Halloween 2011

[Ugly Bastard]

DJ FC, I have what is a serious (ie: not trolling) and I think awesome suggestion for you this year for Halloween: the Monopoly man.



Posting it now so you have ample time to pull it off if interested.

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

[DJ FC]

I like it too. But why me?

Your stature is appropriate for the costume imo and it also jives with your trader/moneyman image.

Also because you drive an iron to work.

[thekremlin]

Your propensity to carry around bags with dollar signs on the outside?

The Monopoly Man's real name was originally Milburn Pennybags or Rich Uncle Pennybags.

In 1999, he was renamed Mr. Monopoly, a name that is clearly shittier than Milburn Pennybags.

Pennybags has a wife named Madge.

Madge is a gold digging cunt.

False. Madge and Mr. Pennybags actually grew up together in Concord, NH. They went to the same church (episcopalean) and their fathers were in the same fraternity (Phi Gamma Kappa) at Princeton. When Mr. Pennybags himself enrolled in Princeton, he wrote letters to Madge on an almost nightly basis. Although there were other women during his college years, he married Madge immediately after graduation, probably in a large part due to her father's ownership of the B&O Railway, one of the nations first rail superpowers. Within a decade, Madge's father retired and turned the company over to his young son-in-law. Mr. Pennybags proved worthy of the responsibility, acquiring two other railroads and finally the fourth "major" on his thirty-fifth birthday. With the acquisition of the Reading Railroad, Mr. Pennybags was able to raise transportation costs significantly.

As he moved into real estate, his fortune grew, but his personal life was ridden with problems. He was known for his work drive, often spending twenty hour days in his office at Park Place, but all that time meant absence at the homestead. Childless and for most of her days husbandless, Madge faced severe depression and turned to food and drink. Her unhappiness led her to become sharp with her husband on the rare occasion he was home, which probably added to his desire to stay at the office. Doubtlessly aggravating the situation was the fact that Madge could not concieve. A doctor prescribed bromide to her, and she went through her final years in a haze. At the still young age of forty-nine, she died from "congestion of the brain," which probably meant a tumor.

Mr. Pennybags stayed a widower until he was fifty-two. By that time, he had built a sizeable empire and controlled most of the real estate around Atlantic City. Although he was still a workhorse, it was less necessary for him to stay in the office for hundred-hour weeks, and more necessary for him to mingle with high society. At a party thrown by the son of Andrew Carnegie, he met a nineteen-year old socialite named Mina Goodsworth. Enchanted by her youth and beauty, he began courting her immediately. He longed to propose, but her parents were catholic and did not approve of his religion, which had always played an active role in Mr. Pennybag's life. Mr. Pennybags had been hard of hearing since an accident when he was twelve, and as an inside joke he and Mina had become accustomed to communicating by tapping each other's arms in morse code. Mr. Pennybags finally proposed to her, on her arm, in morse code, but it was two years before they could wear down Mina's parents (who were actually a decade younger than the groom.) Finally they were married in Mr. Pennybag's fifty-third year. Astonishingly, Mina produced three sons, and the marriage lasted until Mr. Pennbag's death in the year of their twentieth anniversary.

Also he drove a battleship to work.

No. Don't blaspheme.

[Mr. Blonde]

Getting closer and I've got no real good ideas. I just got the idea of doing a minimalist Satan; short horns glued to my head, red bodypaint covering all skin, fangs, over a tattered old suit i'll pick up at good will. Maybe some red contacts.

[ninjaface]

Claim you are Don Cheadle the whole time.

[Saint DH]

Hey I've got the perfect costume. It's called dressing up in costumes is for faggots.

[ninjaface]

I only ever hear assholes say things like that.

Maybe you could try dressing up as an adult with a job?

[Saint DH]

How about I dress up like the guy who is going to sodomize your mother tonight. What's your dad look like again?

[Mr. Blonde]

Halloween is the best day of the year. Hands down.

[f3lix]

Humored that UB started this thread and now lives in a country that doesn't celebrate it.

[Ugly Bastard]

Here they celebrate Dia de los Muertos instead which is the day after Halloween. My sister lived in Mexico for a while several years ago and told me it was hands-down the coolest, most memorable experience of her time here.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

no I'm pretty sure you're mistaken. they celebrate o hollows eve. they leave a das boot hanging from the front porch and in the morning the boot is filled with beans.

[Mr. Blonde]

Misty sure is rowdy lately, huh?

[thekremlin]

Your costume idea sucks, but I know you're still going to a) do it anyway, b) get laid on halloween by some girl wearing a slutty bumblebee costume anyway. So, basically, fuck you.
