Halloween 2013

I cannot believe what the costumes look like for 5 year old girls. You people that make costumes should be ashamed of yourselves. Stella will be picking from either Minnie Mouse or the most frumpiest looking SuperGirl ever. Ryan will be some fire-monster looking thing.

I wanna kill myself for not getting a photo but the party we were at the other night were a couple dressed as Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham from the Rumours era: She with a frizzy blond, draped sashes, long flowing stuff and a tamborine; he with those big glasses, demin shirt and floppy hat. It was a home run for anyone who got it. Lunchpail insisted he was going to be a ninja this year despite not knowing anything about martial arts or having any interest in them. He doesn't even watch Ninjago. We get to the party and realize that every 7 year old boy in Brooklyn is also a Ninja this year.

I will be the father of Elmo and Stephen Drew.

MK had to dress up for yesterday's Family Halloween Concert at the high school. He affixed the MLB logo to the chest of his umpire jacket and number 66 on his sleeve and went as Jim Joyce.

Guess that one decided not to go into baseball and that's probably a good thing; I bet all the other players would have made fun of him with that name.

Ballpark trips, robot-drawing, and Spider-Man pajama set notwithstanding, YoungerPooper's kinda gone Full-On Girl in the last few months, in a major way. So, yeah, Cinderella/Disney princess it is for trick or treating, with a 30 percent chance of changing into Flamenco Girl for an evening birthday/Halloween party. (I might don a dragon hood to match the former outfit.)

Lorcan is Raphael , and two if his classmates are going as TMNT too.....they seem to have made a huge bounce back recently....I have watched the original movie with Lorcan a few times....so bad it's good.....

Man - TMNT was big when my daughter was little, and that was 20 years ago!

Manning the door as myself, scary stuff ... boo!

Fman99 Oct 28 2013 06:07 PM Re: Halloween 2013

Fboy will be "Annoying Orange," the star of quite possibly the most insipidly stupid kids show on our DVR. Fgirl will be Minnie Mouse. I attended a party this past weekend in my own costume.

Is that in a flask in your pocket?

seawolf17 Oct 28 2013 06:25 PM Re: Halloween 2013

Little man is Link from "Legend of Zelda," little girl is Pinkie Pie from "My Little Pony." My wife made both costumes. If you don't know Zelda ("Robin Hood? Peter Pan?") then you have no idea who he is, and if you don't know MLP ("A horsey? A bunny?") then you don't know who she is. But if you know either, they're really fucking dead on. The Link is particularly exceptional, I think.

Seriously, can white people famous or not stop using black face, there have been a few instances already... the Utah Jazz actually thought this was cool to tweet .....or something working there did

I wish I'd thought of Sexy Edgar Allen Poe.

metsmarathon Oct 28 2013 08:26 PM Re: Halloween 2013

minimm's mema (that's "maternal grandmother" in munchkinese) made him a freakin' sweet iron man costume. the arc reactor even lights up, thanks to a savvy mechanical engineer's recommendation of a sylvania dot light. pictures will happen in due time. me, i have a standing zero-effort costume where i wear glasses and turn into clark kent. nobody's caught on yet, so its cool.

Not that blackface is ever a good idea, but I mean, I knew a guy in college who went as Adolph Hitler for Halloween, and to his sick credit absolutely nailed it (helped that he was a short obnoxious ROTC guy). Today this guy is a big-time spokesman for one of the biggest companies in the world, I see him on CNN sometimes.

metirish Oct 28 2013 08:30 PM Re: Halloween 2013

Oh man , I'll be keeping an eye out for short obnoxious guys on CNN.....should be easy to figure it out..

MFS62 Oct 28 2013 09:45 PM Re: Halloween 2013

One of the cartoons in my Sunday paper (forget which one) said the scariest thing seen on Halloween would be mother-daughter Miley Cyrus costumes. Later

metsguyinmichigan Oct 29 2013 07:09 AM Re: Halloween 2013

My daughter likes to make her own costumes, and is going as "Pepper Potts" from Iron Man. I have no idea how she's going to make that work...

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Oct 31 2013 09:43 AM Re: Halloween 2013

I think I kinda like Miley Cyrus now.

Vic Sage Oct 31 2013 09:50 AM Re: Halloween 2013

This is the first year both kids are trick-or-treating without me and mrs. sage. I am happy, and a little bit sad. But they both worked on carving and painting the pumpkin last night. my son thought we should carve a big one eating a little one, with 2 other small ones looking on in terror. So that's what we did. I'll be stuck home giving out candy. Which is ok, but not as much fun.

Frayed Knot Oct 31 2013 08:47 PM Re: Halloween 2013

I was sort of using the Bacardi Rum logo as a model. Fuzzy photography aside, it does look kinda cool in that I've got it lit via an internal flashing light so that, in the dark, the bat seems to just appear for a brief second then fly away only to return again a few seconds later.

iron man is ready to trick or treat

Ceetar Nov 01 2013 06:31 AM Re: Halloween 2013

0 tricker or treaters. at least, after I got home at 6:20.

Mets – Willets Point Nov 01 2013 09:06 AM Re: Halloween 2013

A light-hitting, defensive shortstop and a furry, red monster go trick-or-treating.
