Power Loader Halloween Costume From Aliens Movie
Ant writes "Chairboy's Halloween costume this year was a Caterpillar Power Loader J-5000, the hydraulic utility vehicle seen in the James Cameron's 1986 movie, Aliens. There is a journal of him making it from scratch, a photograph/photo gallery, and a video clip of it in action from yesterday."
If he was going for the theme he would have gotten a space marine outfit for his wife and had one of the toddlers bursting out of her stomach.
I'm a fiscal conservative, it's a pity we don't have a political party anymore
Slashdot makes a big deal out of April Fools, but features Halloween material a day late?
We need a Halloween theme along the lines of OMG Ponies, except it should be OMG Ghosts - by Symantec.
Oh You POS
Heh, I used to make costumes for the kids. First year, my wife dressed my son as a fox, so I made him a big tank to be driven around in with german markings. In one step, he became Rommel. Next year, he gets a pilot jacket, so I built the mech-warrior battlemech costume (http://hallert.net/mech/mechcostume.htm) with him as the pilot. After that, wifey put the kabosh on my involvement with their costumes.
It was pink styrofoam insulation, which doesn't lose strength when it gets wet.
Unless it rains acetone.
Shouldn't this guy just get a trench coat, a T-shirt, a baseball cap and a packet of cigarettes? That way he can play Silent Bob.
The guy's an exact duplicate of Kevin Smith!
Education is the silver bullet.
Dust off and nike the website from orbit. It's the only way to just do it.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
He comes from Holland, MI, a small, mainly Dutch community in West Michigan which is so ridiculously conservative, it makes Utah look liberal. Most of the schools in that area don't have Halloween parties because of the Christian right's pervasive presence. It's so bad that people have been shunned (yes, actual shunning) for mowing their lawns on Sunday. Honestly, Taco probably forgot that Halloween even happens anymore.
