Fry deeeeeeeeeee!
All right, class. I know you’re all antsy and wiggling in your seats, but I need you to listen up for a minute. THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
Narm, I saw that! You totally just gave f.B a wet willy. THAT’S ONE STRIKE.
Okay. Now, I- Lexa! I saw you pass that note to Maxie. Bring it up here and read it in front of the whole class! Oh… it’s just a picture of Channing Tatum shirtless. Um, I will be confiscating this for… sexytime RESPONSIBLE TEACHER purposes.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Moving on.
You may recall that a couple days ago, I promised you all an “entirely awesome, boozy, and a little bit illegal” giveaway when I hit 20,000 comments. WELL, it just so happens that it… happened. Yesterday.
Talk about anti-climatic.
(Lizzy, I can SEE you rolling your eyes back there. Cut the ‘tude, MISSY, or I’ll cut it for you.)
No, seriously. This whole 20K thing is badass- I am humbled and honored that y’all swing by here at all. SO, let’s do this thang!
Drumroll, please, Jill Pilgrim! And make sure you don’t hit moog this time… you have NOT convinced me that wasn’t an accident.
duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh
(Pssst… CYMBALS, Kellie! The cymbals now!) *CRASH*
I will be giving away one bottle of the amazing, the most holy of holies, the nectar of the Gods themselves…
FIREFLY SWEET TEA VODKA!!!!!!!!
What what?!
Ooooo…. shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny…………
PQ, sit down! I don’t care if JP pulled your hair, you are ruining my moment!
Now. If I’m being perfectly honest, I hate when people make me do work in the comments. I already read the post, now you want me to, say, think up a question for you to answer? Look at a website and pick my favorite something? Answer some discussion query like I’m sitting in 10th grade English class?
(I really, really hope no one takes offense to that. There is nothing WRONG with doing said things. I just don’t LIKE them because I am LAZY and it is all I can do to write my OWN thoughts on your post down, nevermind answer an additional assignment. Personal preference, peeps. Don’t get perturbed.) … Yes, I like alliteration. Why?
alexa, caviandra, I see you totally not capitalizing in your notes. Just remember, I will take off half a letter grade… Alice! Marie! I told you girls you weren’t allowed to sit together anymore! Not since you put GUM in brookem’s hair. Not cool, ladies. NOT. COOL.
ANYHIZZLE.
As much as I hate assigning “work” in the comments, I truly need your help. You see, I love, love love dressing up for Halloween. BUT, I never think of the perfect costume until November 1st. Which is great and all, except I inevitably forget it again in the following twelve months, and always end up buying cat ears and painting fucking whiskers on my face and going as a naughty cat or some shit. Whatever the hell THAT is.
SO, my dear e-friends, I am enlisting your help.
In order to be entered for the Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka (fuck yeah!), you need to
A) be 21. Um, and if you aren’t, I’m not sure you should be reading my offensive drivel anyway.
B) suggest a highly awesome/hilarious Halloween costume for B and I to dress up as this year.
C) be in the US/Canada. Sorry, my international loves… Mama ain’t rich.
Things to consider:
- f.B and his lovely Miss Bianca are totally game for a group dress-up. In fact, I’m sure the rest of the gang would be down, too. This doesn’t have to be a coupley thing.
- I already tried to get B to dress up as Green Man last year. Nothing doing. (I was going to be Pathetic Girl 43 and it would have been AWESOME. Except for the whole “B not being able to see anything or drink” aspect.)
I so could have pulled that off.
I think I just insulted myself.
This is FUCKING SWEET TEA VODKA, PEOPLE. Choose wisely. And don’t even pretend like you have something better to do on a Friday. I’ll choose my favorite idea next Wednesday… and flattery will get you everywhere.
GO!

B could go as a Tampon Ninja and you could go as Aunt Flo – dress up in all red with some war paint on!!
I mean, come on, it’s YOU, it says we’re TMIT and now we’re TMIH!!!!
Costume ideas:
Idea #1:
You: a shark
B: Fonzie in a motorcycle helmet
You can be the death of Happy Days.
For added effect, you can leapfrog through the streets.
Idea #2:
B: Gorton’s fisherman holding a baseball bat
You: A fish costume but with painted on bruises and cuts
You can go as battered fish.
Erik and Sookie!!! For sure! Just throw some wigs on and you’re golden.. Congrats on the billion comments
Congrats!!!! That’s awesomely amazing to have so many dedicated minions
Last year my group of friends went as a round of shots. (Dirty Girl Scout, Starry Night, Peppermint Patty, Redheaded Slut, etc.) Some of the guys were in on it too and dressed up as a Three Wisemen (Jack, Jim, and Jose) and Crown Royal. It was definitely an entertaining costume.
I am taking myself out of the running for this bc I am 100% convinced you are going to land in jail and GUESS WHO IS GOING TO HAVE TO BAIL YOUR ASS OUT?
ummm last year for halloween at work my friend mike and i dress up as the SNL cheerleaders and did the U-G-L-Y cheer. that was pretty fun. OR you guys could go in the electrical socket/ plug costumes, you know where the guy has to “plug” into your “socket”. hahah ok thats just lame. Congrats on all the comments!
You want us to be creative?! Before you give us liquor? That’s not possible… After the liuor, sure, I can be creative, but before… umm.. no.
But congrats on all your comments, you’re awesome and deserve it.
I’m going to think all weekend about costume ideas (thank you, I will now not be able to write my 6 page paper or read my millionty chapters of textbook) and maybe I’ll have a flash of brilliance.
