i know a guy that rented an orange jumpsuit from the county sherrif's dep, stole some honey and went as an escaped convict

honey? i don't get it.

I think he meant money ... just a wild guess though. I could be wrong, however.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

no honey

he drank the stuff straight out of the bottle

Gross.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I don't get how that ties in with convicts... although it makes me think about the maple syrup chug in Super Troopers.

good movie

the joke was that he was living off it i guess

the costume certainly didnt require it

I've got a bath robe that looks a lot like a jedi robe, I think as a
last minute thing I'll go out and buy a toy lightsaber, then wrap some
yellowy off-white cloth around my waste, then wear brown pants with
more of the same cloth around my mid-calf down to my ankles. The only
problem is that the sleeves are too short to be a jedi robe, and the
color is a bit off, kind of greenish.

Crap, now looking at jedis on google image search my idea of what a jedi looks like was way off.

Instead: a light brown button-up shirt, the robe, a pair of khakis
(sp?), and a brown belt over the shirt, I just need a lightsaber. I
just hope its not too hot to be wearing a bathrobe on top of a
long-sleeve shirt, I do live in Texas after all.

Edit:

I think my wrong idea about how a jedi looks was partially because of
the first/last three movies/chapters, in which luke had the leg wraps,
and I don't know where the waist wrap idea came from.

o

I don't like all my yummy sweets to be eaten by some strolling around kids.

So I decided to dress up in black clothes and a long black leather coat and a criminal like black hat.

So I go out at night pretending to be some mafia boss and scare the s**t out of the sweet-buggers.

Or instead I'll go for a walk in the close forest. I don't know yet.

Never try to be perfect - just try it and make the best out of it

So, I showed up at work in a black skirt and a baby-blue sweater, with long black straight hair. I am still getting used to the heels.

But my co-workers can't stop laughing. I have a feeling that I might win the custome contest today.

I took pictures already, but I don't have the connection at work to load them up. Just be patient.

i hope you can hear me, im laughing as hard as i can

haha, it suits you :biggrin:

Very nice. I too dressed up as a member of the opposite
sex. It involved tights a skirt (shortish) and a tight top
exposing my ripped abs with my hair in pigtails (man, long hair makes
being a chick easier). No pictures unfortunately though :sad:

Satch, I know it sounds weird but you make a pretty hot woman...

Some kids came to our house trick-or-treating. We gave them some crap, then locked the door lest any others came by. Its not something thats done around here usually.

I'm missing some lipstick and a more general 'hipp' appearance. But anyways: Alone the idea made me smirk.

A few years ago I dressed up as a girl as well. There was a costume contest And I made second place. After the tomatoe.

Did you disguise your voice as well?

I didn't want to go overboard with bright makeups and high-heels.
I intentionally tried to dress very conservatively and not draw
attention to myself. This way, the effect is much more dramatic
when people realize that there's something strange about the woman in
front of them.

One of the doctors last night couldn't even recognize me at
first. It took her a whole minute to figure out why everyone was
laughing so hard around me. She thought I was a new hire.

Allright; now I see. So your plan obviously did work.

And I missed it again cry. I could have disguised as your husband, though...

First your honeymoon and now Satchmo dressing up as a conservative lady... What next?

Satchmo going skiing in the bavarian mountains?

Excerpt from The Los Angeles Times:

Killer Sought Solace Online

Before Orange County shootings, 19-year-old pleaded for help and pondered suicide.

By Kimi Yoshino, Mai Tran and Christian Berthelsen
Times Staff Writers

November 1, 2005

In the weeks before 19-year-old William Freund donned a cape and mask and went on a shooting rampage in his Aliso Viejo neighborhood, he reached out for help on the Internet.

He wrote more than two dozen online messages in October, asking for a "real life" friend and saying he was contemplating suicide. He also threatened to start "a Terror Campaign to hurt those that have hurt me."

The messages paint a portrait of a troubled young man struggling with Asperger's syndrome, a neurological disorder described as a variant of autism that hampers people's ability to interact socially. He revealed his anguish and frustration on a website, wrongplanet.net, used by people with Asperger's.

In a prophetic message written Oct. 16, about the "Terror Campaign," he also said, "My future ended some time ago." Other postings included "Everybody hates me" and "I feel like I need to kill myself." He also disclosed that he had bought a 12-gauge shotgun and had gone online to buy ammunition.

Members of the online community for Asperger's tried to reassure Freund and offer suggestions, and volunteer moderators tried to find his parents.

Their efforts failed.

On Saturday morning, Freund put on a dark cape and paintball mask and entered a neighboring house, killing Christina Smith, 22, and her father, Vernon, 45. He then shot at a house across the street and tried to fire at a neighbor, but the shotgun jammed. Then he walked home and killed himself with the shotgun.

Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said investigators did not know what sparked the shooting or why Freund targeted the Smiths. "We're looking into his mental health at the time of the shooting," he said.

An autopsy completed Sunday showed that Freund died of a single gunshot to the upper torso. Toxicology tests are being conducted, but Amormino said, "We don't expect drugs and alcohol set off his bizarre behavior."

