I thought it would be fun for people to post good Halloween costume ideas. Things they've been, seen, will be this year, etc.

The best costumes I've seen:

Operation: the game from our childhood. It had tongs hooked up to a battery and creative things like a beer belly. The nose would light up and buzz if you hit the sides with the tongs

Pothead: An actual potted plant on his head.

I'd be interested in hearing about some creative couples costumes other than vampire and vampiress, cowboy and saloon girl, Dr. Kavorkian and patient.

Pictures would be cool too!

I went as the Bloodhound Gang "Discover Channel" monkey for 2 years, it was awesome! I got to hump any girl I wanted! And recite the lyrics.

The best ones I've seen (more memorable):

1. A "Summers Eve" bottle of Duesche
2. The 'suit traders' (two guys dressed like fur traders rowing down the street in a canoe with a big bear trap with some suits in it... and a few suits in the canoe (its from a skit from "THE STATE", a show that used to be on MTV))
3. Maverick from Top Gun
4. A palm tree (this guy had a tube about 2 stories tall attached to his back
5. Transformers
6. The cast from Space Ghost Coast to Coast
7. Adam (Adam and Eve, he just had a LEAF on his crotch, and was freeballing it)

um.... I tried to convince my girlfriend to go as a wall outlet so I could go as a plug but I don't think she wants too...

I hear Martha Stewart is a popular costume this year. A striped jail outfit, and frying pan with money in it go with a Martha mask.

I may be wrong, but I think that was from "Kids in the Hall."

...

I once went wearing a costume that consisted of:

White shoes (K Swiss)
White socks
White sweatpants
White sweatshirt
White gloves
White rope tied around my waist
Hair dyed bright red, face painted red, red dye dripped down the white sweatshirt.

What was I? A tampon. I have no class whatsoever.

A few years ago my friends and I went as Tetris. I was the square. The costumes were great, but I wouldn't use them if you plan to be indoors much.

It's not that creative, but I once went as a garbage bag.

I got one, put holes for my arms and legs, and got some duct tape.

I had the most fun dressing up as Waldo from the Where's Waldo? books. My friends and I went pub hopping on campus, and I would just stand there for a while, in the middle of the crowd like Waldo does in the books. I had people running up to me all night yelling, "Oh my god... I FOUND WALDO!!!"

My friends girlfriend went as Frida Kalo. She had the big single eyebrow thing going on too. He went as a cartoonish boxxer. He molded a big lump of clay to make a big lump on his head, and attached stars and little plastic birds, as-if he'd just been K.O.ed.

They're both artists, and they always come-up with the coolest costumes I've seen.

Unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interresting, because you can watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it"

Two art students I know put together some wire mesh frames, papier mach�, paint and a couple of those great big red jelly beans, and created a two-person costume - a giant pair of boobs.
I'm gonna disguise myself as a giant dildo and go trick-or-treating as Bill Gates.

Back in 1995, I delivered pizzas on Halloween in a Ferengi costume.

It was very profitable.
If you put a bullseye on yourself, don't be surprised when someone takes a shot at you.
