I hate this.... Costume party

[_RaT_]

Any ideas for a costume party I am being ordered to attend? Dress up as a woman, a Q tip, etc.... any ideas?

Fool all of them, go dressed as whatever you do for work, you should have the right clothes
I worked as a paint and bodyman and I went with painted up clothes and a spray mask and a paint gun. ( not loaded of course )
and it worked

and do yourself a favor and forget the woman thing, thats older than us

You where ordered to GO?
Go as the invisable man!!
That way you don't have to go and nobody can prove you didn't!!!

Dress like a stripper, act like a drunken floozie. You won't get invited next year.

The party I'm going to, that will get me first or second prize.

For a few years, I'd put my parachute rig on over my suit, & carry a briefcase with play money hanging out of it. A plastic helmet & mirrored Kroops goggles completed the costume. Guess who I was?

In college I made a costume out of foam that I strapped on and wore to a costume party. It was a urenal, just don't stand in one place too long.

Hey.. now that's a cool idea.. a foam urinal!

just need to add a kids water gun and some rubber line to it and walk up to somebody and squirt them.. maybee have a urinal cake in the bottom as well!

I can never think of anything till the last minute; just can't make my mind up...

Whe I used to have a dirt bike, I had full gear; leathers, chest protector etc. Tha made a decent costume. Of course, one year I did that, and as I got out of the car, I noticed a buddy in the same gear getting out of his car!

Camo always works. Add a little face paint. Wore my duck hunting gear once; waders get real hot, and it didn't do them much good; they were getting old anyways

I have one of those inexpensive import Claymores; a Scottish great sword is easy to build upon in a costume.

The only thing I have not used as a costume is my fire gear. It's for duty, not play.

I had a friend that went as Fred Flintstone. Typical caveman outfit, except....

He made a lightweight frame out of PVC in the shape of Fred's car and decorated it with cardboard panels. For tires, he used two cardboard moving drums. the cannopy was cloth on a frame as well. He made some shoulder straps to hang the whole thing from.

So the door rings and Fred Flinstone is standing there in his car ready to roll withhis feet out the bottom. It really looked great!

Moss, sounds something like a costume my brother & a few friends came up with some years ago. They "dressed" my brother as a steam locomotive (he's been in a wheel chair since the early 80's). He was the hit of the party.

Yep, DB Cooper it was (I was?)! Only problem I had with that "costume" was the fact that I was using a real rig. If anyone pulled the silver handle on my chest, it would have cost $25-$30 to get the reserve chute repacked, so I was rather paranoid about that & the fact that replacement cost of a complete rig (back in the mid 80's) was around $2500-$3000!

One of the best costumes I saw was at a Halloween event in Coolidge, Arizona (a skydiving event BTW). A guy made a light frame & went as a mattress complete with bedding.

Best costume I saw was a guy dressed as Godzilla. All his friends were dressed as buildings and every so often they'd group together so Godzilla could knock them all down again.

RaT you could go as Adam from the Garden of Eden, pre-snake. No offense but I don't think I would want to attend if you do. LOL
