  • AdeleMor, on 10/06/2008, -0/+11i'm dressing up as a pitbull with lipstick
  • superc0w, on 10/06/2008, -0/+11Did anyone else notice all the spelling and grammatical errors?
  • keatonkeaton998, on 10/07/2008, -0/+11TO WRITE A GOOD DIGG ARTICLE: Post pictures of a random set of 28 characters and celebrities, then describe what you're looking at.
  • bill80, on 10/06/2008, -0/+8There is no way Elvis wins any costume contest. Well, there might be a few props that could do it.
  • ks136, on 10/06/2008, -1/+9Don't know if I should admit this, but I could go as Sarah Palin with very little effort...dark hair, brown eyes, and yep, the glasses. I'll hafta work on the voice though, dont'cha know?!
  • aherman, on 10/06/2008, -0/+8I'm going as Green Man this year.
  • macjaeh, on 10/06/2008, -0/+7I'm going as Google. Going to wear all white with a Google logo, search bar under it, and in the search bar, I will write "Hotties", and have a cursor hovering over "I'm feeling lucky".
  • bcollis, on 10/07/2008, -0/+7Those all suck.
  • skinrock, on 10/07/2008, -0/+6The first thing they say is how "you were a sexy maid last year", and yet Sexy Maid is in the list. This article sucks.
  • btschul, on 10/07/2008, -0/+6Everyone and their dog is gonna go as the Joker this year. It's not very original.
  • ohnoerino, on 10/06/2008, -1/+7I guess everyone at Wikipedia is too?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_plates
  • Bologner, on 10/07/2008, -0/+5Wow, terrible article.
  • thespanielator, on 10/06/2008, -1/+6you'd also need a lobotomy and a squint
  • LR2_, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4What about Waldo (Where's Waldo)? I've been wanting to get/make a Waldo costume for the past couple of years.
  • airwalkery2k, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4I think I am going as a rickroll this year.
  • inactive, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4Here is a list of a bunch of ***** we threw together for no reason really. Because people love lists!
  • Cenobite, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4I'm going as Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I.
  • RaverGeek, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4They are actually showing, in this picture, the Polygamist offshoot group The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a very different organization which has been known to excommunicate boys for no reason in order to make sure the other men in the group can have enough wives.

    These are not Mormons.
  • Vikaas, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4My favorite time of year here in college.
  • Greengoo, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4Well that backfired on you acmaurer... His idea ***** rocks!
  • CapeKid, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4Exactly, half of these are "guy in a suit." Costumes have to be instantly recognizable. If you have to explain a costume, it's a bad costume.
  • Revolutionista, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4No Joker?
  • k3rfuffl3, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4Dugg for "oil man." Just need a bloody bowling pin.
  • listrophy, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3Tribune: Fail. Only one costume prefixed with "Sexy?" I thought all winning costumes started with "sexy."

    -Sexy vamp
    -Sexy nun
    -Sexy student
    -Sexy robot
    -Sexy latter day saints chick
  • zeroanimated, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3I'm going to go around the neighborhood this year as a registered sex offender :D
    I'll have a whole speech to say at each door!
  • acmaurer, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3My roommate's also thinking about going as Sarah! I think you should totally go for it. But I won't be surprised if she's a popular costume this year!
  • disrupter, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3Pedophile Beard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15S0g8pG6HU&feature ...
  • GoKings, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3Batman... That's going to be incredibly original this year...
  • Animal, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3"If you have to explain a costume, it's a bad costume."

    Probably the single best piece of Halloween costume advice.
  • CoreyHalliwell, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2I'm going as a Giant penis. You cannot dispute a giant Penis costume. Also it will be a nice change...
  • Peko, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2Don't forget the glasses!

  • slickfire, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2Oh Kwame! (canned laughter)
  • bill80, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2Much more original than simple Palin costume.

  • cindya, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2in a hill in upstate New York.
  • nathron, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2these are terrible!! pretty much all of these costumes are already overdone already. going as a spartan from 300 wasn't even really clever last year... def not this year! put a little bit of thought into it and come up with something clever. the best halloween costumes tend to be a little bit more obscure. IE: don't be will ferrell as ron burgandy. be will ferell as mugatu! :)
  • terriblelie, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2Im going as Republican jesus this year! Trying to find someone to be Joseph Smith, Muhammed, and Buddha. RELIGION FORCE GO!
  • nathanbutnet, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2Or wings.
  • Farik, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2He drank my milkshake!
  • jc7012, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2Sounds like my friday night...
  • skinrock, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2No, I haven't heard.
  • Duncanizer1, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2Maybe if you actually gather 299 friends with you and pillage the houses for candy you might get some success.
  • AntonMoss, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2How bout going as Steve Holt?
    Blue football jacket and you are done.
  • GlitchEnzo, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2Every year I say that's what I'm going to go as, but I never get around to actually gathering the costume pieces.

    Maybe this year....
  • scarletspidah, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2I'd love to dress up as Draper or Pete Campbell, but no one would get it.