Costume Ideas:
#1 – B is a broken condom, you’re pregnant
#2 – You’re a used tampon, B has war paint around his mouth
#3 – You have a blue dress with a HUGE white stain, B is bill clinton
#4 – You and B dress up in sumo suits, and later on in the evening you and B and the crowd try to find the semantics of how morbidly obese people do it, like a horribly gone wrong game of twister.
1) Kanye West and Taylor Swift. You get to pick which one you want to be. There will probably be a few people who do this, though.
2) You as B, B as you. No lie, some friends did this one year and it was hilarious. But that also depends on what you’re doing for Halloween; if you throw a house party, it works out, if you go out…less likely. You dress like each other (during down time), talk like the other person, mimic their mannerisms. AND you don’t have to spend any money.
3) Obnoxious Washington, DC tourists.
DD and I dressed up as a plug and outlet one year. Which is not as original as some of the other ideas presented here, but I’ve gotten so many flippin’ compliments on that costume, it’s unreal.
And I’m sure you and B could make the most of such a costume. And yes, the plug can actually plug into the outlet. Google it.
someone else has all ready suggested this, but I’m not very creative when it comes to costumes. I think that you should dress up as Taylor and Kanye, and if you had another friend to dress as Beyonce, and follow you around… And every time you pick something up, B would say “Beyonce really deserves this,” take it from you, and give it to said friend.
This year, my friends and I are dressing up as the cast of the original terminator movie. I have the most awesome Linda-Hamilton-Circa-1984 wig.
You could be a spice rack! grab some little jars of oregano, rosemary, basil, cayenne; whatever …..and strategically place them in an ohsorevealing dress in your decolletage. Voila… a spice rack! I’m still brainstorming B’s side to that
I wasn’t going to go with this, since it’s a bit dated, but then I saw the “blue dress + Bill” idea, which goes back more than 10 years.
You as the Steve “The Crocodile Hunter” Irwin; B as a stingray. Of course you’d have to put a hole in the center of the shirt and have a barbed spike sticking out of your chest, but we’re all about reality here.
What? Yeah, like it was a suprise Steve was killed by animal. The only suprise was that it didn’t have really big teeth.
If you get a bunch of friends to go in with you, you could be a Death Panel!
Pimp. Ho.
Done.
Also, depending on my friend’s plans, my Boston trip might get postponed which means I might be sticking around in DC for Halloween…so I’m also going to throw in the 1920′s Flapper Girl/Gangsta idea out there too.
And MAKE JP STOP PULLING MY HAIR!
I’ll just give you the idea I’ve been cooking for myself…for a number of reasons:
1) I’ve never had a Halloween before (It’s an American thing…) so I’m going to give myself the permission to dress as a fairy. What? I’m a Halloween virgin! I’m like a kid!
2) I’ve never had sweet tea vodka…so it would be nice to try.
3) I had to change my url and pseudonym so I need your publicity because I feel very lonely at my new blog. (I’m Thrice btw)
So…my suggestion could suck…maybe it’s not creative (although I’ve been really thinking about it) but…I think you could go as the “Geek Goddess”. Get a white sheet, write some formulas like “E=mc2″ and some stuff and the benefits? You wear a fucking sheet! And you might look hot…but hey, you are wearing a sheet!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jon & Kate + 8. Bonus points if B wears the Kate wig, and you go as Jon with the lovely head-to-toe Ed Hardy. Friends can be part of the camera crew.
Channing Tatum… nom nom nom…
Jack Skellington and Sally would be really cute on you two…
I really don’t have an answer to your halloween costume, because I’m in the same exact boat as you – my costumes tend to come together on the morning of the 31st, which inevitably leads to a shit costume.
But if you think green tea vodka is good, you should also try Bacon Vodka (bakonvodka.com) because, come on, booze and bacon in one bottle? Yes please.
Oh, I did just have an Halloween idea – Dr. Horrible and the… girl from it. Great for B, kinda shitty for you.
Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife. I see tons of bleached blonde hair, mullets and leather. A lot of leather. You know, keep it classy.
I love Firefly. Love. Get’s me in the best trouble.
I have many thoughts:
1. I always win costume contests when I dress as Punky Brewster. You have the perfect hair color. B can be Brandon, the dog.
2. Captain Planet and his gang is always a good group idea.
3. Ellen and Paula.
4. The two German Shepards of Jon and Kate Plus Eight that keep getting sent back to the breeder’s.
5. The Four Horsepeople of the Apocalypse. Each has a color and theme assigned to them.
Two characters from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Not sure which two, up to you. Or Joan Holloway and Don Draper from Mad Men.
And um, it was totally Alice who stuck gum in Brookem’s hair.
Go as the people from Anchorman:
You = Veronica Corningstone
B = Ron Burgundy
Various other male friends for Brick, Champ, etc.
OMG…Firefly? That’s dangerous but so good. How about some loving here in Chicago?
Now for couple dress up….
- Doug Funnie & Patti Mayonaise (I was that w/ the ex last year)
- Donkey (you can fight who will be the ass)
- The Doctor & Companion (Doctor Who)
- Dwight & Angela (cuz Jim & Pam is too cliche)
- 500 Days of Summer
Now for a group dress up….
- TMNT
- The cast of Arrested Development (fb, Bianca, PQ, Maxie, Lexa…I know you want to)
- Alvin & the Chipmunks (draw straws to see who will be human & who will be chipmunks)
- Quadrants of DC
- Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, Turkey & Cupid (ever wonder what those characters do for halloween?)
