Title: Halloween 2011
Post by: Mike on October 04, 2011, 11:59:16 PM: I was talking to some fans today on facebook about Halloween and costumes today and realized I haven't seen a Halloween topic this year here on SBG.

Last year I was Mr. Clean for work and a Secret Service guy after that for parties with some buddies. The year before I was a guy from the blue man group. This year I am thinking maybe Charlie Brown or Elmer Fudd but have also thought maybe a basic pumpkin head or some metalic silver for a 'chrome dome'.

So what are yall dressing up for Halloween as?

I dont do Guy Fawkes Night either. Or Thanksgiving.

I do do Christmas though :)

Its lost its significance over the years, and now its basically a night where people shoot fireworks into the sky and have a bonfire in their garden. Pointless and very dangerous. The number of injuries on Guy Fawkes Night is incredible.

Post by: Chavster on October 05, 2011, 06:39:59 AM: Oh :( because Manila is quite an Americanized city as you know, so I was going to say that if you're there, I'm surprised there arent more Halloween things you could go to

It's been over two years since I've grown my hair out and it'll be interesting to see how much is actually left!

Dale Gribble would be funny and your g/f could be Nancy with some very big hair.

Post by: baldjoeg on October 06, 2011, 02:01:33 PM: I am with Arnie on this one. I don't dress up for Halloween either. Actually we don't do much other thaqn hand out candy to the kids in the neighborhood. We don't get very many.
Title: Re: Halloween 2011
Post by: Slynito on October 06, 2011, 02:04:09 PM: We don't get any kids here....we go to town to look at the kids in costume.
Title: Re: Halloween 2011
Post by: Mike on October 06, 2011, 09:11:51 PM: Way out here in the boonies we dont get any kids either. Im going trick-or-treating with my neices and nephews and some friends. Its going to be a huge group of close to 20 of us that always get together and go trick-or-treating just for fun.

There are some pics of me and my brothers last Halloween as secret service guys

Post by: Mike on October 26, 2011, 03:13:03 PM: Haha, made me chuckle. The ghost costume was the best though, the sad thing is that some people actually pay for it when they probably have a spare white sheet somewhere
