Teh Bad Grammer-Ouy: Engrish Lesones 4 All.

[GradyWilson]

lol i have been Superman, Spider-Man, and Luke Skywalker. only the middle one was store-bought. cheap polyester Spider-Man 2 suit with no gloves, no emblem on the back, instead of mesh for the eyes (which all of the later ones had) it had holes, and for some reason, even though i see perfect without them, my mom made me wear my bloody glasses under them. yeah, right, i didn't listen to that one bit and i still don't. i now, (and always used to) just chuck them into my bag. be it a Wal-Mart one or a Darth Vader head my glasses are going to stay in there until the time we come home.

Right on. Wal-Mart Spidey? heh heh...

I have been Leatherface, random barbarians/fantasy characters, Vultan (Flash Gordon), zombies, sea creature/swamp monster, etc..etc...etc...

We have pictures around here somewhere from when I was Leatherface...several of us worked on that costume. I used the $90 Nu-Skin mask, a wig from GoodWill, lots of paint/make-up, and a real chainsaw...at the time I was working for a fish monger, so I just grabbed a 'heavily stained' apron...was a really great set-up..

well, i still don't know how to make a decent Spider-Man suit yet so don't judge. ima see how the adult The Amazing Spider-Man suits are this year before i think about getting a new Lightsaber or making a Badass Light Yagami costume

[deadlegion]

sooo....... Halloween costumes/cosplay. who does it?

I guess I did for birthday parties that required it when I was a kid (and a few times when I was a young adult).......but besides that, not really.
Certainly not for halloween

[GunSlinger Boy]

why? what's wrong with halloween?

No 'judging' man....nope.

I have always wanted to hit a convention/event/party as Ox King...


At my height and frame, (nearly 6'7", 350 lbs.) I would obviously look pretty damned foolish if I were to go as certain characters, heh... (Spidey, Luke, Bart Simpson, Wonder-Woman - LOL)

I know that I could pull-off a GREAT Hagrid, and my wife has begged me to for years, but I'm just not a fan of that property, so...

DL - You ought to give it a go...it can be great fun and a great stress resolver. Back in the 90s, a group of my buddies went to a sci-fi con dressed as several of the Z-Warriors...they won some sort of contest, and a great time was had...
(cosplay + booze ?)

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it
It has never been important really. Same for many people I grew up with over here (and people older than me too).

When I was a kid (and before fireworks were banned here) we would get together with friends for Guy Fawkes Night (aka Bonfire Night).
And it's not as if I grew up in an environment without birthday parties or Christmas/New Year/Easter celebrations

I'm just not interested.......except as an observer
I gave up drinking years ago, but I have no problem being around people that do

Right on. never even thought of that....you are from the UK. I didnt realize that you guys dont go all-out for Halloween, huh...
The last interaction I had with someone over the pond was a dude that wanted Mt. Dew and Lucky Charm cereal..heh...apparently they are not readily available in the UK - ? I got a bunch of Game Gear and MegaDrive games for some sweeties...

"Years ago", eh? you must be closer to my age than most of the populace here...

[Moonkern]

Emu Paradise. You know what you can't emulate on a computer? Friends.

LOL!

NOT true, though; I met my wife on-line, and as far as 'friends', I have done business with people around the globe because of the internet.

Sadly, I find the net contains mostly pornography, hatred, and trolls (90%)....but the GOOD aspects keep me hanging around, I suppose...

I'm in Australia, actually
That's reason I'm about 14 hours (or whatever) ahead of you.

I'm definitely not the oldest here......only 39.

Just watch some porn

I'll be the big 39 in the fall! heh... Oz, eh? I thought that Guy Fawkes Night was a UK thing, no?
I have a great trade buddy in Oz, actually.... 'Cat' is her name...she sent me some WoolWorth 'Musk Sticks' and Vegemite as part of a recent swap...

Yeah, Guy Fawkes Night is an English thing.
Did you use the vegemite as dip for the musk sticks?

[deadlegion]

Nothing like vegemite though.
Great on toast, and a great addition to a cheese sandwich
