Pretty good Bromsy... I'd definitely go with the fur, even if just for the look, it just looks a little... plain without it...

More effort than I've ever put into a costume though, so thumbs up anyway

I just look for costume contests and then arbitrarily pull out a costume from the closet. Selections include:
Destro (from GI Joe)
Henchman 24 (from Venture Bros)
Taskmaster (from Marvel comics)
Vlad (from Hack/Slash)

Ah.. I recently inherited a Tuxedo that fits quite well. I'm torn between "guy in a tuxedo" and "Tom Cruise from The Last Samurai"...

I love National Dress like a Slut day!

Kronk...post the pics of the contestants...we decide

You could wear the tux and go as Tom Cruise from the Last Samurai wrap party.

Or a penguin...

Or Tom Cruise playing a penguin at the Last Samurai wrap party. I'm a goddamned genius.

I think I'll save the tuxedo for some other occasion. Quite frankly, I don't think it'll fit me when I get out of boot camp, so I might just wear it around town.. go shopping in it, loiter, things like that.

Smoke a pipe.

Here's what I'd do: I'd use some PVC pipe and ahiking backback to create a makeshift jet pack and go as James Bond.

That's actually a real thing! I saw a show on the Military channel about it! They had one later on that they could strap rockets onto . The army wanted them, but decided against it because of the Huey, I think. Great idea! Sean Connery is the best, forever and ever.

Im gonna be Jack Sparrow, Rooster Cogburn, Green Man (its always sunny), Mad Max, Rorschach, a vampire hunter, and anything else I can think of

Im not Dressing Up, But im making a White Scars Pumpkin Scraping today, or tommorow.

I found what I'll probably use

Last time I did anything for Hallowe'en, I went as a quest giving NPC from an MMORPG. Basic peasant get up with a big yellow exclamation point over my head. Sadly, only two people at the party "got it" and I had to explain it to everyone else.

What I'd like to do is a two face costume, but I think it's pretty likely I'll be too busy to do anything cool.

Sadly, or not, some of us don't need to use stuff like that to be Men

Some of us also like to think male body odor is less repulsive than a gallon of spray on stank.

some of us also have women-folk to tell us that we smell better as manly men, rather than spray on stank.

It... It was a joke.

On topic: I'm going as a zombie or with a zipper face if possible. I'm not a huge Halloween fan, so don't usually put too much effort in.

One joke leads to another my friend.

Its a hilarious, yet vicious, cycle.

I went as Twoface for a party on Friday. Looked pretty good, better than when I did Twoface a few years ago. But I won't be doing it anymore, the makeup is just a pain in the ass, especially since if my shoulder so much as brushes against my face, I get a bunch of makeup on my suit, which really sucks to get off.

I'll start celebrating it when you chaps start celebrating Guy Fawkes' Night.

We do? Or at least where I am we have usually have something, it's not as big as the ones in England obcviously but we do set off fireworks and have bonfires. Then again, I live near London ON.

I actually had to look it up, I thought everyone was lighting bonfires in SUPPORT of the treason and saying they were rather upset the House of Lords didn't become a smoking hole in the deck.

Instead I find something about commemorating the English state and how evil Catholics are.

Sounds like a real party?

Is this that rare Star Wars model that no one has any info about? I swear I've seen this before.

Jeez, I've still got one of those from Kenner in the 70s - in one of my boxes of old toys awaiting cannibalising into useful stuff - it was referred to as "power droid" on its card.
Yes, it's out of it's blister. Yes, it's missing a foot (dog chewed), no, I don't care.

Ha, same. I was about to light up a bonfire myself, but then I was like, "A holiday commemorating the suppression of a rebellion, not the success of one? That's no fun." I think that they're just trying to compensate for losing the big one.

And here I thought we were celebrating fire and toffee apples.

To put it more in context, it was originally more of a celebration of the fact that England rebelled from the Pope and stayed rebelled from him, stopping those that would have put England back under Catholic rule, given the chance.

Also, it's about stopping terrorism. I thought you Yanks were all about stopping terrorism!

Sadly, the dive bar that I went to last year had their halloween costume night this past Saturday and I already had plans with my GF.

Last year the theme was super heros (I was recently single at the time). LOTS of chicks in slutty Wonderwoman and Super Girl type outfits. Poison Ivy made my pants tight, but she brought her girlfriend...

I wore my Captain Kirk outfit and met Nurse Julie. That was a fun month...

Don't worry, it got even funnier.
