A Dude In A Costume
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 29-10-2010
First off a note on my last post. For those that didn’t figure out who Wire Weiner and Space Face are – it’s Comcast and DirecTV. Whether it’s Comcast or some other cable company, it sounds like most of you dislike them – good for you. They suck.
Now onto something much more important.. and timely. I absolutely freakin’ love Halloween. Something about getting dressed up in a costume has always been awesome to me… maybe I just never outgrew the whole trick or treating thing. I have had much, MUCH more fun at parties, bars or hanging out with friends around Halloween then I ever had on New Years Eve. Speaking of which, that may be a post for another day: How incredibly overrated New Years is.. now that is a stupid holiday. But putting on a costume and pretending you are someone else for a night is awesome. Do our lives suck that much?
I am going to give you all a glimpse of the Simple Dude. Not just sharing some stupid personal shit, but an actual legit photo of me. I know this is an anonymous blog, not using my real name or any pics of myself. For those of you curious, that profile picture I use is a tray of Cheese Curds. A real grease filled delicacy here in the upper Midwest. Smart Ass Sara and Ang know what I am talking about. I know what you are thinking: Simple Dude doesn’t want to put his picture on his blog. Thats fine, but why the hell does he subject us to a pic of deep fried artery clogging greezy cheese??? Cause that’s how I roll.
But back to me. This was my Halloween costume from two years ago. I’m a hippie. By the looks of this picture a very drunk hippie. This costume involved a bunch of accessories that may or may not have been lost by the time this photo was taken. No that’s not my real hair, believe it or not. Mine is a little longer. And lime green.
Yeah I know it’s really shitty quality. It was a low res picture, taken by a drunk friend of mine on his crappy phone. But it’s all I have of that particular costume. That pic makes me look fat – which I probably was. I have lost about 20 pounds in the last year as I turn my body into a rock hard temple. Stop giggling. Seriously.
I can’t post a picture of the costume I wore last year because it stayed in the closet unused. Three days before Halloween last year I started getting sick… long story short, it ended up being H1N1… yep, the fuckin’ swine flu. I have never felt so shitty in my life and wouldn’t wish that on ANYONE. I was laid up for about 5 days without leaving the house. So the costume I intended to wear has been sitting in the back of my closet for a year and will get brought out this weekend: a full body penguin suit! Haha! I think it will be hilarious. If it’s as funny as I think it will be i’ll post pictures next week!
Hope you all have a great weekend and scare up some fun! Ok, that was lame.
Don’t forget to enter my drawing for FREE STUFF. I’ll be choosing a winner Monday night.

If you ask me, the only thing better than a drunk hippie is a drunk penguin. LOVE IT
Happy Holiday!
Cheers

Penguin! Can't wait to see it.
Btw, I happen to love celebrating New Years…it's another acceptable holiday in which I can use explosives (read: fireworks) and throw confetti. I know, I'm a sentimental girl.

I'm a geek about halloween much in the way some are completely geeky about christmas.
My front porch is currently covered in caution tape, spider webbing, disembodied heads and dead babies. Okay, one dead baby.
I'm sitting at work, typing this, in full zombie gear. Kudos to you on the full body penguin suit. Sounds fab.

You just made me think of those old Bud Light commercials w/ the DooBeeDooBeeDooooo Penguin. "He's in the house!" (If you don't remember the commercials – YouTube. Hi.Larious!)

Hey thanks, your post gave me the perfect idea for a costume for myself…..bloody scary too! I'll go dressed as a pig with a cold! A few well timed sneezes here and there and it should be perfect. Thanks again.

I like the hippie costume! And am super excited to see the penguin costume! Have a great Halloween!

Awwww, SD, I LOVE me some new years. Prefer it over Christmas.
But also love Halloween, though BF isn't into it.
I may ACTUALLY have a place to go this year, and I have a she-devil costume complete with red wig with builtin horns, flame pantyhose and a cheap-arse polyester dress! Whooohee!
Have fun, Penguin. Hmmmmmmmm – yeah. *said like the Penguin from Batman*

I love Halloween time, all the single ladies get drunk here in Texas and lose all sense of morals. But then again that still does not mean I ever get to partake in those festivities.

I don't recall ever having a really fun New Year's eve. Too much hype. Now Halloween… That is the funnest holiday ever! And btw, don't ever without a warning tell me that yummy profile pic is not really you. I now need personal healing. You mean you're not a pile of squeaky yummy cheese curds? WTF man? Why do I keep reading you then?
ps. that "man" after wtf was inserted as a sign of respect for your previous costume, man…
Yours Untruly,
Nikki

1. I agree, Comcast sucks big green donkey dick.
2. I agree, New Years = worst holiday idea EVER.
3. Penguins are freakin' AWESOME.
Happy (early) Halloween!

@ Miss Nikki- you hit it EXACTLY! I will post about New Years in December but in short, it's the most over hyped holiday of the year. I have more fun on typical average Saturday nights.
Posted on: Oct/29/2010@2:51 pm
Yes, our lives really do suck that bad.
Posted on: Oct/29/2010@3:52 pm
I KNEW it was Comcast. Comcast is the devil. If there was a cult that handed out Destroy Comcast Kool-Ade I would drink it.
LOVE that you posted a pic of yourself! Now you know we're all waiting with bated breath for the penguin pic.

I fucking love penguin suits. I remember when we were advertising for Yearbook someone held a sign that said buy Yearbooks while wearing a penguin suit.
We don't have Comcast, but we have Time Warner, it still sucks at times, but you know what, I still can't complain.
I'm sorry that you got hit with that flu, but I hate how people are so obsessed over it, I know lots of people that got sick with it, and did they die? No.

God- I'm suffering from concert hangover and you tempt me with your cheese curd ways! BASTARD!

You look exactly as I imagined! Can't wait to see you in the penguin suite getting up to all sorts of mayhem and mischief. Happy Halloween!

i had the hiney flu last year (H1N1. we call it hiney flu because, OBVIOUSLY). it was the worst. i've never ever ever had a flu before, but i've had bronchitis, asthmatic bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinus infections more times than i can count. like dozens of times. this was THE WORST. awesome husband didn't get out of bed for five days. i've NEVER seen him like that. and i got sick two days after he did.
luckily we live communally with mom. she took care of us and washed her hands a billion times a day and did not get the hiney flu. i wouldn't wish that on ANYONE.

I'm a hippie this year! How funny! Can't wait for the penguin getup!
Posted on: Oct/29/2010@10:07 pm
I had H1N1 too. I swear I felt like I was going to die. Child birth was easy compared to that thing! GAWD! The only thing that finally made me feel better was after the 4th day of feeling like crap I ate watermelon. As the hours went by I gradually started to feel better.
You have long hair? Never thought that you would. So now that you've gone to the gym….hey! Does that mean you're trying to be all FABIO? lol

Belatedly, DirecTv. Always DirecTv. There really can be no reasonable debate.
