What's Your Halloween Costume?

Posted by Cliff on from the evening-wear-on-all-hallows-eve dept.

Mr. Penguin asks: "I'm wondering what other Slashdot fans are wearing today for Halloween. I didn't do the tech geek thing, but I did go all out. I'm sitting at my desk right now wearing chain mail, a leather brigadine, a beautiful leather cloak, and English riding boots. Girded at my side is my longsword, and after work, I think I'll head down to the tavern and drink some ale in my leather mug. What do you have on?"

  1. Death... out of work by SuperMallen · · Score: 2, Funny

    In a fit of mostly desparation but a little inspiration, I decided to go as Death... after he lost his .com job (from death.com, of course). Basically it consists of all black clothes and a little face-paint, plus Death's resume (50,000+ years of death-related experience, 2 years as VP of Death Affiars at death.com).

    Geeks in the Valley seem fairly appreciative, but they keep telling me that my resume will be put "on file" and that they'll "get back to me" and I shouldn't call them.

  3. Updated costume for me by The+Iconoclast · · Score: 2, Funny

    I used to go around on halloween as "Normal College Guy," but this year I decided to update my costume; I am now dressed as a grad student. :-P
