Wow, what a pretty nurse you make Bones.

You might want out of the hospital sooner if all nurses looked like that...


Wheels

I just puked in my mouth..

"It's not unusual..."

Oh, you were Tom Jones NavyNuke? I thought you were dressed up as a typical 1980's preppy dude?

Carlton Banks from Fresh Prince of Belaire.

Ah yes, I remember that show. Hard to believe Will Smith sang back then.

Will Smith sang "back then"?

Don't remember that song..

Oh yeah. That was back when he was the Fresh Prince with DJ Jazzy Jeff. Circa 1988, 1989 if I remember right...

Carlton made that show.

Oh yeah. Will had the star role, but Carlton was funnier than hell.

Whatever happened to him (the actor)?

He's been workiing off and on since the show ended.

Alfonso Ribeiro


Wheels

Bones=nurse...the irony

I totally missed that.


Wheels

Yeah we all know that Bones was a doctor not a nurse.

NavyNuke scared the hell out of me. That color of shirt/prep sweater/smirk - he's dressed as a Dookie (Duke Uni)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!budding Wall St. embezzler, or Congressman on the take...runnnn!

Oh you NC fans have no couth.

Less chat more pics Going to be hard to judge a costume contest without pics.

No, keep chatting! Then it just means I'll win.

Not so fast there bones, Navy's still in this!

It's too bad the staff can't post pics, even if they are barred from winning.

Uh, this has been mentioned...

What?! I must've missed it.

My apologies for delaying any other exciting entries in the mean time.

heh, I meant it has been mentioned among the Staff.

No wonder I missed it!



That many staff wanted to enter, eh? Some wild Halloween costumers at SimHQ Towers?

I would love to submit a pic but I haven't dressed up for Halloween since 2000.

Just posting here to even out the UNC:Duke ratio.

I must say that NavyNuke's shirt is a shade of blue tending more to the Durham point on the triangle. Curious...

Here is my homemade Transformers Soundwave costume from last year. Took a few hours to make out of some cardboard and duct tape.

It was interesting walking into house parties in this thing, turned a lot of heads!

LMAO!! You sir are a brave man.

One Halloween when I was playing in a rock band I put together a costume of Alex from Clockwork Orange. I had it all . . . the Derby hat, the cane, the long john underwear and sports cup, the fake eyelash. And then the bass player shows up in a stupid store-bought gynocologist outfit and gets all of the attention. His name tag said "Dr Seymore Muffs: Gynocologist." Sometimes effort just doesn't pay off.

My costume as Mr. Fonzworth Bentley . (Yes, I included the Wikipedia link to avoid any confusion.)

And for the record, Joe, Piper, I bought that shirt in Chile, so I don't think it's really one way or the other. I probably should have gone with a red shirt, since I'm headed to State!

Sperm costume from like 4 years ago. Wish I had a better pic of it though.

How about a better pic of that Girl Scout you're with?

ForSquirrels,

I remember that pic! Wasn't that gal you are in the pic with your gf?

v6,
boNes

Oh man LB, I would have loved to have seen you dressed up as Alex DeLarge!

We have a winner: the girl scout in ForSquirrels picture! She is smokin'.

I hope you have some contact information for her, ForSquirrels; we'll have to send her the prize.

I'd give her a merit badge.

That's one brownie I'd like to eat.

You win the best comment prize.

From last night...

"Ash" from "Army of Darkness". Yes, that's a Necronomicron under my arm and a Boomstick on my back holster.

boNes

OK, Now I HAVE to come up with something killer this year to beat you, Bones!

We should rename this the Bones thread.

We can tell he loves Halloween.

Bones looks more like Sam Rami than Bruce Campbell, though.

What else would I go as?

She lives in Charlotte now. Beach might have to be responsible for it.

Oh really? Hmm...we must get details from Beach then.

Ummm...yeah...Halloween...right....

v6,
boNes

Heres my daughters.

[img:center][/img]

Those kids of yours are super cute Kroll.

I think Bones finally has some competition.


Wheels

Oh, man! Now WHY did you have to go and say THAT?!?!?

Haha just kidding.

v6,
boNes

Oh those are cute costumes!

So how many times did you say "I feel the need...the need for speed" during that party?