I’m glad I’m not in your class — you’re an intimidating teacher…
And Adam and Eve. But only because I found this incredibly creepy picture: http://www.bestweekever.tv/bwe/images/2008/10/ADAN%20AND%20EVE.jpg
I got nothing. I hate costumes.
I say go naked. If the cops stop you, tell them you’re Adam & Eve.
mmmm thats the shizzie with some club soda!!!!!!!! I had two of those fourth of July. Clearly I deserve it, cus I can hang.
you wear tshirts that say I heart ceilings, and wear like foam fingers that say ceilings are #1 and you are “ceiling fans”
aaaaaah i think its brilliant.
I’ve never tried Firefly, but everyone keeps talking about how great it is. Steve received a bottle of bacon vodka for his birthday last week, but we haven’t tried it yet. What do you mix with that?!
Costumes…hmmm…thinking…
My friends and I are going as Ghouls gone Wild. Not sure how original it is, but I really like making my face look like a zombie…. Me +Scary + Sexy=just plain scary.
Oh, you know a bottle of Firely is going to bring me out of comment hiding! You + B = Nickelodeon’s Double Dare contestants – old school, baby. The costumes are cheap and easy to make – just get some red sweat suits and add the DD logo, throw on some knee/elbow pads & goggles (which you may already possess, ya freak), and you’re done. Slime optional. It was a winner for us!
If you want a group costume, I’m a big fan of superheroes and villains. It was a theme one year at the camp I work at, and I found it’s fairly easy to make your own Wonder Woman costume. Or Batgirl. Or Catwoman.
Oh LiLu…
I know how you LOVEE LOVEE LOVEE your wine so I was thinking you and B could go as:
You: Wine Wench and B: Grapes
-or-
B/c you love take-out so much (hey so do I!!) You: a box of chinese B: the delivery guy
-or-
You: White Trash (you wear a white trash bag and white leggings/tights if you want and teese your hair etc…may fav all time costume) B: Bubba (hes gotta do a mullet though!)
-OR-
this one is pretty good… maybe? I mean youre totally pretty enough (you said flattery goes a long way!!!)
You: Carrie Prejean the former Miss California B: The Trumpster!! hahaha!!!
-KS
Boo, I’m not 21. And I LOVE firefly. (I mean, I will when I turn 21. *shifty eyes*)
You’d be the bestest teacher ever!
RiLu, I don’t drink…funnily enough I had a dream that we met at a bar…yeah…anyhoots, I think your blog is awesome and congratulations on the 20K – BIG, BIG, deal – so happy for you, hon!
xx
And yes…it was a bar where we were eating lunch…way to start the day I guess…
How about a vintage Kermit and a Sesame Street pal? I love making costumes and would be happy to make something for you and B to wear. Just let me know if you need some help!
My daughter actually wore the Kermit costume in high school and got rave reviews.
I have a bottle and that stuff is dangerously delicious.
I think you should go as Jon Gosselin and Hailey Homewrecker or Kate Gosselin and then the other person could be her hair.
My co-worker just asked me if do anything that isn’t proper, so I’m afraid my suggestion is far less exciting/disturbing but it does not lack creativity. Plus, with enough Firefly I think you would find the TMI’s just roooooolllll on out of me.
One of you dresses up like a giant Trick or Treat bag and the other is a giant candy bar. If you wanted to go this route I could even help you make it (I’ve got experience).
I hope you find something wonderful through these comments!
Hahaaha! Pathetic Girl 43 would have been awesome! What if B went as night man and you went as day man? But then you’d have to dress up as a guy… You could go as Dee and Dennis when they are all cracked out. Or go as Charlie huffing paint!
Okay, how about you dress as a pumpkin and B wears a shirt that says ‘Peter’. Easy peasy.
Now, get me that vodka! And Channing! Or just Channing. Oh wait. He’s not part of the giveaway? Damn it.
I suck at this stuff. I should ask my kids though, they always have awesome ideas.
One time, I was a mad scientist named Dr. Harry Buttz. That was fun. The kidlets all thought I was the coolest.
God, my life is lame.
Beauty and the Beast–no costumes needed! lol
Please give me the vodka now. Thanks.
Go as your cats – you already have enough of their scents on you to make it believable…and ….for bonus, you can fart in people’s faces and make other people pee on themselves WITHOUT APOLOGIZING.
Hell, if you’re cats do this to you already and don’t apologize, why can’t you?
Here are a few more possibilities, including a picture of the original Kermit (body parts a little too small for you, but you get the idea!)
Wow, I totally thought my idea was great then i saw… well, everything f’ing above mine! But I’m going to throw it in the mix anyways….
Wayne and Garth- Trust me- you can have so much fun with this! Thrift store bleached jeans and jean jackets – old rock t shirts- homemade “WAYNES WORLD” hat… oh and duh- blonde wig for B.
You know what, you totally missed your calling as a grade school teacher.
How about going totally redneck as Dog the bounty hunter and his wifey with the large boobs. MULLET CENTRAL!
YOU will be target lady (kristen wiig). B will be “claaaaassic Peg” played by none other than JT. in a dress.
http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/clips/target/1099564/
i have bootleg cans of Cheerwine at home, but have never tried Firefly vodka. i’m ashamed.
I think you sould go as “The Walk of Shame” you know, black high heels, boxers, holding a black dress, smeared make up, maybe wearing a few condom wrappers a la TLC?