What may be the best clues to what set him off could be the messages Freund left behind in postings on wrongplanet.net. The website was created by people with Asperger's syndrome and intended as a place they could post comments, share experiences and talk to one another in online chat rooms. It also offers articles about the disease but is not intended to be a authoritative medical source.

Those with the disorder are often described as loners who have trouble communicating and may not fit in socially.

They couldn't be found, even by the newspaper journalists.

But doesn't this kid remind you of half-dude? We shouldn't be too harsh on him. Otherwise we might read about him in the newspaper one day.

Threats Online: Is There a Duty to Tell?




An Aliso Viejo man's menacing postings foretold his rampage. Chat room operators wonder how they would handle a second case.



By Kimi Yoshino, William Lobdell and Christian Berthelsen

Times Staff Writers

The operators of an Asperger's syndrome message board on which an
Orange County teen threatened a "terror campaign" in the days before he
killed his two neighbors and himself said Tuesday that they felt no
responsibility to have alerted authorities to the threat.

Yet within a few hours of the shooting, there was soul-searching and
second-guessing among members of the online forum even though they had
tried to seek out the shooter's parents before the incident.

The case has renewed questions about the responsibility of website managers to monitor and act on violent comments made online.

"There has been some talk of what do we do in the future when somebody
posts. How do we handle this kind of situation?" said Dan Glover, 17,
co-founder of wrongplanet.net, a resource for people with Asperger's
syndrome. "It's difficult. Whose responsibility is it?"

Those
are among the many questions raised in the aftermath of Saturday's
shooting in Aliso Viejo in which William Freund donned a dark cape and
paintball mask and terrorized his neighborhood. He shot and killed
Vernon Smith, 45, and Smith's daughter, Christina, 22. He fired at a
house and tried to shoot another neighbor, but his shotgun jammed. Then
he walked home and killed himself, firing once into his torso.

The shooting came days after Freund posted messages threatening to
"start a Terror Campaign to hurt those that have hurt me." In other
messages, he wrote of buying a gun and ammunition and contemplating
suicide.

Website moderators tried to contact Freund's parents
but did not want to call police, fearing it would complicate his
already difficult life. They did alert authorities to Freund's postings
after the shootings.

Some of the website operators said they
felt guilty and sick to their stomachs. Many agreed they would learn
from the experience. Already, they were debating privacy policies and
better oversight of the online forums. And one of the founders said
they would probably do things differently next time.

Experts agree they had no legal obligation to contact authorities.

"Are we going to impose a legal obligation on a 17-year-old and a
19-year-old who want to do something good for people and to take the
time to read all the postings and figure out which ones they need to
react to and which ones they can ignore? The law has generally said
no," said Jennifer Granick, executive director of the Center for
Internet and Society at Stanford University.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -- Toulouse-Lautre, Moulin Rouge

Hmm, interesting read. Unfortunately it is a bit of a hard future
situation. If every post as such results in police contact and
stuff like that, the MSN "My Space" thing must be shut down.

All those melodramatic emo kids are going to start a riot...

Hahaah, bet none of you thought of this.

That's sweet!

Ha ha.

That's awesome.

This guy I used to be friend with posted a thing up on his journal on who he was: Patrick Bateman. :biggrin:

I wonder if he quoted Christian Bale the whole night ... and carried around business cards.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I read more about the nineteen-year-old killer with Asperger's
syndrome. He was the butt of all jokes at his school, and when he
tried to find acceptance online, he was taunted and rejected
again. When he made comments about suicide and homicide, people
thought he was joking.

I think he's someone like half-dude. Unfortunately, when I made
the comparison earlier, I turned it into a joke too. All the
people who dismissed the Asperger victim earlier as a joke regret it
now.

I wonder whether half-dude could have Asperger's syndrome. It's
not easily diagnosed, even by mental professionals. Language
problem is one of the traits for those afflicted with Asperger's, and
perhaps we shouldn't harp on people's inability to spell perfectly.

I just don't want to be one of those people who regret only when it's
too late. People with Asperger's are often interpreted as being
rude or angry. Even though they lack the skill to make friends,
they desperately need companionship and understanding.

We should all try to be nice to each other, and give the benefit of the
doubt in this online community. Because even with emoticons, the
real intention of the post may be lost without communicating face to
face.

hm.. i don't understand.

I didn't want to create a new thread -- so I decided I'd just bump this old one.

The men's swim team annually dresses up as a random theme for one night
when we're cheering on the girls during their 3 day championships which
were this past weekend. Last year we had 1 guy dress up as Waldo
and the rest of us were the people of the world.

This year we dressed up as smurf. Here we are:



Please note smurfette on the left and papa smurf in the red hat and pants (and beard).

That is all.

haha , next year.. i'm gonna make a GIANT snark costume.. it's genius!!

i'll use stuffing to fill it up :biggrin: .

my head will prolly be around the belly
and my arms will prlly come out of the sides..
