Top 5 Costumes We Can Do Without For Halloween 2008

With Halloween still 7 months away, I thought I'd put together a list of costumes I personally don't want to see AGAIN this year. Think of this as getting a good start on something clever together.

1. Borat
Next year if I see one more person dressed as Borat at a party I'm gonna freak out. Especially the one guy that has the balls (literally) to actually show up with Borat's infamous swimsuit. If I see that again i'm gonna give him a wedgie so high he'll be able to use it as dental floss. With "Bruno" (the flaming sexual reporter) coming out this year, expect to see that as the next Sacha Baron Cohen costume of this year. (In case you've been living under a rock Sacha Baron Cohen is the comedian/actor who plays Borat, Ali G, and Bruno.)

Possibly the worst Borat ever. Nice find on the swimsuit, but no mustache? WTF? Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I mean noooooooooo.

2. Jack Sparrow
Sure it's always fun to be a pirate, it's the only time you can rape and pillage and get away with it right? (The Vikings did it better anyway. I know I'm Norwegian) But still, please no more Johnny Depp costumes. My sister's boyfriend was him at the first party I went to last year, but the good thing about him was he actually has real dreadlocks, so he looked pretty damn good. The next five parties had at least 3 Jack Sparrows each, with no Kraken in site unfortuately.

Captain Jack Swallows.

3. Men Dressed As Women
I have no doubt that the 25% (maybe more) of the fellas who dress up as a ugly bittys on Halloween secretly wish they could do it all the time. Putting on makeup and a dress to see what you would look like as a girl is so much fun isn't it! And no, it's not hilarious anymore after the 50th person at the party feels your balloon tits and laughs like a jack ass.

Yup guys, you exactly what he wants you to do with that poolstick.

4. Gimmicky Couple Costumes
Bolt and Nuts, Plugs and sockets, Key and Lock outfits... you know what I'm talking about. These costumes are for the artards with creativity as bad as Uwe Boll movies. They run out the hour before a Halloween party to blow $60 on a cheap ass attempt at being hilarious.

Maybe I'm just bitter at this costume because I wish I was the one sticking my bolt in the chick :(

5. Spiderman
Sorry, nobody wants to see anyone but Tobey Mcguire wearing that suit. Especially when it doesn't fit your fat ass and we have to see the wedge in your crack since the suit is so friggin' tight.

(OK so i admit this is me last year, fuck off. I should have photoshopped my tic tac pecker bulge bigger damnit.)

I'll end this list on a positive note. I would give not just my left nut, but my right as well to own the Hulk costume this fan made "Marvel Zombies Trailer" that alot of diggers have already seen.

Strange Reflection of a Cross Spotted on Easter

In a change from my usual topics, I thought this was a cool find.
Reading my local paper I work for today, I noticed a strange article about a cross relection appearing on the side of a house, which progressed to various areas of the residence, including a shed. Apparently no source could be found that resulted in the relection. In my opinion this is much cooler then Jesus toast!

Remember when online shopping was cheap?

What happened to the days of online shopping being cheap? Now-a-days people seem to make more money off of shipping then the actual product. Case in point: The I Am Legend book by Richard Matheson, which is now a movie coming out December 14th with Will Smith. The trailers for this film got me so hyped up that I just had to read the book. I went to about 5 online stores, including ebay and amazon, and imagine my surprise when I found out the shipping is even more then the damn book itself! $6-$7 to ship a used book is Ludicrous. So what did I do? Headed over to my local Target where I found the re-issue of the book for $5, after a 30% sale discount.

Back in college I bought ALL my books from half.com, and I don't recall shipping being as pricey as it is now. And don't even get me started on Video Game shipping. I sell alot of games, and know for a fact a standard DVD size game and case costs no more then $3 including the packaging. Yet most ebayers want up to $10 for shipping.

I'm going back to the old fashioned way of buying things, going to the REAL stores.

Forums Back!

I purchased tons more bandwidth, 70 GB more to be exact, so the forum should run without a hitch from now on. Check it out if you've been waiting for it to get back online!

Blockbuster Manager Curses Out Customer

Check out the story here. Personally I would have knocked him the f**K out! There's nothing I hate worse then going to my local blockbuser and getting the same speech about all the programs they offer, and that I should sign up for them. It's gotten better since I got their online service, but they still push to try to sell you things. NO I DON'T WANT TO BUY 3 SODAS AT A CHEAPER PRICE! I DON'T EVEN WANT 1 SODA! Now I know it is not always the employee's fault, management and corporate asses push them to do this, but it is annoying as hell. I just want to get my movies and get out of there. This story of course is no excuse. I hope this ass gets fired.

Terminator 4 Rumor/ Forum Update

First off, I just want to let you know I've contacted my forum host, woolnet.net and am waiting information on purchasing more bandwidth. I really don't want you guys to have to wait until Saturday to get back on. It turns out that this month we used twice the bandwidth of the average month. This could be because of a number of reasons, but most likely people are abusing our sig/avy privilege which lets you host your sig/avys on our server. It could have also been because someone posted an image hosted on the forums to a popular site like Digg, which as most know is a website killer. We'll be installing something that will not allow hotlinking to our images anymore so this doesn't happen again. We may scrap the hosting of images all together since this has been such a huge problem.

Anyway, in other news a huge rumor is going around that Edward Furlong will be reprising his role as John Connor in 2009's Terminator 4! I'm all for it, even though it would throw the series out of wack since both T3 and the Sarah Connor Chronicles both feature a different John Connor. I welcome this news anyway because Nick Stahl didn't sit well with me. He did a good job, but I would have prefered trouble child Furlong. We'll just have to wait and see if this is a rumor.

VGDC Forums Temporarily Down

For the first time ever, we exceeded our bandwidth limit. August was the busiest month ever. I am working on getting more bandwidth so everyone won't have to wait until the end of the month to get back on the forum. I'll keep you all posted.

Crazy Japanese kids attack Johnny Depp

Well not really, but it sure is crazy! I remember the last interview he did with some kids in Japan. To say they are die-hard american actor fans is an understatement. I have to say I'm very impressed at the keyboard playing of the little girl. (it is a little girl right) I was just learning to pick my nose at that age.