I'll see your VF-142 Ghostriders and raise you a VF-103 Jolly Roger:




v6,
boNes

if it gets to a vote.

mine vote goes for the very cute girl in the pink plane.
The Fly girl makes it excellent ;-)

love the thread.

*edit
stupid typo's

Curses!

I woulda had VF-84/103 Bones, but my helmet's VF-142 so I had to keep it consistant. No WAY was I taking the real stuff off, even to put on JR markings. I had my eye on an HGU-33 for a while that I woulda stripped but the deal fell through.

Cool gear Bones! I think we're the only guys here with Tomcat gear aren't we?

(ps if you have an extra LPU-23 I'll give it a good home.. )

Yes, we probably are! I actually do have an HGU-33 with VF-84 markings too. Got a pic of the markings of your VF-142 HGU?

Heh, I was lucky enough to get THIS LPU....I want one of the new ones!

I also have this HGU-33 tha tI just wanted to play around with (T-2 Buckeye sold separately):



v6,
boNes

No fair including the cute kids!

Nobody can compete with that!

Wow, that's some really impressive gear you have Bones!

Um, Exactly what gear are you talking about ?


Wheels

Bloody eck!

Am I looking at SimHQ or Top Gun!?

Too cool guys, too cool

Thanks Squog!

Here's a shot of the logo, and my winnings from last year's Halloween party. Some valuable stuff in there IIRC, movie passes an stuff:



Forgive my non pilot stance. Beer was involved. Also, do SV-2 straps go over the CSU-13s like that? I hope I didn't go through the trouble of wearing a squadron colours t-shirt only to ruin the realism by dressing in the wrong order

This is my costume for this year. Plus black boots and gloves. Got help me if it isnt cold enough I might die before the party is over.

p.s. I know, it isnt a pin striped suit, it isnt a short brim fedora and it is a leather duster and not a double breasted canvas overcoat... still I think it looks acceptable.

I didn't see the movie but it fooled me.

Dude... it doesn't matter when a MASSIVE spider is about to land on you!!! run #%&*$# run!

Well, you're missing the MA-2 parachute harness (unless you have it integrated with your SV-2B. The straps would go underneath and around the back of the thighs and clip on the D-rings on the front of the LPU-21. (kinda hard to explain in text, heh).

Well deserved prize!

v6,
boNes

Scarily, I got what you meant bones. And yes, I am missing an MA-2. One of these days I'll get one. I always thought LPU-21s were helo life preservers and 23s were for ejection seat a/c. If that's true do you know what the reason is for having the two models?

Also, what's v6 mean?

Um, interesting signatures. lol

Will show you pics of my Vampire Hunter disguise tomorrow, will use it for an Halloween Special airsoft game during this night!!

Tomcat,

I meant -23 not -21, sorry. Typo.

and "v6": The "v" is ASCII art for a check mark. So, "Check Six!"

v6,
boNes

Ahh, I see. So any clue as to the difference other than the stencil on 'em that says bang seat or no?

9 1/2 hours (wasn't that a movie?) left to enter the contest.

My son, not sure if he counts toward the contest or not.






He got ahold of my sword.

Zombie Doctor.

And the winner is...



Congratulations kestrel79!
Please send me a PM with the address you want your prize sent to.

Thanks for entering everyone.

Did you decide on the prize? That way we can all drool over what we didn't win.

Congrats kestrel and thanks everyone for the great pics!

I bet the prize was Transformers 2 on bluray dvd.

Congrats Kestrel!

Gamer 5.1 headphones with microphone.

saweet!

Hey, Tom has the same desk I do.

Yeh, I reviewed it.

Wife hates it but I like it.

My g/f thinks mine is pretty cool - let's be honest, it's a pretty classy looking desk. It's big though, so I could understand someone not liking it.

Nice gift.


Wheels

Now he really will be Soundwave.

He will sound cool and ominous saying "Jaguar, eject!".

Wow thanks everyone for voting! I'm excited PM sent Guod.

Soundwave was a lot of fun to make and wear around. Went through a lot of duct tape and acrylic paint.

I think I got asked to "do the robot" over 50 times at various bars and parties. What I really wanted to do was eject Ravage or Laserbeak on them.

Don't forget about "Frenzy".
