Reigning LFL Champion

I took my son out trick-or-treating tonight. He dressed as a gecko hunter, because his favorite animals are lizards, specifically geckos (which he pronounces as "geicos," like the insurance company...damn TV).

Apparently, a gecko hunter dresses all in green and carries a butterfly net filled with soft, stuffed lizards.

Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I get a kick out of kids coming up with their own concepts instead of just wearing a store-standard costume.

I remember that most of my costumes when I was a kid weren't store bought. Although I also distinctly remember having a store bought Gizmo (from Gremlins) costume; one of those plastic smocks with the name on the front.

Had a couple of those... one of the devil, and one of Oscar the Grouch (which was actually pretty good for a "name on front" one, because the smock was of his can, and it had the name as a sign hanging off the top.) Other than that, I remember being a snow leopard one year (and wore the costume Mom made me as pajamas afterwards), and I think a vampire one year. Don't really remember many other times.

Although I remember my sister going as a wave one year. Little sister was always rather avant garde.

2007 Sovereignty Day Fishing Champion

I'm diggin' the Geico Hunter... Even Steve Irwin had to start somwhere...

As to Halloween, well, Down Under we don't really celebrate it, as such. It's starting to be pushed a bit by some of the stores, but until it is truly commercially accepted it won't take off. Still, we've had the odd trick-or-treater in the past. Nothing this year though, and we have both a high school and a primary school on the street at the end of ours.

Best costume I have ever had for Halloween is easy. I was the infamous "Toilet Paper Mummy", circa age 6 (We had an American librarian in on a study program and she organised a whole halloween thing). You know the one... You have to shamble along because if you move too fast the paper will break... You can't sit down, bend anywhere or do much of anything, but it's worth it, because no-one else is a mummy...

Let's see... my costumes were a Ninja Turtle, a skeleton, a ninja, a pretty damn scary ghoul, and Batman every other year.

It may or may not have become apparent to one or two of us that you have something of a passing interest in the character...

I was Dracula several years in a row after my mom made me a big cape out of felt. One of my favorite costumes was from when I was in college and dressed as the Devil. I put together a suit with a red dress shirt and a black tie, and found a pentagram tie pin and some rubber horns at a costume shop. It was simple and elegant and I thought it kicked ass.

Home grown Satan Costumes are easily the best. Had a friend at Uni who got hold of a burgundy smoking jacket and wore that with black dress pants and a black silk shirt, then used gel to set some of his hair into horn shapes which we then sprayed red for a subtle horn effect. To top it off he stood around all evening with a cigar in one hand and a glass of port in the other. Classy...

Sounds like it kicked ass, all right. Home-made devil costumes really are better than the stereotypical ones you find at the store.
