Nader

[ifreakshow]

Disappointed that there was no Nader mask. Very scary to us Democrats.

Re:Nader

[jfengel]

Nader's easy. You just go to the party then stand out in the cold.

Re:Nader

[aacool]

You dont need a Nader mask - just close your eyes, squint and imagine an old man tolling a warning drum and marching towards a gaggle of union activists & capitalist fatcats - pretty scary, I guess.

More scary though, look at http://www.boingboing.net/2004/10/28/the_strangers _scarie.html for a truly scary Halloween costume, that's all too real

Yes, flimsy paper masks!

[mixtape5]

I can just picture swarms of kids running around with printer generated masks. Ink running off the page because its raining.

Rubber is definately the way to go.

Rubber is definately the way to go.

I thought we were only allowed to teach abstinance to the kids?

Re:Yes, flimsy paper masks!

[carpe_noctem]

Good point. Remember kids, November 2nd is national abstinance day... no Dick, no Bush!

Ha ha!

[eathan13]

Bush's vacant stare looks vaguely familiar. Without the hat, I wouldn't know it was a mask...

And ofcourse,

no halloween would be complete without a Darryl McBride mask.

Just don't forget to wear a bullet proof vest when you venture out.

Gates looks good!

[Greg Larkin]

The funny thing is, they didn't have to change the hair or skin tone much to make this mask...

Umm.. Windows?

I'm Going With a John Kerry Mask

[Anonymous Coward]

complete with flip-flops, paper-cuts to mimic my war injuries, french beret and a bag of waffles.

That would be hilarity.

Careful on the mask you pick.

[Juvenall]

Needless to say, I'll have the knee-jerk reaction of smacking the crap out of the first kid that comes to my door in a Daryl McBride mask..

Re:Careful on the mask you pick.

[eathan13]

That is the funniest thing I've read all day!

Now who's Daryl McBride...?

This Year

[clinko]

This year i'm going as Justin Timberlake and My GF is Janet. My best costume was the priest. Although atomic wedgie is sounding best this year.

iPod Variants

[Gallenod]

Yeah, just what we need! More iPod flavors!

The GOP Presidential iPod: comes in a red, white, and blue case. Only plays Pat Boone, Mel Torme, and John Phillip Sousa. Invades you're active applications on the desktop when you sync it, attempts to download and then fight as many viruses as possible, and then claims you need to keep it installed to finish what it started.

They Kerry iPod: Will play any tune, but never the same way twice. Married to a rich file-serving application that can get it any song it wants. The case is painted to look like a waffle.

The Red Sox iPod: Plays the blues for 85 years before finally blasing out "We Are the Champions."

I'm going as a pirate this year

Making a sword out of blank CDs was harder than I thought.

But how do you tell the Kerry masks from the Frankenstein masks?

Unless he lives in Nevada or Amsterdam, he'll get arrested for that.

wtf? Printing instructions?

[sl4shd0rk]

Kinda scary that the demographic Forbes is making these masks for needs directions on clicking the little printer icon. I can't wait to see all the lawsuits when these CEOs run into the street with their fancy new masks and get slaughtered because they didn't get directions to cut the little eyeholes out.... hmmm..think I'll forward the article to my PHB...
