LITTLE PIRATE: "Are you Jack Sparrow?"
"Depends 'ou's asking, mate."
TRICKORTREATING MOM "I like your costume!"
"Thank you darling."
TRICKORTREATING MOM: "No, I really like your costume."
"Oh look! Princesses! I love princesses!"
ASSORTED GOBLINS: "You're Jack Sparrow!"
"That's Captain Jack Sparrow."
"WHY is the RUM always GONE?"
I hear they're looking for a stand-in for Johnny. Benefits might be nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! But how come you know so much about how this Jack Sparrow guy should look? You must have really, really, really, studied him.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Fabulous! You are GOOD...!!
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA! You do Pirate so well! Captain Jack rawks and so do you!
ReplyDeleteI am off to substitute teach at the Junior High today. Pray for me.
Lynn, do you think they'll notice the height difference? And the big bum?
ReplyDeleteGeez I should have invited you down for trick or treat. Would have been good for a laugh!
Matt, I have put hours and hours and hours of study into this project. Yes. A dedicated student, that's me.
Anita, haha, if only I'd been feeling totally great last night (might be coming down with something and it's not rum!) I would have had a few more facial expressions going on! To my credit I did stay in character...
Cindy I did rock the pirate thing. I am a pirate. I steal words. (WHY are you substitute teaching??? Who has done this to you?! We'll be checking in later to make sure you survived.)
Honestly I think I scared a few kids. They backed away pretty quick as soon as I dropped the candy into the bag.
ReplyDeleteAnd there were a couple of moms who were lookin at me kinda...funny...
Weird eh!
F**kin' A!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awsome costume. Did you do the voice, too?
I worre the same costume I had for the last few years: tired daddy.
Great costume!
yeharr
And I think you may have stirred some mommy loins, too....
ReplyDeleteI'm just sayin'...
yeharr
Looks good.
ReplyDeleteI won't be able to upload any of my pics until late tonight or tomorrow.
Work and school seem to get in the way of that.
You don't look bad as a boy. Or Johnny doesn't look bad as an effeminate pirate. Which is it?
ReplyDeleteAha! It's me other favourite pirate! You know I did the voice too, or as much as a woman with a 14 year old girl's voice can do THE VOICE!
ReplyDeleteHonestly I wish I'd been feeling totally okay last night because I would have really gotten into it. Maybe it's better this way because a lot of little kids were rather visibly freaked out when this dirty pirate answered the door.
And the mommies?
Here's the weird thing about The Jack Sparrow Phenomenon: they don't care. They don't care who's under the make up and the beads and belts.
I'm just saying...
KC- you did dress up right??? It's okay, the pictures'll be worth waiting for!
ReplyDeleteCoffeypot-
"You don't look bad as a boy. Or Johnny doesn't look bad as an effeminate pirate. Which is it?"
BOTH!
By the way, my husband was both amused and extremely disturbed by the costume.
ReplyDeleteI kept saying, "Damn, I am one fine lookin gentleman," and he kept saying something that sounded like, "Eerruuughh."
That is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteMoms looking at you funny?
ReplyDeletehahahahahhaha! I LOVE it. That cracks me up!
Seriously.
ReplyDeleteTold ya I was a fine looking gentleman.
hehehehehe!
Super fabulous costume!! Am very jealous, I definitely could not pull that one off!
ReplyDeleteBut at least now we have uncovered the secret why Ms. Hick keeps her face hidden. Honey, some wax, or a razor and shaving cream could take care of that easily!
cuz you're drinking it!!!
ReplyDeletehaha! I used hair removal wax to stick my beard braids to my chin! It didn't work very well though.
ReplyDeleteNOBODY MOVE! I've dropped me beard strings.
I should have just stopped plucking the whiskers out of my mole hair for a few days!
hahaha! Ain't I hot stuff mate?
Dilling- the rum bottle was not just a prop, baby!
ReplyDeletegreat job on the costume!! hope you get feeling better!!
ReplyDeleteIf I were human, I would say that you look like and attractive human male.
ReplyDeleteOMG. You look fabulous! I did a double take when I saw your pic. That is so cool!
ReplyDeleteBunny, it's all stuff from my closet! Hmm...looks like I really am a pirate after all...
ReplyDeleteI'm just laying low today. and yeah, I felt nasty BEFORE the rum came out!
mechanical friend with dashes and letters and numbers- I will take that as a compliment.
Tod- oh! Please call me fabulous again! Please!
Cap'n Jack, you bad - er' - boy you.
ReplyDeleteI survived. I sub sometimes to make some extra money for JJ's board.
ReplyDeleteHeidi, go to my site and look at my blog role for GIZMOROX and go to her site. It's somehting you can train your horses to do.
ReplyDeleteWOW.
ReplyDeleteDang. You are good, woman. One hot pirate.
Oh, a word about the beard: use spirit gum next time. You have to take it off with rubbing alcohol (rum might work, though), but it keeps fake beards on. Trust me: I've done lots and lots of fake beards on teens who can't grow their own for lots and lots of school plays.
Seriously, it's quite disturbing to come home and find out that your beautiful wife has been transformed into a drunken, but good lookin' pirate.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't so convincing, I'd be a little less uneasy...
"Hi Honey, I'm..."
"Take my picture"
"Let me get the Captain Morgan's out... We're going to need it.."
ps. You still awake? Just put the last mix down... "I Exalt Thee" for 4 and half minutes... Who's idea of a composition is that?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, that first photo of you HAD ME FOOLED COMPLETELY and I was thinking, "Oh, good, she's posted another Johnny and she always finds the neatest ones and I'm so ready for a Johnny fix tonight...bless her heart." Then I scrolled down and felt a wee bit foolish. I guess I don't know Mr. Depp as well as I thought I did.
ReplyDeleteAnd...completely off topic while I sit here wearing the dunce cap, I read about a book on someone's blog last night and immediately thought of you. It's called RIDE THE RISING WIND: ONE WOMAN'S JOURNEY ACROSS CANADA by Barbara Kingscote. It's the memoir of a twenty-year old woman's journey by horseback across Canada in 1950.
Barb (not the one that wrote the book!)
Note to self: "spirit gum" for attaching fake beards...for next time...hehehehehe!
ReplyDeleteJethro, seriously, I wasn't drunken already by the time you got home. That was ACTING! I'm so good at it!
But as you know, the rum bottle was real. That big swig though, I just kind of held the bottle there for awhile. More ACTING. Okay I drank some of it. Went down pretty good too. Thanks for offering.
Arencha glad I don't have a beard in real life honey?
Barb- hhaha, don't feel bad, I confused quite a few kids. And their mothers.
In cse you're wondering, yes, I flounced down the stairs and glared at everybody at the door.
ReplyDeleteACTING.
Very nice! Can I have some Rum? I hear it's not bad. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteMy work here is done...!
ReplyDeleteYou're fabulous, fabulous, fabulous :)
