Halloween Haute Couture


Hallow's eve is almost upon us. Have you got your costume yet? You don't know who to go as? Well, this is your lucky day. nonamedufus is happy to share with you some ideas for the costume-challenged among you.

Hugh Laurie

Is there a doctor in the House?

Cut your hair with a straight-edged razor, grow a three-day beard, swipe Uncle Gimpy's cane and don a T-shirt that's been sitting in the laundry for several weeks and you too could trick or treat as Dr. House. Who knows, maybe you too could attract a Dr. Cuddy, voted as having the best breasts in television.

Betty White

Women are from Venus, Betty's from Mars Bars

She's on Saturday Night Live, in every second television commercial, situation comedy and feature film this fall. She's everywhere. And now she could be trick or treating down your block. A white fright wig and an able walker are all you need to be the hit of Halloween this year. The popularity of this character's iffy as she may drop dead at any moment.

Justin Bieber

Pop's Canuck mop-top

Entirely up to you. If you're looking forward to having eggs pelted at you, go for it.


Keith Richards

"It's great to be here. It's great to be anywhere."

If you like to mumble, smoke ashes, and pretend you still know how to strum a guitar this costume's for you. An unbuttoned shirt, scarves and a head bandana are all that's required. Carrying a bottle of Jack Daniels while chain-smoking, stumbling down the street and flipping the bird are sure to enhance the impact of this character.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Asshole of evil.

Cut your hair with a straight-edged razor, grow a three-day beard...wait, didn't we do this one already? Shouting out such phrases as "Death to American infidels" and "I've got a nuclear reactor, nanny, nanny, boo-boo" is sure to separate you from the mere ghosts and goblins on your street. Caution: this costume only performs tricks and receives no treats.

Keith Richards is by far the SCARIEST rocker ever. He's even scarier than MEATLOAF or GEDDE LEE.

That's pretty darn scary!

(Can't he afford some botox for those drug-grooves etched on his face?)

Keith Richards *almost* looks like a wax figure in that picture. I wonder what he would look like after a face lift. I wonder if *anything* could be done with his face.

You're a genius! Of course I'll go as Ahmadinejad! A straight-edged razor and a three-day beard shouldn't be too hard to find. Now I just have to perfect my "I'm the President of one of those Middle Eastern countries, couldn't care less about human rights, hate Israel and everything it stands for and am fully prepared to level the rest of the world with the ground with all the nuclear weapons I have in my pockets"-act, and I'm golden.

Quirks: I don't know how the guy has managed to stay alive this long. For all we know he might be a zombie!

cardiogirl: Oh, don't touch the face. That's the face we've all come to know and... well, come to know.

And for those twins, there's always the Palin/O'Donnell option.

Bitch & Witch... hahahaha! Love it! With my walker, I'm all set to go as Betty White. (And with my luck, I could always fall over dead in the process!)

Boom Boom: I know she's everywhere but I love that Mars Bar commercial where the guy says "C'mom, man, you're playing like Betty White" and she goes "That's not what your girlfriend says". Okay, well I thought it was funny.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

Hello Goodbye

Today a bit of a reflective piece. Rather than being funny, this is  about the funny. It's a day of mixed emotion at nonamedufus . You see, after several months of inactivity I've dropped a couple of former blogger buddies off my blog roll. I kept hanging on and hanging on hoping they'd return to active blogging but, alas, after waiting in one case five months I've decided to let them go. I'm going to miss - going to? I have been missing - Margo at the Screaming Me-Me . She was one funny lady. From time to time she and I would engage in a feud or two for several days at a time but it was all in fun both for us and, I think, for our readers. And we'd leave each other funny comments, poking fun at each other. I miss her friendship and our humorous exchanges. The other blogger I'm letting go is Chelle, The Offended Blogger . Chelle was a special lady. In addition to her own blog she created and managed Humor Bloggers Dot Com where humour bloggers like m...

The Dangling Conversation

There's a debate underway in my household between my wife and I. I say "underway" because it hasn't quite reached the "raging" stage. If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
