What's your favorite Halloween costume?

Sep 21, 2011 3:27 PM

Be it one you've worn, we forced to wear, saw at a party, or whatever; What's your favorite costume?

I must say, when I was 9 or so, I got a Ninja turtles costume with a shell and weapons, and I don't think i've ever been happier. Up until that point it was all hand me down stuff or what ever we had around the house, so this we huge for me.

In the modern era, I haven't done anything spectacular, but my buddy went as Optimus prime from the SNL sketch one year and I almost fell over I laughed so hard.

Late years I go as myself. Scares a lot of people, especially young ones in their 20's and 30's!

I had the most fun dressing up as Eric Draven from The Crow but didn't win any costume awards. Then another year I went as The Dude from The Big Lebowski and won a few costume awards. Still had fun with that costume but not as much as Eric Draven. This year..Tim Lincecum. It's a shame I'll have to cut my hair for that costume though.

@woothulhu: yes, thanks for the skit link, as I had not seen that one before. I am still guessing your friend had some explaining to do about where the costume came from?

@mike2219: Your screen name is mike, so i'm worried about what you're buying from that line of costumes, and hoping we're not at any of the same parties. :D

@mfladd: Here and there, but the joke was well circulate within our group or friends, so it went over well, especially when he added the transforming sound effects.

@trekkiegirl: I don't think anyone would be mad if you wore that one again! But if you do want some other geekish suggestions:

Amy Farrah Fowler
River Tam
Cara Thrace
Vicki the robot from the 80s show Small Wonder

We went as the Beastie Boys from the Intergalactic video one year, and it went over really well

Now I do most of my costume shopping at the salvation army or goodwill.

@woothulhu thanks for the suggestions! I don't think I can pull of Cara Thrace as I have long dark hair, Amy Farrah or River Tam would be interesting! I think those costume would be fairly easy to replicate too, I always have a hard time finding costumes that fit as I am quite petite.

@woothulhu: OMG Small Wonder!! I LOVED that show. I was thinking of being Vicki last year, but not sure if many people would get it!

BTW kudos to the tech that makes costume website ads next to this thread!

"Who are the adwizards who came up with that one?"

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