AH AH AH sweet tea vodka! A girl after my own heart, obvs. I love that stuff! I got totally drunk on it at my friends converting-to-Judaism party. So here are my predictably 90s-esque suggestions:
Mo and a GUTS contestant. This is totally what my bf and I went as last year. I wore my friend’s old tacky slutty ref costume and he ordered a GUTS t shirt online and got a helmet and elbow and knee pads. Genius.
http://www.templeshirts.com/
Legends of the Hidden Temple contestant. Come on. You know you want to.
http://www.collegehumor.com/picture:1719053
Oh, or, if all else fails, you could be totally freaky treasure trolls like these chicks:
http://www.coolest-homemade-costumes.com/images/coolest-troll-dolls-costume-35912.jpg
That does involve a lot of fleshtone bodysuits, though. Wow, this comment has gotten pretty lengthy. Did I mention I’m at the office right now? My level of productivity is obviously extensive. I clearly really, REALLY want this sweet tea vodka. Even though I could go to a store and buy some. But I’m poor. So pick me! Enhance my poverty with the gift of sweet, sweet vodka.
B a snake, and you a snake charmer
Or…if you like slutty…
You- a belly dancer
B- ultimate snake charmer http://www.scavengeinc.com/images/snake-charmer-costume.jpg
Off the top of my head? I’d have B go as Kanye West and you (durg) as Taylor Swift. I can just see the hilarity that would ensue. Plus, you’d get to paint B black…or get him a mask, but really? Where’s the fun in that?
i can’t believe alice and marie keep messing up my HOH with the gum!
ideas, ideas…. ill be away for halloween this year (sucks), but i had been planning on going as mia wallace from pulp fiction. because who doesn’t like to wear a wig? and b could be vince vega and you two could DANCE. yup.
I’m not entering your contest, because I don’t drink so I don’t need vodka (even though it sounds pretty tasty). I just wanted to tell you that that video is hilarious, I just subscribed to her. And you are awesome.
I’m over 21 and live in the U.S. and/or Canada, but I get alcohol as gifts so often that it’s coming out my ears, so please don’t include me in the drawing. But I have a costume idea anyway.
You and B go as Ryan and Kelly from “The Office.” His costume is easy. Just put goofy highlights in his hair. Yours is trickier since you don’t really look like Kelly. You’re significantly thinner and waaayyy prettier. Hmmmm . . .
So maybe it’s not such a great idea after all. Good thing I didn’t really need the vodka!
DAMN! Mine was totally Legends of the Hidden Temple…I lost by 2 comments
. My friends did it one year with the golden helmets and everything…it was a HUGE hit. Anything old school Nickelodeon would go over well, I bet.
My other suggestion is Jack and Jill (like Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water)…my date and I went to our “Famous Couples” homecoming in “little kid” clothes with buckets that had “Jack” and “Jill” painted on them and we got 2nd place in the costume contest. You can be pretty sure you’ll be the only ones with that costume.
Anywhosits, congrats on all the comments! I like whoever called us your “minions.” You can totally order me to do evil any time
.
Sonny and Cher.
you be Sonny, he’ll be Cher.
does your guy have nice legs?
(p.s. totally going to hell for this, but as Sonny, you could wrap a fake tree around yourself as part of your costume)
(p.p.s. since Sonny died in a skiing accident by hitting a tree for those of you who missed that tid-bit of news a few years back)
This is easy. You go as keyboard cat, and B (along with any of her cohorts) can go as one of the many awesomely awkward viral-inspired scenarios for you to play off throughout the night.
hmm, if all four of you go together, you could be MJ thru the ages. like: cute fro years, red jacket & glove years, stringy hair & aviator years, and dead.
…too soon?
Congrats on the 20K! Just think you should have charged us each a $1 per comment!……
So I ahve having a costume dilemma too! I love the walk of shame idea…
-Octomom- have babies falling out of your shirt and have B be a test tube or sperm
-I have been wanting to be smurfette and trying to get the BF to be Gargamel (since he is bald and I can add the hair patches)
-I went once as a blue man (bald cap) and dressed the bald BF up last year as it and he won the contest! When I did it I got the cap/blue makeup for $3 and then just wore all black and got blue medical gloves. I didn’t talk and everyone thought I was a GUY! It was hysterical!
Good luck!
so bad news is i won’t be entering, not b/c i don’t like my liquor mind you, but because i think it’s illegal to ship alcohol to GA (at least that what post office man said one day)
totally lame, but that’s what i get for living in the bible belt.
i suppose i don’t have any good news but i WILL keep making you work for giveaways because i’m unkind like that, and b/c i don’t give something for nothing…
i will say that the one time i asked people to leave thoughtful comments on a giveaway i got about half the normal entries so i suppose you’re not the only one.
and now i’m that obnoxious person leaving a ridiculously long comment. over and out.
Hmm…I keep hearing about this mysterious Firefly…must try!
Costume ideas:
-Jessica Simpson / Coyote
-A shark and a Tiger. Nuff said.
-Hooters Girls…or better yet, both of you dress as boobs and go as a Nice Rack
-Mullet/Mullethunter
-Chuck Norris and MC Hammer. Because Chuck Norris can touch MC Hammer.
If you are coming to my Halloween Party (http://the-life-of-mb.blogspot.com/2009/09/gift-day-friday-youre-all-invited.html) I can’t give you any serious suggestions, seeing as how there’s a costume contest and I refuse to lose. But if you aren’t going I would suggest something easy and homemade: Pirate (B) and booty (you wearing gold, particularly on the badonk). You’re always welcome to steal past costume ideas from here http://picasaweb.google.com/thelifeofmb/ACollectionOfHalloweenAdventures#.
