Halloween isnt really celebrated in Japan, but on Friday I did a lesson on it in my high school. In Japanese high schools, students all wear uniforms. So on Friday I borrowed a student uniform, and dressed up in student uniform for my classes. All my kids did a double take when I entered class to teach.

I think these are good ideas: an Oompa Loompa, Wheres Waldo, Hamburgler, Luigi.

If anybody comes tricking or treating around my place and I open the door I will strangle them to death with an Australian flag!! You know my views on nationalism but I'm prepared to be a nationalist when it comes to the americanisation of Australian Culture.

It's funny how Halloween established itself here in germany over the
past 5-6 years. Immense. I think it's all a big marketing trick to
get people to buy more useless season-related products..

I'm gonna dress up as death.

yeah, holidays are all wicked commercialized. especially Christmas...in the season of giving (AKA buying a lot of stuff from large-chain stores). there is a reason they start doing christmas themed ads in late october...buy stuff early, buy stuff often.

i think the oompa-loompa idea rocks. this one guy i know completely wrapped himself in duct tape from head to toe...

I'm dressing up like a chick from the 50's with a pink poodle skirt, saddle shoes, and pigtails.

This is slightly off subject, so I apologize for that:

If you think Halloween is bad for being too commercial, look up "Sweetest Day" online. They celebrate it in some parts of the Midwest, USA. The Simpsons made a reference to it with their episode with 'Love Day."

Here's the history of the holiday, kind of interesting:

I dressed as myself today at school, but I dressed as more myself then usual, so I was like dustin squared... I had on my pijama pants, my awsome bowling shirt, and my suspenders... I looked so darn cool and everyone had to ask me what I was.

Trick or Treating without effort into your costume is lame. If you're not willing to put some work or creativity into your costume, why should I give you any candy for it?

It's like the high school kids that put on a plaid shirt and say, "I'm a lumberjack."

Uh huh.

Or just wearing a mask. That's silly too.

Im going to be a pimp with the related blinged-out accessories (huge ring, super-huge necklace pendant, and fake-ass watch)

My girlfriend has the female-equivalent version of my costume.

Its overdone, I know, but its still fun.

i agree with kevin. when i'm giving out candy i give it out based on how kick ass you costume is. people with bitchen costumes get mad candy. people with crap costumes get like a sucker. and those kids that showed up last wear with no costumes got a had full of corn flakes. i bet it was fun picking that out their bags.

The idea of Jeremy and Amelia pimped out entertains me to no end.

i wanted to line my drive way with bales of straw and corn stalks in a zig zag, so kids had to follow the path and couldn't see my steps, and sit by the steps with my buddy dressed as scarecrows sitting on either side of the bucket of candy and playing dead. then take turns scaring the kids, as they would assume it was the old trick where one of the two is a dummy and one is a person.

catch um either way.

I wanted to be Raver Jesus for halloween, Glowstick Halo and all...but unfortunately schoolwork took priority.

Soooooo I was forced to create my own last minute costume:

I am Boron! All it took was 10 balloons and some tape.
