The Happier OT Thread: Halloween in A2

Submitted by CleverMichigan… on

If you live in Ann Arbor and didn't spend the night hiding in a corner in the fetal position wearing a Michigan Snuggie and clutching your tissue box and trusty 5th of non-Maker's Mark, what's the most ridiculous thing you saw last night?

I don't have anything really good to offer to start it off besides one of my guy friends dressed like a lumberjack standing IN the intersection of Hill and Oxford trying without much success to start boxing with anyone who walked by. In related news, if you were driving a car, wearing a Superman costume or a sombrero through that intersection... I am so, so sorry.

Dressed in complete Buckeye gear, including red jeans and a red Ohio State cowboy hat. She looked like the Buckeye Guy's daughter, but in red not white. Definitely ridiculous.

I didn't see anything ridiculous, but I spent the rest of the night judging costumes on a scale of 2 pieces of candy to "You are 17 fucking years old and that hat that you put on is not a costume but a hat. I will now reach into your bag and eat all of your Twix."

A guy, in a Mike Hart jersey, wearing a skeleton mask, was "The Ghost of Michigan Football Past." I nearly killed myself.

If any of you guys are students, I was the "Getting Sick Sucks" guy from those posters in the ResHalls and on the buses. It was fantastic.

I was dressed up as a chicken and a guy dressed up as peter griffin came up and wanted to fight me. I had a bag of Kit Kats and I gave him one...he thanked me and walked away smiling.

This thread makes me realize how often I see my internet friends in real life and don't realize it.

Unfortunately my Halloween was relatively normal :|

A guy dressed as Waldo from Where's Waldo and a girl dressed as Carmen San Deigo. They had a baby carrier with nothing in it and kept asking people to help find their baby.

ridiculous things I saw was the way State played against a Minnesota team that tied a conference record with 17 game penalties and still lost. It didn't make me any less upset about the M/Illinois game but it's always good to see Sparty lose.

I dressed up as Charlie Weis since there are a ton of ND fans here. I had a massive FUPA and kept on bumping into people and then apologizing that I was so fat. The worst part was going around asking for ND apparel and people telling me how much they loved ND, it made me want to puke.

One of the guys in the house we were partying at came out a couple hours into the party in his underwear completely covered in grease, all the while running around yelling "You're never gonna catch me!" in a deaf-person voice.

A guy dressed up as a bum with a sign that said "MSU grad."
and
A guy wearing a spacesuit costume (or something like that), but he was wearing it upside down, so it looked like he was walking on his hands everywhere.

I went to the Texas Tech game, and naturally I got a wicked farmer's tan due to my exceedingly low melanin count. I decided to run with it, and found a flannel shirt (and cut off the sleeves), denim shorts, a dale earnhardt camo baseball cap, aviators, and hiking boots with knee-high wool socks. Not the most creative costume ever, but the fact that I had a legit farmers tan made it absolutely disgusting.

According to mylifeisaverage.com:

"Today, I went to visit my friends at the University of Michigan. I saw a student dressed up as Megatron from Transformers. As he crossed the street he spotted another student dressed at Optimus Prime. The two began to face-off in the middle of the street while cars were trying to get by. A policeman stopped the traffic to allow them to finish their battle. He declared Optimus the winner. MLIA"