Oh Firefly vodka, you make me happy….Ummm or just really hungover.
I suck at Halloween ideas, I am like you, I don’t think of anything good till it’s too late.
Um, duh, a plug and an electric socket. Only acceptable couples’ costume.
You could go as Tim Tebow, and Jesus Christ (wearing a shirt that says “I’m with stupid”)
I’m horrible at coming up with creative costumes, but here goes:
a) kanye west and taylor swift
b) a priest and a pregnant nun. and signs that say “forgive me father” or something along those lines.
fuck. that’s all i got. i just want the vodka.
I think you should go as silk spectre and Dr. Manhattan.
Unfortunately this isn’t my own creative idea since a couple I know went as this for Halloween a few years ago, but…Richard Gere and a gerbil. Horrifically and awesomely vulgar.
Dude I LOOOOOOOOOOVE Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka! It’s all I drink nowadays…that mixed with Lemonade = shitfaced Shannon! And I’m most def over 21 in fact I’m on my 20′s farewell tour right now
Costumes…hmmm…I suck at this. Since you referenced Angela is on of your posts maybe you could go dressed as Angela and B could go as Sprinkles
But dead Sprinkles, after Dwight froze him.
Mmm…Firefly Vodka. As a Southerner, you just pulled at my heartstrings.
Let’s see, Halloween ideas.
- Brangelina? Someone would have to tote around some little multicultural dolls though.
- Pac-Man and a Ghost? Or if you want to be in charge, Ms. Pac-Man and a ghost.
- Sam and Molly from “Ghost.” Claypot accessory is mandatory. Might be too soon though…
- Alan and Jade from The Hangover (aka, Zack Snuffalugus’s character and Heather Graham). Be sure to wear short-shorts and show your boobs too.
Ferris and Sloan from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Dee and Charlie (think hoochie outfit, cosmo, boxing gloves for Dee, forty in a paper bag, smelly shirt, and longjohn pants for Charlie).
Chick Fil-A cows.
I’m just want to vote for the “walk of shame” idea. I don’t care if this was a ‘voting’ post or not. so there.
A team from Supermarket Sweep! Red/Blue or Yellow sweatshirts, with collared shirts underneath. Awkward 80′s jeans (you could even peg them) and bad sneakers. Make your own price tag nametags and you are all set!
When I did this my friend and I also carried around giant jars of mayo, and a golden wrapped ham is great too if you can create that!
The parties/bars you go to will love it and totally get involved when you run in and scream “When you’re at the check out counter and you hear the “beep” – Think of the fun you could have on Supermarket Sweep!!”
Fun fact I’ve been waiting to share…
Circa 2000, maybe 2001, I worked in an office where I was the only employee, and we had a billing service come in for a short time until I learned how to do claims myself. The woman who came in once a week was the sweetest, and she had this adorable son who had just broken into modeling (by accident, he went with a frat buddy to an audition).
Gorgeous kid, she’ds brag about what a good dancer he was, how he was up for a Mountain Dew commercial, then Fast and Furious… he was an is Chan Tatum. He actually came in and took his mom to lunch one day while he was in town. Beautiful boy. Super sweet in person. Howz dat for St Pete, Fl? hahahahahha.
Costume: Morticia and Gomez from the *original* Adams family
Tina and I did it the first year we were together cause I’m 5’10 and she’s 5’4. We had so much fun going to the thrift store and putting together the look.
I’ve been wanting to do this for years but have never gotten around to it: you can be Your Psychic Ex-Girlfriend. You know, dress in black, have eyeliner leaking down your cheeks, scrawl random messages and his name on your arms, carry a Sylvia Plath book…never smile.
Costume Gold.
congrats my friend you deserve the 20K! everyone of them.
what about if you as a group dressed up as that muppet band?
i think that you and B should be these people though – http://johndotorgslashblog.files.wordpress.com/2006/09/shera.gif
oh vodka, mmmmmmmmmmm
but, oh, channing, YUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMier
anyway, youve got tooooonss of great ideas here!!!!
but for groups —
the wizard of oz crew
a 6 pack of beer
various bottles of liquor
????
im horrible at costumes… cant wait to see what you all pick tho!!!
Seriously I think Nighman and Dayman or Princess and Troll are it but here’s my suggestions because yummm sweet tea vodka.
Fanta girls for you and B.
Reservoir Dog characters
Milkman and Pregnant Lady
That’s all I got for right now but I’ll be brainstorming.
First of all Congrats on the comments. Second I think you and b should go as Jon and Kate minus 8. or Alice in Wonderland if you have a group Tim burton style not the cartoon.
Someone already suggested this, but if you’re looking for you and B, then I’d (second the vote for) Double Dare contestants. Knee pads, a helmet with a cup on top, totally genius.
If you’re going out with a group of friends, you could be Jem and the Misfits (or Holograms, but everyone remembers the Misfits!) 80′s fashion is totally back so it’s easy to pick up costumes on the cheap!
Looks like you have lots of good choices here
Congratulations on the comments. And really, reading your blog brightens my day! XOXO
Now for the costume ideas…I never dress up so I don’t have all the fantastic ideas others have like Mike!
1. I don’t know why but the first thing that popped into my head is you dressing up as Madea, you know, from the Tyler Perry movies. B could dress up as Madeas brother who’s always getting high
2. you two could dress up as a priest and a nun but in a sexy non religious way!
