ZARDOZ’S HALLOWEEN OPEN POST ON COSTUMES

ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ UNDERSTANDS THAT TODAY IS A BRUTAL CELEBRATION OF “HALLOWEEN”. ZARDOZ WILL PERMIT THIS, AS IT LEADS TO MUCH UNHEALTHY BEHAVIOR AMONGST BRUTALS – RAZOR BLADES IN APPLES, DRUGS CONCEALED IN CANDY AND DESTRUCTION OF BRUTAL PROPERTY BY VANDALISM.

IN AN EFFORT TO MOVE THE BRUTAL CELEBRATIONS ALONG, ZARDOZ HAS GIVEN YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES, AN OPEN POST. DISCUSS YOUR DISGUISES YOU WILL DON, IN ORDER TO MOVE AMONG THE BRUTALS… COSTUMES, DISGUISES…THEY ARE FUNCTIONALLY THE SAME.

ZARDOZ WILL START OFF THE SUBJECT FOR HIS CHOSEN ONES:

Nice boots!
THE CLASSIC “ZED” LOOK

 

GO AS ONE OF THE ETERNALS

 

OR, FINALLY

AN EASY ONE, ARTHUR FRAYN

 

ZARDOZ WOULD INQUIRE OF HIS CHOSEN ONES – WHAT DISGUISE…”COSTUME”… WILL YOU USE TO WALK AMONG THE BRUTALS? COMMENT BELOW! ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.

      Richard Ayaode made that show.

      1. DOOMco

        he did. I love Darkplace.

  1. Rasilio

    I’m going as something truely original.

    I will be dressed as a middle aged software test automation engineer.

    It’ll be a stretch but I think I can pull it off

    1. Psycho Effer

      But will you use that disguise to cleanse your fellow brutals?

    2. I am reminded of an old comic…

    3. Hyperion

      But that’s already what half the Glibs are going as!

  2. DOOMco

    BOOK FACE

    1. That might be hard to pull off!

  3. Psycho Effer

    I have done 2 costumes this season. Saturday night I went out as Rockabilly Guy. At the office today I am Man-bun Ken. The office thing is a group project where a bunch of us dressed as Ken as a goof on one of our millennial co-workers who wore a man-bun one day and we will never let him live it down.

    1. MikeS

      That’s a great public service you are doing by never letting that guy live down his man-bun. Hopefully this sort of behavior spreads across the country.

    2. Nephilium

      Hey! Rockabilly guy is a culture, not a costume! Unless you’ve got enough beer and bourbon to share, then you’re cool man.

  4. Playa Manhattan

    My wife shot down my idea and my backup idea. My first choice was Harvey Weinstein. Second choice was Michael Jackson with an IV bag of Propofol.

    We’re going as Jack and Coke. Her idea, so I’m taking it as explicit permission to drink as much as I want.

    1. As long as she is “Coke”, right?

      1. Playa Manhattan

        “Original formula”?

        1. “Mexican Coke”

          “(((Coke)))”

    2. Would a Michael Jackson costume be evil racist blackface, since you wouldn’t actually have to use any blackface for it?

      1. Hyperion

        Well, Jackson was pretty much white before his death.

        1. Psycho Effer

          Black people have to whiten their faces to dress as Michael Jackson. I find it…disturbing.

    Attempted kidnapping at gunpoint this morning in my hood:
    http://www.dailybreeze.com/2017/10/30/man-arrested-in-attempted-abduction-of-13-year-old-in-rancho-palos-verdes/

    Horrible timing, bro. Horrible timing.

    1. I’ll see your attempt kidnapping, and raise you a dismemberment killing (in my town, they lived right on my route to work)

      1. tarran

        DuPage County records show Gail Peck filed an order of protection against her son in March 2016. She told authorities that after an argument with her son about him playing loud music he put her in a chokehold twice, telling her he was going to kill her. A few days later, she visited him in jail and told him she never wanted contact with him again.

        Jesus.

      2. Hyperion

        You guys are really out of your game here, I live in Baltimore.

        1. You guys are really out of your game here, I live in Baltimore.

          I concede the point.

          1. MikeS

            Florida Man has you all beat.

            (repost from morning links)

        2. Chipwooder

          In our prime, Richmond totally had Baltimore beat! Of course, even at our worst, we couldn’t outdo New Orleans – they were #1 in murder rate in 1994 when we were #2.

    2. Hyperion

      No van with candy? What an amateur.

    3. Gilmore

      Horrible timing.

      Seriously. they’re already too old by 13

      Has anyone seen OMWC this morning?

      Special Report: In warehouse of horrors, body broker stacked human heads

      Reuters

      The indictment alleges that Rathburn stored bodies destined for medical education and training in grisly conditions and dismembered them with a chainsaw.

      1. F. Stupidity Jr.

        Over the next three years, agents documented five similar cross-border shipments, one that included a severed penis.

        Probably going to sell it to China.

