my super original costume idea


so here it is, easily the best costume idea for hallowe'en this year (or any other year in the history of hallowe'en). no one else could possibly pull this one off, even if they do manage to think of it. so get ready folks, 'cause this year I'm going as Heath Ledger's Joker!

damn right. I bet I'll be the only one clever enough to think of this costume, what with Batman being such an overlooked and under-appreciated film...

you know, I honestly didn't expect to see that many Jokers on hallowe'en because I figured most people would be like me and assume that 84 million other dudes would have a similar idea. but nope. that wasn't the case. we had an over-under set at 6, and I actually thought I'd only see 4 jokers all night (and that's after seeing 5 at the UC for trick-or-eat). well I was off.


waaaaaaaay off.

I'm pretty sure that at no point in the entire evening was there NOT a joker in my field of vision. we'd walk around a corner and BAM! there's a joker. walk away from that dude and KA-PLOW! another one. in every line, at every bar, there were at least 3 separate and distinct joker costumes. some were good, some were bad, most were at least okay, but I'm sure they all felt like total dinks when they saw 84 million dudes in the same outfit.

and since it's probably wrong of me to make fun of other people's costumes while sit on my high horse, I did in fact dress up. it wasn't my idea, but at least I was the only version.

for the record, I was a contestant on the price is right. if I find a picture, I'll put it up so you can all bask in my glory.





(or make fun of me, I really don't care either way.)

I get it - They were comic like onomatopoeic sound effects, like in the Batman comics.
Funny.

Also, I saw lots of Heath Ledger's Jokers in Toronto.

Also I don't know how to take this "price is right" thing. You want to elaborate on that?

I had a plain white t-shirt (not the band), and on it was written "I <3 Bob Barker" also had a nametag.

that's about it really. lame? maybe. cheap? definitely.

now I may be lazy, and I may be cheap, but I'm definitely NOT a communist.

I GET it now. . .I didn't realise until you posted that picture that you actually didn't dress up as the JOker. Now your post makes sense, and is funny. Nicely done Willsy.
