Darth_Rob Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hey. I was just wondering if any of you are celebrating Halloween, and if so, what your costume is. Also, I was wondering if Halloween is a holiday celebrated internationally. So all you guys from outside the U.S. had best let me know!!! Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!

DarthTofu Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Based on projects that my sister and I did in sixth grade, I can tell yout hat there is a rather wide spread "Day of the dead" holiday in South America, in Dominica and Peru for certain. The holidays are sort of like Haunica and Christmas- they're at the same time of year and sort of celebrate the same thing, but still have a fair number of differances (*That thing about Hunicca and Christmas wasn't meant to offend anyone. I appoligize if it did offend and would like to know how it did to avoid the mistake in the future). I think that the Day of the Dead includes offerings to the dead and is when the dead are supposed to walk among the living or something along those lines, and that a platter of food is left out for them or something like that. As for Trick-or-Treating, i'm a High-School-Freshmen, so you should figure that out... It means that I'm going as someone younger than myself! In reality I might go Trick-or-treating, or I might just give the kids candy then go out later in my "Under Cover FBI agent" costume, complete with jeans, a T-shirt, and my air-soft gun, possibly. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aenivae_Ikeda Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm being the Phantom of the Opera. I made a mask in art a couple weeks ago and bought a really cool traveller/fedora hat that looks really good with the clothes I'm wearing. So yeah, basically I'm going to walk around singing loudly all halloween until my throat ruptures and I die.

AdmiralToguroAni Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 My girlfriend and I are attending a costume party. If I can find the parts, I'm going as Walnut from Phantom Brave. She's going as the healer class. I figure most of you haven't played these great Ps2 strategy RPGs. If you like grid-based strategy games, I suggest checking them out Count Dooku is the strongest Star Wars character as depicted in the movies. All hail Christopher Lee.

Darth_Rob Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 I DO like those types of RPG's, but never heard of the title. I may have to look into that. My gf's friend is throwing a party, so me, her, and our two other friends are going as a maurading band of pirates. I found this crazy link that gives you a pirate name after taking a quiz, and my pirate name is "Mad Tom Blackwell". Pretty suave. As a side note, the last time I went trick-or-treating was last Halloween (I was 22 and a tad bit embaressed to be out), when I went as "Darth Alf". I basicly wore this crazy black outfit with an Alf mask and a Darth Vader mask over it (it was pretty hot). That was nuts. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!

Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm not being very original this year. I'm just going as a Redcoat Officer from the Napoleonic Era. Should win me the costume contest at work though. History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General_Crespin Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Hannukah. But, no, I'm not dressing up or anything. As a matter of fact, I'll be on the road, I just realized. http://crespin.xwlegacy.net/pics/Shadowkeeper99a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 What's the prize? Last year is was a $50 gift card for our store (Zellers), which I suppose is pretty good. If I win I can buy Revenge of the Sith. There is a $25 gift card for second place, but unless I trade in some HBC points for a Trande-and-Save, it will cost me more money to get it. Ah the joys of being the over-piced competitor of Wal-Mart! History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance.

Albeit, were it not for Wal-Mart, many more people would have died from hurricane Katrina (Very sad pictures of some six year old giving a thumbs up for back to school sales while people walk in the flooded floors taking what they need to survive) 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Rob Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 I hate to say this, but I work for a Wal-Mart here in NY. I work in the accounting office, which is a pleasant hole-in-the-wall where I spend my days counting tons of money. Sort of like in a Vegas casino . But I must say that Wal-Mart goes above and beyond for the consumer, but really likes to kick it's own employees square in the knickers. As for the Hurricane Katrina, Wal-Mart donated like $17 million right after, and continued to raise money at the store level for weeks after. I think our store did something like $6000 or so. But don't get me wrong, I still hate my job and can't wait to find something better and bounce outta there! Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!

dinochick Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I did not dress up for Halloween, but I did make a SW costume for myself and three other friends (a Padame, Leai, and two Obi-Wans). We wore then at our annual Society of Vertebrate Paleontology auction a few weeks ago: http://www.dinochick.com/SVP/svp_2005auction.htm http://www.dinochick.com/dc_saber_banner_02.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Wal-Mart converting? And good pics, Dino Chick- I don't have the arts and crafts ability to make anything that good- I specify more in either building large things that do mundanely simple tasks or just blowing up stuff that's cute and fluffy. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that theforce.nets costume boards can be very helpful, along with another site whose URL I don't have on this computer, but I will post it tonight when I get home. It has been a great help to me. http://www.dinochick.com/dc_saber_banner_02.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