3. B could be Hef and you could be one of the bunnies!
….I will be waiting for that firefly sweet tea vodka as I have never tried it and would be good right about now…my booze supply at home is in the very low danger zone!
Even better, Charlie and the waitress.
My “clique” and I are going to be the heros from Southpark. (watch episode 2 of season 13 of Southpark) One guy is going to be “The Coon” I’m “Mysterion” and we even have a red-head to be “General Disarray” and my boyfriend is going to be “Professor Chaos.” So. Fucking. Excited.
Do it, because you’re on that end of the country, and I’m on this end, so it’ll totally be cool.
LOL reading all the suggestions on here makes me laugh at 3 in the morning…*sigh* I wish I was celebrating Halloween, I could’ve been a dirty maid…but oh well
How about the flintstones? Sounds fun…you know
hope you get a great idea before Oct 31 comes… 
(yay birthday month!!!)
I’ll give you my couple/group Halloween costume idea from last year (that was NOT used, BTW… no not bitter at all) because I love group-themed dress-up: the Flintstones, Fred and Wilma and Barney and Betty! You can find some really awesome or really cheap (depending on your budget) costumes online. Let me say that I think you’d rock as Wilma, totally pulling off those stone pearls!
P.S. The reason for our dress-up charades last year was because we were on a cruise ship for Halloween. And there was a costume contest. Guess who WON the costume contest??? Fred and Pebbles. Guess who LOST the costume contest??? Batman and Catwoman (what my BFF and her hubs dressed up as, she has a weird Batman fetish… ok more TMI Thursday on Friday!).
Yup. We would totally won.
~ Jen
Beyonce and backup dancers from the “Single Ladies” video. And bring the music with you.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! Yours is hilarious as well, thank you!
And you should just glue a bunch of milk cartons and egg shells and paper plates and crap to a white garbage bag, cut some holes in it and go as white trash.
~J (most definitely and kind of unfortunately over 21.)
You should dress up as a giant brick and B should be in overalls. When people as what you are, you’re the brick and B is the brick layer.
*ask
Sorry! Obviously need some Firefly right about now…
Ok, had one more:
Taylor Swift and Kanye West!
I was going to suggest characters from Mad Men but Marie already mentioned them. How about this one? LOL!:

My favorite interactive costume of all time is to go as an Autograph Book. B could go as the tourist who’s forcing everyone to sign his…you. Then he doesn’t have to do anything but find a Hawaiian shirt and a straw hat or whatever.
You, on the other hand, dress in all white and tie some colored sharpies around your neck and invite people to sign you all night. Trust, the more drunk everyone gets, the more interesting this gets. And I made rules about signing my vagina…that’s just awkward. It’s easy, it’s cheap, it’s fun, it’s interactive.
i’ve never even heard of this firefly you speak of, but it’s vodka so i know i’d like it, haha.
anyhoozits, halloween costume ideas.
a ball of twine? and just have axe murderer play with you guys all night? haha.
boxes of franzia? that’s always a winner.
Ok so here were two the Hubs suggested:
Giving Birth – Unfortunatley someone would have to be the baby
http://brazenbaretoe.webs.com/baby.jpg
Or Facebook and/or Twitter Page
http://brazenbaretoe.webs.com/facebook.jpg
Stumbled upon your blog. I love Halloween!! I’m going as Octomom this year and I can’t wait.
Never had that Vodka, but I’d love to try it!
OK, here is my Halloween suggestion….. Ever heard of the Duggar Family? I’m sure you have. They are on TLC popping out kids like crazy. Their website it at http://www.duggarfamily.com. I think they are on #19 or so right now. B could go as Jim Bob (the dad) and you could go as a vagina.
If I give you the best idea, maybe you can send me a cheque for some vodka instead?
I think you should go as the Tooth Fairy’s evil twin. You need to be dressed as a fairy, but all in black. In one hand you have a huge wrench, in the other a book of stickers. If they give you money, you give them a sticker. If they don’t, you rip out their teeth.
Hall and Motherfuckin’ Oates.
Hmmm. I SUCK at Halloween costumes too. Bummer because that sweet tea vodka sounds awesome!
fuck fuck fuck, I can’t think of anything! **help please!** the other 100 comments above me with awesome ideas are hilarious!
Ok, I was stalling and still couldn’t come up with anything, so I’ll just say congrats on the 20k comments! That’s damn incredible lady! And I can’t WAIT to see what you guys end up dressing up as.
OOOH!!!!
Ideas:
you: sheep, B: farmer
you: exhaust pipe, B: banana
you: chinese handcuff, B: fingers
you: vagina, B: penis
you: Mimi, B: Drew
you: laptop, B: tv
you: a mouth, B: a tall drink
you: innocent, respectable lady, B: cat calling hispanic on the corner
you: penis with urine dripping off the top, B: cat lapping at urine
you: bloody tampom, B: bloody condom
you: pregnant, B: Michael Jackson
you: Suzanne Somers, B: Thighmaster
1. I’m def. over 21 so send me the booze
2. Here are a couple of ideas I was thinking about but I’ll probably just end up going as some slutty version of something
90′s themed
- Legends of the Hidden Temple (if you have a big group, each couple could go as a team (green monkeys, purple parrots)..and then someone could go as Olmec the talking stone head. (thank children of the 90′s)
http://hiddentempletees.com/
- I think someone already said it but the cast of Doug (Patty Mayonnaise, Skeeter, Bee B. Bluff, Porkchop)
- The kids of Nick’s GUTS
Misc.
