weird: my place
in Humor 3-space

Friday, October 25, 2002
 
I used to worry about what to wear for Halloween. I was never a very good planner, and I'm not the type to invest a lot of money in something I'll only wear once. As a result, my costumes have always been hurried, slapdash affairs involving a lot of random objects drafted into service as accessories ("Hmm, I guess I could duct tape that tuning fork to this old motorcylce helmet and call myself a lunatic"). I had a big pink muu-muu that was always acceptable for costume parties, but I hated shaving my legs. Bitches be crazy.
     Oh man do I hate when people use current events as a source of costume ideas. I met a dude named Chad who stuffed a pillow in his shirt and called himself -- get it? -- a pregnant chad. Glarrgle! Later that night, we turned him into a bleeding from the head, neck and ass chad. It was a great improvement. But I know there are gonna be sniper-related costumes involving crosshairs or laser pointers or Home Depot bags, and I know the people wearing them will be the worst kind of people. Therefore it will be okay to cut them a little bit. Who's with me?
     A few years ago, Zorgot told me I should dress as a bee, because I'd never want to be anything else again. Dude. He was right. I wrap a yellow t-shirt in 2 inch electrical tape, add cheap antennae and maybe some fairy wings and I'm ready.
     The genius part of the bee costume is manifold. Everybody knows what you are, so you don't have to explain yourself to idiots. (Oh -- if you like wearing complicated, "clever" costumes that require explanation, you need to take that expectant grin out of my face and eat a hot cup of dick.) You can add anything to a basic bee costume without undermining your essential bee-ness; you can tack on any modifier (dead bee, french maid bee, astronaut bee, dog bee, bleeding from head/neck/ass bee) and nodoby will look at you funny. Also, if somebody else comes to the party as a bee, that rocks! If ten bees came it would rock even harder. If the world was bees, it might be the best halloween ever.

DISALLOWED FOREVER

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!"
-
"from whence"
-
"...the exception that proves the rule"
-
any use of the question "spit or swallow?"
-
the phrase "drop trou"
-
fake-o reviewer verbs:
"penned" for wrote
"helmed" for directed
"lensed" for whatever
-
"expat"
-
the euphemism
"passed away"
-
pronouncing merci beaucoup as "mercy buckets!"
(see also: "grassy-ass!")



PET PEEVES

"confinscated"
-
trying children "as adults"
-
"drownded"
-
misuse of reflexive pronouns, as when someone says "Please talk to Bob or myself." Come on people now. "Myself" is not just a fancy version of "me"! LEARN IT.
-
tattoos in the Courier font
-
any use of Comic Sans
