Do you dress up for Halloween?
 

Interested to see how many grown ups on here dress up for Halloween. I'm doing a Mad Hatter.

Do you still enjoy that part of the holiday, as an adult?

What are you going as today?

Um no.

nope...
edit*it's ok for the kids, though.
they don't still put fish hooks in the apples, do they?
sec

We have a costume contest between departments at work over the last 3 years. Before that it was more than 20 years since I had dressed up.

yeah, they were dressed up at the liquor store this morning, too.
sec

I have young kids and its fun for them, so yes I do still dress up.

I stopped at about 10 like most people!

If Bob Dole's band is playing, we dress. We are the Soggy Bottom Boys this year.

Only for a kids Halloween party that we go to every year. But it's a week before Halloween though.

No. I grew out of that when I was 13-14.

ROFL

...three years ago

I went to a costume contest once as the Grim Reaper and didn't even make the first round. A woman dressed as a G-rated Bo Peep won the contest and I thought, "So I spent half an hour with black and white face paint, people I know didn't even recognize me, and BO PEEP wins? Screw this!" I have not dressed up since.

Now, I *could* have this year if some stuff I ordered had been shipped. It isn't a Halloween thing, but some Viking type stuff, and I will post pics of me in it when it arrives at some point. It's more for a collection and to visualize my inner warrior fighting cancer. And, I am a nerd, so there is that to consider.

Halloween used to be my favorite holiday. By far. The last couple of times when I was young enough to dress up and party, I went as a news reporter and interviewed people on the street. That was a blast.

But, ever since I got married, the allure of ****ing girls in slutty costumes just feels more like Gitmo torture, so there's no point. I'll pass out candy to kids and go to bed by 11. The rest of it is pointless.

When I took my kids trick-or-treating (stopped years ago) I would "dress up" in black sweat pants and a long sleeve black sweat shirt with glow in the dark Halloween themed boxer shorts over the sweat pants. So from a distance you would just see the boxer shorts. I was The Invisible Man. That's as much effort as I was willing to put into it. We went all out on the kids' costumes though, almost always completely home made.

A white man in sweats. And I am not answering the door.

I dress up as Shania every Saturday so some little Halloween won't stop that.

Good luck the Fuhk Tahrds are already out.

Since you already have the overalls next year you could be....

Absolutely.

The boys are buzz and woody this year, so the wife and I are Mrs and Ms potato head.

Hand out candy myself while the wife and in laws take the boys around the neighborhood.

Some of you Fuddy duds are no fun

Shouldn't you be Mr Potato Head?

Depends if I go out for Halloween. This year no as I will be staying in to watch the Royals in the World Series.

I'm handing out candy in the driveway and putting the tv out there.

Scale of 1-10 how ghetto is that?

Spicing it up a little

Sometimes! Not every year though.

Been a black cat, Cat in the Hat, Statue of Liberty, bunch of grapes, Phantom Countess.

We always have family and friends over as well. Got some freshly butchered sirloin hamburger I'm gonna throw in some chili, crock pot apple cider etc. Should be a fun night, hoping the rain cuts out

Lots of pahty poopahs being outed in here. LMAO

Plus as a dentist, halloween is a great Holliday for business

I make a lime green punch with dry ice and floating eyeballs sometimes—and this year gravestone brownies, witch brooms ( pretzelss with cut cheese slices attached), mummies and a fruit pumpkin patch.

Usually put a fog machine out front but not this year.

When my kid was little, I played a game where she had to trade in pieces of candy for money. Quarters for bigger pieces with dimes and nickles for smaller ones. Only problem is she grew up with good teeth but became greedy! :harumph::D

Me tonight:

No. Get off my lawn.

I have dressed up for most halloweens since I've been an adult. I almost always have a great time. Trick or treat with the kids and then watch the drunks downtown. It's important for find that inner childhood from time to time. Showed up to work on Friday looking like Joe dirt and was the only person on the office dressed up.

