I haven't deceided myself. My wife won't let me be a pilot (that would be too easy) so I also need ideas.

Since my only Halloween activity takes place at the Library, I have to be something non-threatening to the munchkins. Vampires, monsters, ghouls and the like are out.

Im considering Harry Potter, just to see if I could provoke any of the Fundie parents.

The only other costume I have is a DS9 uniform I bought at Spencer's. But I wore that already.

I also thought about wearing all black, putting two yellow stripes of tape down my front, and going as the new bypass...

I'm going to dye my hair black, put white makeup on face and neck, a nice big black spot around my left eye and then a black lense on my white-side eye and a white lense on the eye in the spot. It'll cost me, but hey!?

Don't forget, I faked all the orgasms.

Intersting, intersting... I'd do Star Trek, but that's also too easy. (And the wife doesn't like it.

) I'll see what comes up. I might not even be home for the 31st though. That'd be a bummer.

I'm gonna wear my DS9 science officer uniform again, but this time, I've got a Pagan friend who's a makeup artist and Trek fan. She said she'll do a half-Klingon makeup for me. It's nice to have connections.

And, of course, the paganity of this friend is important. As we all know, those monotheists can't do make-up worth shit, right? *LOL*

And, yes, "inebriated" is the correct spelling.

I do believe I shall set up a thread after H'a'l'l'o'w'e'e'n entitled "what room in intensive care are you in after you got the shit kicked out of you for dressing in a star trek uniform on halloween."

Star Trek uniforms. *Snort*. According to my calculations...

If I had the cash for the sequins & any worthwhile drive to really do anything, I'd probably dress up as Chairman Kaga....

Is there some special law that dictates that while Trek uniforms should look cool on screen, they should look awful when worn by actual people.

They're either 5 sizes too small (which in some cases can't be helped I suppose. Unless you want to use every sheep in New Zealand to make a single batch), and in other cases their are ridiculously baggy.

Now, from this, I can make three possible conclusions.

1. Star Trek fans are fat. From spending all day on the internet, and never going out and talking to the walking people.

2. Star Trek fans are too thin. From never doing any excersise. And from having various breathing related problems. And theyt are possibly lepers too.

3. The companies are making the unifroms quickly, cheeply, and without any effort, to cash-in on the cash-sucking cash-cow that is cash-Trek.

Or possible all 3. I am going to run away now.

Posted by Fructose (Member # 309) on :

The real reason is that the actors have custom professionally tailored costumes and they use top quality cloth. Fans buy cheap knock-offs that are "one-size fit's all," use standard/cheap fabric, and some are fat/skinny. If you get a professional to make a real uniform, then it will look good. But I bet it will cost about $400.

This Liam guy, he rules.

And I think I read somewhere the TNG unforms cost abou two or three grand and were made of gabardine wool, while store-bought uniforms are made of polyester-cotton. Thats quite a difference.

Well, if you can find a pattern somewhere, you can get better fabric and make your own costume that actually fits.

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Which is what my mom did when I was eight. Worked pretty well, too. She even modified it from the original unis to include a collar, and put in quite a few "grow tucks". I could still wear it three years later. Still have the costume, but it hasn't fit for about nine inches now...

Posted by Mikey T (Member # 144) on :

I guess I'll just dress up as as Sigmund Freud for Halloween, that way I can talk about sex.

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

I might go as Ultra Magnus (our Ultra Magnus. Not the giant blue car carrier). That way I can say pretty much whatever crap I want, go *beep*, then run away, laughing. Laughing. Oh, how the laughter fills me with power!

Hmm...
Is this an insult? My humor sensor is defective. Especially with most British people, anyway. I like The Black Adder. I'm not sure why, though. Perhaps because it has that Bean guy. Or something.
I don't think I've ever said *beep* before. How do you pronounce those stars anyway?

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

The sound doesn't exist in any human languages. In order to pronounce it, you'd have to curl your tongue around and stick it most of the way down your throat.

Then again, if you could do that, I think you'd be a little too busy to come around here...

First of all, I just want to say that I made my own Star Trek uniform a few years ago, and it fit me BEAUTIFULLY. Still does, actually, but that's beside the point..... the point IS, if you want it to look good on you, make it yourself. Believe it or not, patterns can actually be found at the fabric store. Will wonders never cease.......

Secondly, I just want to say that though for Halloween this year I get the honor of being allowed to pick ANY costume I want out of the area theater's costume shop, I'm probably just going to be a hunchback or a gimp. It's a role that I seem to fill quite well right now.... and besides that, getting dressed causes me enough pain... elaborate costumes are just about out of the question.... pleh.
