Happy Halloween from all the staff here at Dave's Long Box

No big post today; I'm too frickin' busy looking like a total frickin' bad ass in my frickin' Nick Fury costume! I'll have pictures and a full report tomorrow for those who care, because my Nick Fury costume is more than a simple costume - it's a frickin' all-day multi-media extravaganza!

For now, just know that S.H.I.E.L.D. is watching over you and ensuring that everyone has a safe and Hydra-free Halloween.


Yep, nobody at work is going to have the slightest idea who I am. Sometimes it's lonely being a geek...

Eh. Unless you're dressed as Ultimate Nick Fury, I ain't impressed.

Hydra Alert Level? F-ing brilliant! Thank you Nick....uh, I mean Dave.

Oh sure. Hyrda may not be a problem.

But what about AIM?!?!?

I had the same issue this Halloween. I was going to spruce up my cowboy costume by going as Jonah Hex, but I knew I would spend my entire night explaining who I was.

I went as Nightwing once (Van-Zee, of course, not Dick Grayson) and printed up little explanation cards that I handed out all night.

Super-geek!

Dude, Rock that shit! Say it loud and say it proud!

I went to a partay as Dr. Doom on Saturday and it was a BIG hit!

Moment of the evening- realizing how hard it was to drink beer through a mask and shouting into the night air, "CURSES, DOOM NEEDS A STRAW!!!"

Don't feel bad, I'm currently dressed as Logan 5 (my wife made me the sweater), and I don't expect to be recognized either.

Wa-hoo! Lissen up, ya crazy yahoo. Face front and look sharp, true believer. You better go and make Ma Fury proud today. Otherwise, the rest o' the Howlers might haveta' teach ya a thing or three. Don't yield. Back SHIELD!

Tensor: is your wife going dressed as Jessica 6 with that cute little short dress, or maybe Holly 13 with that wonderful hair?

AIM is always on Yellow Alert, baby!

Hey, at least Nick Fury had a made-for-TV movie, so there's a chance that non comic-fans might recognize him.

I went as Angar the Screamer (my fiance when as Screaming Mimi).

I've thought about dressing up as the Red Skull, but I think that my feelings would be hurt if no one asked if I was the real one or the one that snuffed Peter Parker's parents.

...I mean dress up for Halloween . It's not like I'd go, y'know, BIKING as the Red Skull (my helmet doesn't fit over the mask).

I dressed up as Robin in my senior year of high school (Tim Drake, not Dick Grayson--I had my pride, dammit!). Came up with the idea the day before, spent all night on the 30th trying to figure out how to wrap a red sweater around my waist and not make it look entirely like a diaper [Flash Fact: not possible] and spray-painting black one side of my mom's best yellow towel for the cape. It actually turned out pretty awesome (I won either 2nd or 3rd in the school costume contest, to which I was hubristically insulted). I went to the football game later that night, played guest-mascot for the team, and severely bruised my elbow trying to swing through the goalpost at halftime.

Holy insanity, Batman!

No, she went dressed as a vampire. She actually suggested that maybe she should dress up as Jessica next year, and I said, "Um, doesn't Jessica wear a gauzy poncho-dress that slitted all the way up to her armpits?" She replied, "Well, not that outfit."

Here, I do not actually imagine it may work.
