This Halloween, I dressed up as a Whatazombie employee.

This is marginally related to the BGDF in that it is marginally related to gaming. Whatazombie is a chain that I jokingly imagine exists in the Zombie Rancher universe. Zombie Rancher is a post-zombie apocalypse game that I put up as a free Game of the Month back in December of 2003:

I made all of the custom props: The paper hat, the Whatazombie logo on my shirt, the buttons on my shirt and apron. The only exception is the teeny button on my shirt sleeve. The hard-to-read blue text on the hat says, "Quality since 2048." The buttons I'm wearing say, "100% Meat!" and, "Ask me about our Dippin' Fingers!" I also made a simple button with the Whatazombie logo and name on it, and a button with the Whatazombie logo and, "Quality since 2048," underneath it. I gave away the buttons to people who complimented them during the party.

Oh, the teeny button says, "Zombies love books too," and has a zombie on it.

My wife dressed up as Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors. She also made a little Audrey II model, which she is holding.

Ain't she cute?

So, did anyone else dress up this year?

Nope

I haven't worn a costume since I was a kid. But, I'm thinking about doing something scary next year during trick-or-treat time... you know, scare the crap outa some of the older kids :)

Nice costumes! And the whole zombie rancher theme/setting is awesome.

Many of my regular clothes

Many of my regular clothes could be considered costumes, but my girl friend does no want me to wear them especially when I am working, ... due to social acceptation of these clothes. Yes I am weird, but no I have not dressed costume this year since I mostly stayed at home.

I did Captain Hammer this

I did Captain Hammer this year. Had everything I needed but the shirt adn I was able to re-create that with some full-page Avery labels and a nice pic off the net. Don't have any pics of it, though...

just had a great costume idea.

stick a bunch of game boxes to your clothes (obviously ones that you don't want any more, or buy some from charity shops) and go as a game shop.

Two friends did Dr. Horrible & Penny

It's a pity you don't have any picture of it. I'm sure it was good. Two friends of ours were Dr. Horrible & Penny.
