Halloween 2009 Pictures
This year I went to two parties, but I wore the same costume to both. I didn't make it, but I did bastardize a store-bought costume for my own personal sense of humor. I went as a None. Say it out loud. Back when my radio in my car was still working, I was surfing stations late one night (or early one morning) and happened upon a Christian talk show. The host was ranting about the recent American Religion Survey results, titled American Nones, which reflected a sharp increase in the number of people who answered the question "What is your religion?" with the option for "None". The "None" population had nearly doubled in size from the last survey, and the host started yelling about "The Nones", "The Nones are taking over", "The Nones are corrupting the nation", stuff like that. He kept calling us "The Nones", and the pun on the word was so amusing that I didn't have time to get angry. So, when it came time to pick a costume for Halloween, I decided to go as a None. But how to do that? Well, an atheist nun would have to be sex-postive, of course, so it should be a sexy nun. Instead of a bible, an atheist nun would carry either The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins or God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens. Since I only had a copy of The God Delusion, that would have to be my "bible". An atheist nun couldn't wear a crucifix, but atheists do have a symbol now - the Scarlet A, also by Richard Dawkins, so it's fitting. Then, just to make sure the pun was clear, and so people wouldn't just think I was being ironic by dressing as a nun, I created and printed a brochure and a business card for an organization I made up called The American Nones, using language from the summary and explanation of the "none" category on the survey report. I even taped one to the top of The God Delusion so everyone could see it. I was rather pleased with the results of my last-minute, put-together costume. October 30th was the Lover's Lane Gang halloween party. It was lots of fun, and their decorations are pretty freakin' fantastic, but I didn't take that many pictures. Mostly they're pictures Datan0de took of my costume. October 31st was Bonedaddy's party, which was also lots of fun. Well, except for the moment where my ex showed up and made a point to speak to everyone except me, making everyone around him uncomfortable. Other than that moment of childish behaviour and awkwardness, the party was great. Again, though, most of the pictures are from Datan0de and are of my costume, plus a couple other costumes. And some boobs. Click on the thumbnails below to see larger images. Please do not steal these images.
