Costume: Julia Child (or, Meryl Streep as Julia Child) What You'll Need: Mouse-brown wig with short loose curls, blouse with a somewhat suggestive neckline, skirt (on the tighter side, above knees), apron (or kitchen towel tucked into skirt), strands of pearls, pearl earrings, wooden spoon and other kitchen tools in apron pocket.

Hm, I like the first one, but I worry it would just come across as "Puffy Patrick Bateman." Or, worse, I used to work at McKinsey, so "Puffy 4-Years-Ago Me." Eeek, maybe I'll just be a toilet paper mummy again. #halloween
Damnit. I am so being Anna Wintour (she was the backup for my first choice, Lady Gaga) and was really happy you hadn't mentioned her. Now you ruined it! I was really looking forward to giving people disapproving looks all night while standing in a corner with my arms crossed. #halloween
Costume: The Death of Print Media What You'll Need: copies of Gourmet, The New York Times, Elegant Bride, Glamour, Cookie ...etc. and zombie makeup. Works Best For: Anyone still working in print media that hasn't been laid off yet and can afford to buy magazines. Recommended By: TableNein
@TableNein: Or, alternatively, you could make your own copies of the major rags with crayons, just so that the point is made (esp. if you WERE in print media and now are not); kind of poignant I think.
@TableNein: Kind of female-hating, don't you think? All of those are woman-oriented. Yes, the Times. Maybe you should just wear a sign that says, "I hate women." #halloween
@fuckingoldman: You are so typically male, acting out your inadequacies by bullying women online, just like you did with Norma Desmond. Take you patriachic aggression somewhere else. #halloween
@Solomon Grundy: I'll already be wearing a heart on my sleeve and an ace up my sleeve so I don't think there will be room for a vagina as well!
Plus, KIDS! Gotta keep it G-rated. #halloween
@Red Vadge of Courage: Bullying women online? Are you for real? You and Norma are pretty good at dishing it out, but you don't like it when someone gives it back. Too fucking bad. Sounds like you both need to get laid. #halloween
@fuckingoldman: Woohoo. A tough guy. You couldn't find your PMS jokebook and had to rely on the old "need to get laid?" Really original. Maybe you should stick to posting lolcats links like you did in the other post. In the meantime, take that fist of yours and pull it out of your ass. #halloween
@Red Vadge of Courage: In this age of equality if a woman slaps me I have no problem punching her in the face. You're just a stupid bitch with daddy issues and no sense of humor. Fuck off. #halloween
@Red Vadge of Courage: In case you hadn't noticed, most of the other people that replied to your comment agreed with me. I'll bet you're pretty proud of yourself for finding and posting that pic. Not bad for a bitch from Jersey. I'm LMAO over here. See you in group!
@son of spam: This thread was actually quite an awesome read - Fuckingoldman is indeed a stereotypical jerkface ('You need to get laid'? Hey, Tucker Max called for you, he has an assistant asshat job with your name on it) but Red Vadge - Wowza, that costume means "I hate women"? You're kinda winning the troll wars here, which is impressive.
Also, those ARE the magazines that got canned from Conde Nast, or are covered in Gawker as having serious budget issues/are hemorrhaging staff members on a very regular basis. I'd take up the sexism with the publishers. #halloween
@fuckingoldman: You tell those PC libtards, My son. By My Grace, old man, you're still able to get something up. Even if it's just your hand. Which has been your solitary companion for so many decades now. And it only gets worse from here, you know.
Tough shit huh? But you'll endure unlike your er...performance. #halloween
I know I'm only a sporadic, moany old bagpipe and a YOOropeen at that, but I wish this had happened 2 years ago, or even last year. Imagine! Ian's head would have exploded and after SNFF, you would have logged on and been greeted with '' You have 2,398 replies. ''
And we would have had tags like:
Oh!What might have been. Now that my brain has dried up and I don't understand the new kids anymore, I'm reduced to standing in a dark corner and grinning sadly, while giving pats on the head to the snatched bits of conversation that make me smile/bewilder me/are good.
I feel like Carl, in Up , only with no balloons and I never got to go to Paradise Falls. Except with, like a commenting system?
I'm not very easily sold on change, but this is nothing short of excellent in ten different ways. My favorite, irreverent two: (1) this places a greater emphasis (and importance) on the fine art of tagging. Which is awesome. And (2) this is going (ideally) to move a lot of the insidery, old-school, overindulgent stuff off of posts and into tag forums. Where readers may put the "hack" in "hacking away" at us, and we can provoke them. On that note, you can find me here:
This will obviously be my favorite board. Anywhere, ever. Oh, and if you put something in here that's not insidery enough, I'll rip your star off so hard it'll leave a mark.