  6. The Other Kevin

    On Saturday my wife was dressed as a voodoo doll and I was going as a an old-timey voodoo guy. I had the skull makeup and everything. Just as we were leaving for the party, I got severe diarrhea and had to stay home, so I read Sherlock Holmes and watched the Blackhawks lose badly.

    Tonight my father in law and I are continuing our tradition of taking the kids trick or treating, while we smoke and drink. I’ll be going dressed as a bundled up guy in winter.

  7. libertarianjoe

    This year I went as Commander William T. Riker

    Had a good time making stupid puns and saying things like “energize!”

    1. DOOMco

      I was Lahey one year, wearing cowboy boots and a bathrobe. I even shaved the top of my head.
      It was great, I got to carry around a fifth of whiskey and say drinkey-poo and shitblizzard.
      I stumbled over everything, and got to act like a super drunk all night. (that part got easier as time went on)

      1. libertarianjoe

        That’s a great idea! Would have been really timely if you did it this year.

        Don’t know if I would have the dedication to shave my head, but one thing I can do really well is be visibly drunk at a Halloween party. Just a little drinky-poo, Julian.

        1. DOOMco

          My friend was a little bigger then, he was randy. He just wore khakis and offered me drinks very loudly in public. We had walkie talkies and as we’d pass some other college kids, I’d drunkenly ask them if they’d seen bubs running around.

  8. bacon-magic

    I’m going as someone who cares.
    I love Halloween, unfortunately I’m a single white male so handing candy out to the kids is frowned upon now. *has sad*

    1. Psycho Effer

      If you dress as your avatar, all will be forgiven.

      1. bacon-magic

        I wish. Might next year though that would be awesome.

    2. Hyperion

      Don’t be sad, I’ll dress up as something and go to your door. But I get the whole bag of booze and drugs.

    3. Mad Scientist

      Dress up like a politician. Then you can kiss all the babies and people will love you for it.

      1. bacon-magic

        I just need a fake smile and a bunch of dirt and scum hidden underneath my clothes right?

        1. Mad Scientist

          Politicians have bodies, yes.

    4. Q Continuum

      Forget about the candy and get a hooker.

      1. bacon-magic

        Maybe 2 since it’s a special occasion.

    1. Mad Scientist

      Yep. Cherry-picked to reach the conclusion he wants. Countervailing evidence: ignored.

      1. Hyperion

        Good grief, I didn’t get 5 minutes in. Another crackpot.

        1. Mad Scientist

          I have a theory that the great flood was not a great flood at all, but an accidental transposition of characters when the monks were setting the type in the bible. You see, instead of “great flood” it was supposed to read “fleat good.” Fleat is an acronym for Flared Energy Absorbing Terminal. They put them on the end of guardrails to reduce vehicular damage on impact. Everyone knows the Romans were great at building roads, and although no one knows who invented fleats, it was probably the Romans, or maybe the Mayans. Without good fleats, old people like Noah would more easily die in car accidents, which is why he’s not here today to correct this error in the bible.

          1. Hyperion

            So SUVs really were causing warming 6000 years ago?

            I think there may have been a flood, but it was a local event. I can’t remember now, but there was an older story named the Epic of Gilgamesh and maybe an even older story that was based on.

          2. Atanarjuat

            I’ve heard the Mediterranean flowing into the area that is now the Black Sea. Was it even dry during the ice age, or is that more crackpot stuff?

    2. Hyperion

      No mention of Mayan cities in the Bible? Well, gee, I wonder why. People outside of the Americas had no knowledge of civilizations in Central America until the 1500s. I wonder if that has something to do with it?

  9. MikeS

    This was not me:

    Man shows up at ND bar in KKK costume

    I’m gonna guess it was some Minnesodan who snuck across the border.

    1. Seems inoffensive enough?

      1. Chipwooder

        Worked for Cartman

  10. Gustave Lytton

    Arthur Frayn always looks like he’s wearing a pair of boxers on his head.

    1. Hmmm….maybe I could try that tonight!

  11. Chipwooder

    I’m not wearing a costume today, but my wife dragged me to a Halloween party last Friday and I went as Walter Sobchak. Easy enough – I’m already fat and own similar clothing, just had to grow a beard and get a fishing vest.

    Couldn’t find those glasses, though, otherwise it would have been perfect.

    1. Hyperion

      If you’re looking for cheap sunglasses, DOOMco is your expert. Or flannel.

      1. DOOMco

        …I actually was looking through a website for the glasses. Zunni no longer makes them.
        fuck.

      2. Chipwooder

        I scoured drug stores and dollar stores across the metro area and could not scrounge up a pair of aviators with gold frames and amber lenses. I’m sure I could find some online but I’m simply not that committed to dressing up for Halloween, which is why I picked Walter in the first place, because it required little effort.

        1. Gold High Definition Yellow Lenses HD Aviator Sunglasses HD-01 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KUJ4USO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_RRp-zbHCYBFAV

          Ten seconds on Amazon. Step into the 21st Century, friends.

