Mystery Halloween costume
by Denise Sawicki on October 10, 2009
This might look like two guys in ugly clothes, but in reality it is a very nerdy Halloween costume. Can anyone figure it out?

Newhart was my first thought too. I'm stumped. I dunno, Earl from Dinosaurs hanging out with his good friend Tim Robbins from The Shawshank Redemption?

;-D

Good guesses but no. I maybe should have said "geeky" in place of nerdy. They are very famous characters but not dressed in their usual outfits.

Uhh... Mike Nesmith and Davey Jones?
Amy Austin | October 10, 2009
Ha -- another good one! (But I would have said Peter Tork instead of Mickey Dolenz *or* Davy Jones... ;-D)

Jack Nicholson and another nut from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

Bono and The Edge?

Kirk and Spock in City on the Edge of Forever?

Steve, you are correct! City on the edge of forever. I will post the picture of the actors in this garb shortly.

Yes! I am King of the Geeks! I'll expect my trophy in the mail. :-)

Here is the real picture. This is supposedly the best Star Trek episode of all time. Kirk and Spock go back in time to 1930's Earth and steal these clothes to fit in with the populace. Spock puts on the stocking cap to hide his ears. It was subtle but I knew you guys could get it with all your goo prowess.

Damn, Steve... is *everything* a competition with you??? ;-p

Sickening, isn't it? It ain't easy being me.
Amy Austin | October 11, 2009
Pshh. And I thought I was bad.

Steve West. Seriously man, you freak me out. Your combination of geekiness and competence is uncanny.

We might try to make Spock brows but I'm not sure any of us are that talented with makeup :).
It is not really a Halloween costume, it is for our convention we are going to this weekend. There should be a lot of Trekkies there, one would think. If anyone got the joke it would make our day :-P.

So I've been somewhat of a Sims 2 addict lately. But it's so easy. It gets boring when everybody has a perfect life, maxed skills, and reaches their lifetime want. Go »Narcissist
Oh lord, new worry, what if I'm a narcissist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_Personality_Disorder "NPD is considered to result from a person’s belief that he or she is flawed in a way that makes the person fundamentally unacceptable to others [8]. Go »Vacation
Well I requested some time off work until January 3rd... For the price of 4 vacation days I get 11 days off. We're going to go visit my husband's older brother in Wisconsin around New Years... Go »Being Rich
I've decided I wouldn't really want to be wealthy. OK, in many people's estimation I am probably wealthy already, but, what I really mean is I wouldn't want to live like a wealthy person. I wouldn't want a huge house on the lake with my own boat.. Go »Gross jelly beans
So, we all know I am a little juvenile for my age. We went and purchased some Beanboozled jelly beans a while back - the box comes with a mix of good flavors and disgusting flavors but you can't tell the difference until you eat them because the color is the same. I was apprehensive but most of the flavors I tried were really not that bad. Go »

My only guesses would be Larry and his brother Darryl... or an incomplete Red Green... ;-)