- You as the new sexy Britney Spears and B as the fat K-fed
- B as a pig, you as a bottle of hand sanitizer
That’s all I got : )
Sheeeit, all of the costume ideas here already way good.
Wait wtf, nobody suggested tigers? I thought you guys were all about that?
Way over 21, so looking good, or would be if I wasn’t way over 21 ( so that’s 1 from 1).
Don’t do Halloween – I’m English after all (1 from 2)
Which, incidentally, puts me outside your postal zone (1 from 3)
Gave up drinking over 20 years ago so that’s (1 from 4) not bad for an out of 3 competition…
P.S. Like the name checking of your readership evidently I was in detention during roll call
lion tamer…do a whole circus theme w/ a group
You guys could go as Korben Dallas and Leeloo from The 5th Element. You know, B could be Bruce Willis and Lilu could be Leeloo. Get it?
ROLLING MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you.
Umm..dress up as Liz and Lilu, two bloggers on opposite coasts who are in luuuurve.
I just had sweet tea vodka…I have your picture…I recreated it.
You should dress up as something very clever and funny. Like a thing? Or a person? That’s funny. I don’t really know. I haven’t dressed up for Halloween since I was like 13. But gimme the vodka anyway. You keep talking about it, and I was all like yeah, that seems good, but I didn’t really want to buy a whole big bottle and then be like “Ick, this sucks” so I never did and then I went to a place with people (I know, I know, it was totally weird) and I tried some for the first time last week and okay seriously? With ginger ale and lemonade? Yeah. So whatever, just rig this thing and gimme.
Thinking of a Halloween costume stresses me the fuck out every year. What about Mario and Princess Toadstool? Or NeNe and Kim (from RH of Atlanta). You could convince B by telling him he gets to have double Ds all night.
There are so many freaking good costume ideas here.
You be the unicorn and B can be the unicorn hunter.
Alas, I’m not American. Nor was I mentioned in your whole teacher/student/admonishment diatribe.
So, I ain’t playin’!
And I had some really great ideas too.
HA ha- love it- That’s Dee from Always Sunny in Philly- Great blog btw
http://kellyannstudio.blogspot.com/
Dear Lilu,
Halloween! I may or may not be more than a little excited about this impending occasion of AWESOME.
Peanuts. Charlie Brown, Lucy Brown, etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Peanuts_characters
Seven Deadly Sins. I’m sure you guys can come up with wild costumes for Gluttony and Greed.
Care Bears! What? Childhood is something you just can’t escape.
The Killerbees from SNL. Be sure to carry around dirty magazines with the pages stuck together with honey!
Good Luck!
J
P.S. Sweet tea vodka? I feel like Jesus hates me and has been keeping me in ignorance of this amazing gift to humanity.
Okay, all the ideas I had for Costumes — Silk Spectre and Dr Manhattan / Brad and Angelina w/ tons of multi-racial dolls (I did that one two years ago
) — were already mentioned. 
But at least now I remembered to set the DVR for Always Sunny!! Yay!
Awwww *sobbing* I hate living so far lol
Why not dressing as sookie and bill? oh that’s too easy? or you know, you, B, f.B and Miss Bianca can dress like startrek characters. Just saying!
Wow 20K!
You should be Blossom from Powerpuff Girls and B can be Mojo Jojo. And the day is SAVED, people.
Sweet Mother of All That is Holy! I have never seen this Firefly but I want it in my stomach now! Costume? Er… I don’t know, butch lesbians?
PS. The legal drinking age in Canada is 18.
Totally tried this with a certain lady we’re both acquainted with last weekend. It’s oh so dangerous!
I’ve head great things about the Sweet Tea Vodka! I’m dying to try it!! how about you be a bottle of the sweet tea vodka and the other outfit can be another yummie beverage!? that could be fun! haha
How about Tron characters? You just get bike helmets and tight fitting black clothes and then attach tons of those glow stick necklaces and bracelets along the lines of your body. I’m pretty sure you can buy those from dollar stores.
Ok bald bF and I may go as Daddy Warbucks and orphan Annie!!!
How about Oprah and Gail. haha
Congrats on the mile-marker! (Comment-marker? Wait, that’s not alliterative…um, comment-count…er?)
Anyhoo…YAY! *throws streamers, dances around in a twirly dress, hands you balloons, etc, etc*
I will see if I can come up with a costume idea worthy of LiLu.
ahhh this is hilarious! i love this class lesson
i suck at ideas. not much into alcohol so i’ll pass BUT, i’m commenting
It didn’t come out wrong… it sounded perfect to me. (rawr!)
Justin and i went as Juno and Bleeker last year, and everyone loved it!
http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v507/198/81/9324740/n9324740_52975722_5005.jpg
He wears a clear plastic bag, with a nipple looking hat, you wear a personal trampoline.. go as Trojanman and IUDgirl- The Birth Control Squad!
I don’t have any ideas for a halloween costume, as I still do not know what I am going to be, but I must say, I am addicted to the sweet tea vodka. Try it with lemonade. Its like a lethal arnold palmer. There have been far too many nights where I don’t feel like I’m getting drunk (NOTHING TASTES LIKE BOOZE!) and then BAM! There I am, falling up and down the streets of boston with a shit eating grin on my face.
Sometimes I wonder why you havent been on “Blogs of note” yet. thats stupid.
