Had a kid come to the door one year, all blue clothing, skin and hat with an extension cord around his neck, holding a rubber chicken in one hand. We Laughed and asked what are you?
Chicken Cordon Bleu!
I still laugh when I think about a guy that came to our neighborhood halloween party a few years ago wearing a Mammogram machine costume. The costume had a sign indicating where the female patients were directed to place their two items for testing...
I have a nephew who is a Quadriplegic and doctored his wheelchair up to look like and electric chair, then put on the costume of an inmate getting strapped into it complete with shaved head and all. He won $500 in costume contest at a bar and when it was over everyone was telling him to get up not knowing he was really paralyzed
Go around and ask personal questions at a Party and then go change into your Aluminum Ductwork costume and all your fellow Partygoers will wonder who THF is this guy that knows all ?? Keg is Opitional.
This is a friend of mine that his office offers cash prices for costumes. He won three years in a row. See a trend/theme? He is 6'5" and about 275. Now that I think about it, it's a guy I heard of.
A number of years ago (many) my wife made me a Jolly Green Giant costume. The kicker was the pant legs were made extra long and I wore dry-waller stilts under them. I was about 8 foot tall. She went as little sprout. We won every costume contest we attended. Walking on the stilts and dancing, yes dancing, required a fair amount of concentration so as not to fall. It was very interesting during a slow dance! We had a blast with those costume for a number of years. Too old now to be on stilts.
I saw someone do the same thing with stilts, only they did it as Frankenstein. I "assume" the guy was a dry waller as he walked around like it was nothing. He also went from bar to bar winning every costume contest. Probably one of the best i've seen.
