Just a heads up for those still looking for a costume idea.

The Vancouver Sun will be running a feature in tomorrow's paper called "How to Look Like Justin Bieber."

I'll keep you posted on this breaking story as it develops.

Do people in Vancouver really need advise on how to look like a d-bag?

Having a hard time coming up with anything creative this year. I prefer to stay on the offensive side of things on this holiday.

My best so far is being a diseased butcher from Maple Leaf Foods:

dirty apron
fake cleaver
dark eyes, some makeup, getting the sick/dying look
packs of cold cuts and hotdogs in pockets

I duno if that is clear enough for people to recognize tho

Anyone know where in this city one might find a black vinyl dishwasher's apron?

I'm just about done my shopping for becoming The Scout from TF2. Team Red ftw. I'm just missing the shoes, bat, and his headset. I'm going to go to Army and Navy tomorrow and try to find something that will suffice.

I ran into a bit of a snag with his pants, as they seem to be olive, but it seems noone has olive jeans or something comfy to wear for hours on end. Suggestions for stores for pants as well as headset (if A&N shouldn't work out)?

I'm going to Halloween Haunt at Canada's Wonderland this weekend. I think it looks lame, but people I talked to said it is pretty fun. I guess we'll see.

Thinking I might go as Conan O'Brien.

I'm about as tall as him, and have a beard. I shave my head, but finding a red wig should be easy enough, and I'll dye/paint my beard red/orange. Trying to locate some "Team Coco" button-pins to hand out and wear, but coming up empty so far.

I'm going to be Mr. Banana Grabber. I really hope giving up the cartoon rights doesn't come back to bite me in the ass.

I'm not gay, but if I were to go down that road...I'd hope it was Rocky.

I was thinking about Don Draper, but I went to Value Village today and all the gray suits were waaaaay too big for me. I bought one anyways, but then I saw it in the mirror when I got home and realized there was no way in hell I was going to pull it off. Maybe next year I'll be more proactive and get the suit early.

I could go as Rob Kerr but I think only CP would find it funny.

So with a work Halloween Party tomorrow, and nothing but a billion-size-too-big-suit, I'm going to go with the classic fallback option of identical twins everywhere - my brother.
T-shirt + nametag = Easiest costume ever.

Maybe for actual Halloween I'll tear up the suit a bit, grease my hair, drink old fashioned's/smoke lucky's and tell people I'm AMC's new hit mash-up show with zombie Draper (Donald Zombie?)

I just completed my Scout costume for Halloween. I wanted to go with my originals, but it just went so well.

I think I am going to go as Zack Galafanakis from the hangover. Just need to go to Value Village and find a doll and a harness.

Aren't Boy Scouts all the same? I guess the leaders may have a different uniform.
