    Default Need some help deciding something...

    This may sound like a strange request but I need an idea for what to go as to a party. The theme is "What you wanted to be when you grew up", but of course no one is going as what they actually wanted to be (How am I supposed to dress as an historian? ). I am drawing complete blanks on ideas, so I thought I would chuck it over to you guys. Just a few conditions:
    1) Fairly cheap
    2) Easy
    3) Possible to dance in
    4) Suitable for warm temperatures

    So go nuts! If I like it I'll go and take pictures.

    A streaker.

    A.) Won't spend a dime.
    B.) Easy
    C.) I suggest swing
    D.) I'm sure you'll be fine.

    So go nuts! If I like it I'll go and take pictures.
    Time to deliver! Kidding, of course.

    Any suggestions on what to wear from my Aussie mates who know what a Bogan is? So far I have:
    1) Ugg boots
    2) Flanno shirt
    3) Black undershirt (VB or some other beer company)
    4) Fake mullet (I have very short hair)
    5) Holden cap
    6) Jeans

    I would wear VB Shorts. My dad has a pair he got for free.

    They are short and very logo-ed.

    Wrap a sheet around yourself toga style and when chicks ask say you always wanted to be a senator. Gives you a chance to have a more than one line opener as you explain what that means, whereas if you don't have to explain then you'll already know you've found a keeper.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Wrap yourself in toilet paper, and go as a mummy. Then If someone asks what you wanted to be, say "Why Egyptologyst, of course!" You can even put on one of those brown jackets with elbow pads on over it for extra effect.



    And if the night gets too boring, you an always light part of it on fire and run around.

    Or not.

    I still have a photo somewhere from when my friend Jim did that one year. Hilarity ensued. Everyone loves the flaming mummy!

    I'd be tempted if I didn't plan on drinking so much

    Alcohol + Me on fire = Probably not the best combo.

    I attended a costume party as a scarecrow once. One of my wife's friends, dressed as a witch, came up to me with a cigarette lighter and gave me the "Wizard of Oz" treatment. "What's the matter scarecrow, afraid of a little fire?" and promptly lit my sleeve. Took 2 pitchers of beer to put me out. I gained massive sympathy points on that one, but I was more upset about the spilt beer.

    I would have, but I couldn't think how to do it. I saw a Castro mask and I was tempted to go as him though.

    And lol Sarathos, its so true.
