good on the beard and emphasizes your forehead wrinkles are all horizontal !

The glasses came today.

I may wear these to work. Look how smart I look.

I'm going to be the creepy old guy who dresses up his chickens

Those glasses are perfect. Got a white suit and ribbon tie?

When you are done being the good Col. get some sun glass lenses for those

So the glasses are for a Clark Kent look. And the white hair is Superman now at 60.

Yup. The suit is being altered. Pick that up today. .. after one more cup of coffee, actually. The ribbon tie should arrive today. I need to get over to my friends house and borrow a cane.... and fashion a black pocket silk for the coat.

That's going to be a very good likeness, Jim. Excellent costume.

You'll be an awesome Col. Sanders, LJ. Wow.

Ripley is a prom date that was in car accident. It was a DUI. Did her own makeup.

WOW!

That is an excellent makeup job, Jim. My compliments to Ripley.

This little 9 yr old girl, considered her as my niece, asked me what am I dressing up as for Halloween. I said, "Spinster." She looked at me and said, "So, you're going as yourself?" :lol: I'm going to find a bunch of cat stuff animals and carry them around my neck to go trick-or-treating this year. :D

Spinster? Naw, playgirl. ;)

Here's a good disguise for your 'treats.'

Infini: funny!

Here's the kids at Gannie's party last Saturday.

One final detail for my costume:

The current bucket is an icky orange and red mess, advertising the boneless chicken, so I had to print the old school bucket and tape it over it.

Evening all. I am new here and was just stopping in to see what is what. The costume ideas are fabulous! If only I wasn't working that night...

What is what depends on what your definition of is, is.

Hopefully you'll stay awhile for us to find out.

:welcome:

Greetings Lissa!

Welcome to the cellar :)

It's about time you finally registered, Liss. Now, if you would just press ctrl, shift, alt, and F10, the spy ware dashboard we use to monitor lurkers will come up. Next, go to tools, options, and click the tab for Sites. Select cellar.org, and enter your log in info. When prompted, agree to the terms and conditions, recite the cellar Oath, and click the "STOP MONITORING" button.

Oh, and that's a very nice collection of tea kettle cozies you've got pictures of in the Yarn Barn file on drive E:

Did you make them all? Do you sell them? How much to have one shipped to the Norristown Mental Hospital? (Asking for a friend)

Not to mention the fact that they've refused to use the word "fried" in over a decade. I remember the first time I heard an ad claiming that KFC stood for "Kitchen-Fresh Chicken(!)" Made me scream at the radio in fury.

Liss, this is my friend, Clodfobble. She talks to the radio. She wants a pink cozy.

Is that one of those new euphemisms you were asking for?

hm no one saw what i did there?

here I'm just goofing, trying to freak out the lurker by pretending that I have somehow installed spy software on her computer. not very funny on it's own. mildly amusing because of the overblown 'jim is freaked out by / askeered of lurkers meme. meh

so now I go further into the gag, pretending that I have been browsing her computer, where I've seen jpegs of many tea kettle cozies on her E drive.
- still not terribly funny....but bear with me... it's coming
ok, so here, I wrap it all up. The request to have them shipped to a mental facility refers to fargon's introducing himself as crazy to another newb a coupe days ago. I pretend that it's for a 'friend' which is to say, I'm the crazy one.... but then...wolf worked in a mental hosp in Norristown, so maybe i'm talking about her... and limey knits, so maybe it's her....

so, while it's technically funny...it's really only about a 6 or 7.

now, when YOU mention screaming at a radio....

this is where the joke goes from good to great.

NOW, I act like there REALLY WAS a crazy friend, and you're her!

the color of the cozy is just a red herring.

er. pink ... herring....






no?

Everyone's just flabbergasted 'cause now they know you're ready for SNL.

I'm still back in layering 101 with stuff like:

What did Tarzan say when he saw a herd of elephants come charging down the side of the hill?

"Hello!"

What did Tarzan say when he saw a herd of elephants come charging down the side of the hill and they were all wearing sunglasses?

Nothing, he didn't recognize them.

What's the difference between elephant skin and an orange peel?

The color.

What did Tarzan say when he saw a bunch of oranges come rolling down the side side of the hill?

"Hello!" ... He was color blind.

Jim's predecessor...

Found a photo of Big Sarge on the interwebs today in his Halloweenie finery. I do have to say considering his name I was expecting a bigger pan!;)

Attachment 45820

Pah. Wait till you see. That guy didn't even get a white coat. I photo shopped my beard to see what it would look like if I trimmed it to be like the colonel. I'm still on the fence about it. .

Yes, it was kind of stoned out last night.

Mike is a bar maid. .... with captain and coke in his Boobie.