I’m not good at this. I always go as a cat, if I’m forced to dress up. I prefer to wear my orange sweater and some jeans. Festive and easy.
What about Muppets? You could all go as different muppets. Make B be Kermit….
…and you could be Miss Piggy.
Yep, it’s lame. Sorry.
Hmmmm……A Spatula and a potholder? Tongs and salad bowl? Contents of the salad? Ranch dressing and a Hotdog, and then someone else can be an Australian cattledog ( http://thm-a01.yimg.com/image/321fe8778d38343e ). ( those are contents of a recipe I might include in an online magazine project….so it’d probably only be funny to me…)
Obnoxious mimes?
B: Edgar Allan Poe
You: green fairy
OMG!!!!! Are you saying you will be offering up this scrumptious vodka you speak of frequently on here but I can’t find where I live?!?!?!? I’ve been a reader for a while and feel like I know you two crazy kids thru pictures and crazy stories you so awesomely share with us. As the adorable power couple you two are, you could totally pull off a costume I’ve always wanted to try……..B is all tall, dark and handsome in a 20′s pin-striped mafioso suit……and you are rockin a fringed out flapper dress!!! Also I saw a washer/dryer set on buycostumes.com while ordering mine. Congrats on your comment milestone also!!!!!!!
Firefly is the most delicious booze ever. Wadmalaw Island, SC what what
a. 3/21/1986
b. two ideas:
1.Picasso’s blue period: cover a tee or leotard or what have you with tampons dipped in blue paint.
2. Serial Killer: Get a bunch of mini boxes of cereal (eat the contents or dump em out) and attach them to a tee. Stick knives in them. Accessorize as desired.
3. I live in NY!
1.) Thank you for reposting an old picture of my husband. – Mrs. Burn “The Demigod” Tatum
2.) I can be in the US for the prize drawing, does that count?
and 3.) You and B should totally go as Me and Teddy. Because this year we’re totally going out as Lilu and B. I’m now wondering if I can rock the look, vag and all.
PAC MAN and a ghost. You could wear a cute little tube dress cut bottom like a ghost and tape felt eyes on. weeeeeeeeeeeeee! That’s what I’m going as this year on the west coast.
You and your friends should dress up as Captain Planet & the Planeteers (so you’ll need 6 people total). My husband has been trying to put this together for some time now but has not been able to find a someone of each Planeteer’s ethnicity as of yet (for a while he was seriously trying to find people of each Planeteers ethnicity to become his new friend just so he could pull this off – a little offensive I know, but very key to his plan). For extra effect, you and your friends have to memorize the Captain Planet song and sing it all night long.
Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone
… keep it classy
You could be Red Riding Hood (http://www.wetseal.com/catalog/product.jsp?categoryId=199&productId=23712) and B could be the Big Bad Wolf.
What about the McPoyles? You: oversized tee, no pants, pigtails. Him: tighty-whities and a bathrobe. Both: unibrow, rubber machine guns. Bonus: you get to lick your lips disgustingly all night. Oh, and take hostages!
And while I may not live in the US most of the time, I am coming back for a month in December, and will probably be in the DC area for part of that. So, as a bribe, I will totally share that vodka with you if I win.
First of all, I am made of at least 8% vodka by this point, so I think you would be doing both you and I a favor if you just handed over the vodka… now. You should know better than to toy with me this way.
1. I am 22!
2. Remember the cowboy (woody?) and his girlfriend from the second Toy Story movie? Or Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr. Seuss. I also love the McPoyle idea from it’s always sunny! SOOOOO funny!
Dude, I got to this party WAY too late…
Yes, I am booze legal. Yes, I am in the States.
And YES I think you guys should be American Apparel models. Look as young as you can, put on weird stuff from the store that makes you look vaguely naked or like BJs are JUST ABOUT TO HAPPEN. AND give your face the expression of having just realized that you’ve been roofied.
Voila!
A plug and an outlet. Seriously do it.

Oh and vodka for me. Por favor.
What if you don’t like sweet tea? I assume then this particular vodka should be overlooked.
Where’s the bacon vodka? Now that’s something I might enjoy.
I’ve never tried it, but I sure as hell want to.
And for the record, I don’t like sweet tea… but I LOVE this stuff.
Right here: http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/09/colonel_sanders_costume.html?CMP=OTC-5JF307375954
And B can be the little chicken in the bucket.
Few things:
PQ had it coming
If an Arnold Palmer is tea and lemonade, then a John Daly must be Firefly and Mike’s hard Lemonade.
Costume- Ike and Tina. Seeing you in a Tina wig with powder on the nose and B painted up as a black man, is the best idea ever.
I don’t even know what I’M going to be for Halloween… and I agree with everyone else-decide while sober? So not fair!! Need to go have a few then get back with you. Hopefully it won’t be too late. Can never have too much liquor in the kitchen!
You could always go as angry wheelchair lady and B as large Negro Modelo… Gives you an excuse to be rude and mean as h**l to everyone for a night….
Oh, I totally forgot B…well…I guess he could be…ermm…Bill Gates? lol, I bet he makes his bitches dress like geeks
Mix the bacon vodka with tomato juice (or V8, your choice) and it makes a SCRUMPTIOUS bloody mary.
*laughing my ass off* great ideas!
I too have to take myself out of this:
I’m not funny enough to think of anything
All my costumes in the past have revolved around Asian stereotypes
Even though I’m 25 i have the maturity of a 16 year old- I’m probably not eligible.
Yes, it’s amazing in lemonade. Pretty much the only way I drink it.