  12. Mr. Mr.

    I dressed all in black — I’m Johnny Cash, the Devil, or whatever you prefer. In any case, it’s probably the only acceptable costume for an adult to wear out in broad daylight on Halloween.

    And then there is the guy who passed me on the street, wearing a nude-colored bodysuit with a three-foot dong dangling off the front.

    1. Nephilium

      Several years ago, on my way to a Halloween party, I stopped at a store to pick some things up to bring. I’m walking through the store, and I see a mother move her children to the other side of her so that the mother would be between me and the kids. At that point I realized that walking through a store in full Alex Droog-wear (including eyeball cufflinks) could be a bit strange for some parents. So I started whistling Singing in the Rain.

      1. Chipwooder

        Hi hi hi hi there! Welly welly welly well……

      2. So…a little of the old ultra-violence?

      3. Mad Scientist

        You were at the store to buy milk, right?

    1. Vhyrus

      I lived in 2 of the top 10.

      You’re welcome.

    2. Mad Scientist

      I have a hard time believing New Jersey is one of the least sexually diseased states. Perhaps I’m defining sexual disease incorrectly.

      1. Snooki and the Situation are not, technically, “diseases”.

        1. MikeS

          No, they just create new ones.

    3. Hyperion

      Of course it’s all red states, what do you expect from deplorables?

  13. Q Continuum

    Remember when I said there were no sexy Halloween titties? SIKE!

      Q: I may close early today. There’s a 15-day wait on the multi-women pics but the singles you can take right now.

    4. Tundra

      55 had such potential, but holy shit is her house a pigsty.

      Ladies, take a minute and consider your surroundings, please.

      That said, I’ll fight Mad for 1.

        You’ll get nothing and like it!

    2. But do you weigh as much as a duck?

      1. Mad Scientist

        We both float, so I’m going to go ahead and say, “yes.”

        1. bacon-magic

          We all float.

      You could be Yassar Arafat, but it’s already too late to not bathe for a year.

  16. R C Dean

    The last time I went to a costume party was years and years ago, when I was still studying aikido. The “full-dress” aikido uniform is pretty much a samurai costume, especially when you have an old-school katana/wakizashi set to finish it out with. Bonus: its the only costume I’ve ever worn where I was actually armed.

    1. Gilmore

      Wow, those ladies must be mad at each other

    2. Vhyrus

      I was the engineer from Team Fortress 2 once. I even had my CZ 82 tucked into my toolbelt.

      1. Psycho Effer

        This should surprise no one here.

      2. Oh HELL YEAH.

        I would want to be the pyro.

  17. Hyperion

    If I just put on dark sunglasses and drink scotch at my desk, does that count as Halloween participation?

    1. Mad Scientist

      Sure, but you have to get into the spirit of the season and set up something to scare little kids.

  18. R C Dean

    We used to have a Halloween costume contest here at work, including team costumes. My plan after last year was to have the legal department come as the galley slaves from Ben Hur, with me being the dude with the drum. Sadly, the contest was cancelled this year.

    1. Listen up, you are all condemned lawyers here…You exist to serve this department. Therefore, litigate well…and live!

        That’s my baby. you leave it alone sir.

        1. Mad Scientist

          What advantages does this motor car have over, say, a train? Which I could also afford.

          1. Lachowsky

            Trains are for progs and commies. Side by sides are for freedom loving red blooded americans.

    2. bacon-magic

      Survey tripod? Fancy.

      1. Lachowsky

        If you want your work to be level, its really the only way to go.

        1. bacon-magic

          Thanks for leveling with me. From now on it’s the straight and narrow path.

          1. Mad Scientist

            You’re such a square.

          2. bacon-magic

            Thanks for the visual arbitration.

          3. Mad Scientist

            Careful, he might level another narrow gaze on you.

          4. DOOMco

            he just flat out gave you some good advice.

          5. Mad Scientist

            You’re plum-right about that!

        2. That’s plumb crazy, some tubing and water works better.

      Nice work. When you’re done, want to swing by my house?

        I’ll make sure there’s TWO cases of Colorado’s finest for you.

    I’m going the lazy route this year, as I have the feeling we won’t be getting too many kids braving the upper 30’s weather for long.

        Put your fucking phone down and help.

        1. DOOMco

          he’s not wrong.

          1. RBS

            I was shocked, the most reasonable comment I’ve seen on Twitter.

    1. That is a terrible costume, Doom!

    2. Gustave Lytton

      Damn Amish drivers! Why oh why can’t they stay in Lancaster? And when will we finally have common sense car control?

  21. Private Chipperbot

    It’s freezing here in Michigan, so our group costumes of Tyvek biohazard outfits looks fantastic. I’ll be the drunk one.

  22. Atanarjuat

    I’m going as an Uber driver. No really, I’m going to make some money ogling* the hotties who I pick up.

    *In the least creepy way possible since it’s a college town and they’re often quite young. The students usually love me and often ask for relationship advice and stuff.