The wife and I have gotten away to Cape Coral this weekend. We're at the resort and there is a bunch of people dressed up. We're going to also. I'm going as a Rasta and my sexy wife is gonna be a referee. Party time, everyone be safe!

Bah. Humbug.

My like of Halloween has waned over the past several years. This will be the first year I dont dress up and do something, even though we are still going to go by her parents house for a thing.

:clap:

Yeah I do every year BC my 5 year old nephew's birthday is this month and he has a dress up party to celeberate every year.

It's also totally worth it to go with friends to the costume themed bars and see the ladies dressed in almost nothing.

I dress to give out candy at my house. I think parents would get kind of testy if I showed up at the door naked.

I got my first trick or treater

Oh look it's Godzilla dressed as Superman

My grave brownies....just took the photo and added fog.

I do. Just for giggles though! :shake:

So, I get to stay home and give out candy while the wife and in laws take the boys out.

Is it weird if I sit on the front porch and drink whilst handing out candy?

Straight out of the bottle ? or is your beverage in a costume too?

It's in a yeti coozy cup. So dressed up.

If you do that, I think you're obligated to pour one for the parents.

:thumb:

We took the kids out a few years back and one of the houses was giving the parents Jell-O shots.

Totally ok.

And it's also ok to attach your business card to any piece of candy you hand out.

Damn, didn't think of that.

I don't th8nk I have any here though

When I was in dental school, we would all go to a buddy's house in North KC and sit on his porch and hand out cany. One year we handed out toothbrushes and floss.

It didn't go over well, so the next year we had to step it up a notch. We ended up getting 2 kegs of Boulevard and letting patents have a cup on us for a drink.

We had almost 500 kids that night. It was awesome.

Your business is going to suffer if you can't think outside the box.

I am worried for your kids.

I know. It's not looking good

Can I give out only my business card and no candy? That would cut my costs at the same time that it generates revenue.

No that's just ****ing cheap. No one wants someone who is that ****ing cheap.

....looks like the Lewdog house is handing out tricks this year.

I am a penguin tonight. I will dress up as long as my friends are hosting costume parties.

If I do it with the small children, they'll never know. I'll just put my hand in their bag and make a sound like falling candy.

LMAO

Buy a ****ing bag of Snickers man. And eat a few yourself.

Do you guys ask children to tell a joke before you give them candy?

Little Iron Man: Mister, are you Otis the Drunk?

I ask for sonnets. You have to give out less candy that way.

"Come back next year, Timmy, when you have a better grasp of Shakespeare."

Apparently that's like a stl thing, telling a joke for candy.

I was never into Halloween as a kid and stopped dressing up by the time I was ten. I think I've dressed up maybe once since, which was for a friend's party and went as a pirate.

I almost decided to dress up this year and go as a Jedi but I'm glad I didn't because it's 91 degrees here today and I would have been a mess.

My lab is a jedI every year, mainly because it's the only dog costume we have and I'm not spending more miney in a dog costume.

Our shorkie is chewy

So will any of us see a girl in a costume that's NOT a princess? I really worry about the creativity of girls in the Disney era.

We should have a contest between Dane and your lab to see who makes the best Jedi.

This isnt our dog, but she's basically identical to this one as you can sorta see in my profile pic

That's Dane.

I need to see the dog, but Dane is going to be hard to beat.

I didn't even get out of my pjs today.

It's been a good day.

First trick or treaters of the night were two young children dressed as Pugsley and Wednesday of the Addams family. Very nicely done costumes.

Second trick or treaters were a really big guy in his thirties and a guy in his fifties, both wearing flannel shirts, jeans, and masks. I think they might have been homeless guys. Their costumes weren't very good, but they were scary since I thought they might barge into the house and kill me.

I just passed the 100 mark of kiddos

I currently stand at two children and two homeless guys. Life in the city.

Now up to four kids and two homeless guys. Halloween is officially a success.
