The Hunt For A Halloween Costume.

If you saw these costumes in the store, you KNOW you'd buy them in a heartbeat. Admit it!

Oh how I long for the simple days when Ben Cooper costumes were king. If only it was as simple as going to the store and saying, "Why yes, I would like to dress up as Flipper the dolphin or a Rubik's Cube this Halloween!" Believe it or not, I still don't have a Halloween costume. Halloween is less than a week away and I still don't have a costume. How is this possible? This never happens. Granted, I've been busy as hell the past two months writing Halloween season articles on I-Mockery and doing the Halloween specials on Doc Mock's Movie Mausoleum, but that's still no excuse. I need to figure something out pronto!

How about you guys? What are you going as for Halloween? Feel free to share photos of your costumes in this thread. Who knows, maybe I'll just steal your idea and claim it was my own brilliant Halloween 2009 costume creation. Ok not really, but I am open to suggestions, because if I don't come up with something good soon, I may have to throw something ridiculous together at the last minute. Something ridiculous like my Halloween costume from 2003... The Hawaiian Ninja of Liberty:

Mele Kaliki Maka KAMIKAZE!

Yep, I actually wore a Statue of Liberty mask covered in blood, a Hawaiian lei flower necklaces, and a ninja costume with sword as my costume that year. They were among the only things left in the store the day before Halloween that year. Much to my amusement, everybody thought I was making some kind of political statement that year, what with Miss Liberty being covered in blood 'n all... but the truth is, I just threw some crap together at the last moment and became The Hawaiian Ninja of Liberty for no reason whatsoever.

Looking back at that costume, dressing up as Flipper or a Rubik's Cube is starting to sound pretty good in comparison.

Tacoween!

Taco Bell's new Black Jack Taco is the Official Taco of Halloween.

We already have El Día de los Muertos as a fine way to associate Hispanic culture with our annual Halloween celebrations. Sure, it officially starts on November 1st, but Halloween officially starts and ends on October 31st, yet I start my celebrations on September 1st every year... so I'll mix in some Day of the Dead traditions with my Halloween celebrations if I damn well want to. But what about the food? Sure, I could make some sugar skulls, and I probably will sometime since I already have the mold for one, but what if I'm not in the mood to be Mocker Stewart? Fortunately, Taco Bell has come to the rescue.

While I generally don't eat fast food these days, especially something that can make you run for the proverbial border as quickly as Taco Bell, I still can't help but associate the release of their new Black Jack Taco with Halloween. And why? Because it's a black taco. A Black Taco. A BLACK TACO! Make no mistake about it, the entire shell is jet black, and when you factor in the timing of its release, it's easy to see why I now consider it to be the Official Taco of Halloween™.

In celebration of this, I have also created a new holiday called Tacoween™ which I will now demonstrate how to celebrate with my incredible artistic skills: (more...)

R.I.P. Captain Lou Albano. :(


http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/cyndi-goonies/

Captain Lou Albano died of natural causes today at the age of 76. I for one will never forget his frantic persona from back in the golden days of the WWF, Cyndi Lauper's music videos and the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Let's hope his patented cheek rubber band quickly shoots his crazy spirit up into the the aether where he can "Do the Mario" forever.

In fact, let's all "Do the Mario" just once for Captain Lou today. (more...)

I-Mockery’s “Turn Your Own Damn Groceries Into Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns” Contest Results!

I-Mockery's Turn Your Own Damn Groceries Into Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns Contest Results!

Sorry for the delay in getting the results up, I'm posting this from my old PC since my main laptop is on the fritz.

Anyway, that was certainly a different Halloween contest now wasn't it? For those of you who missed out on it, after I wrote the "Let's Make Halloween Lime-O-Lanterns!" article, I started up a contest asking everybody to take some of their own groceries and carve them into jack-o-lanterns. You guys turned in some truly awesome entries that have already made my Halloween season far more awesome.

The contest ended just this past week and the results are in. It was extremely hard to decide on the winner considering the quality of some of the entries, but we've made our decisions. So without further delay, the grand prize winner is... (more...)
