Happy Pop Culture Barometer Day
Saturday, October 30, 2010 Halloween rocks. Because it's the one day a year I can indulge my pop culture fantasies without being called a Comicon/Star Wars convention geek. And we at the BD household like to go all out, like here and here, so you can see how much this holiday means to us. Screw the candy! I'm all about the "man, you crazy!"
Like this year, when I transformed my office into Dexter's "Kill Room." For those who don't watch the show, I tried to find a reference pic with no luck, so you'll have to settle for a pic from the video game.
Let's just say people are a lot more patient with me at work now.
This year, Fury really got into a new show called "Adventure Time with Finn and Jake" on Cartoon Network. I could write paragraphs on why this is the funniest cartoon to come around in a long time, but I won't. I'll just say that one of the main characters is a rainbow unicorn. And she only speaks Korean.
Fury dressed up as Finn.
Lessi went with a classic: a Cobra Kai thug.
d Wife went as Lessi's ability to stand up.
What would Halloween be without Jack 'o Lanterns? A day that would finally set gourd-rights activists' minds at ease. But for now, Fury killed and gutted this one (I think it was free-range, though) and created this "three-face" Jack 'o Lantern.
One side was a cyclops:
The other side was a comic book character that he created, named Mazor (reference picture provided):
And for the final side, he decided to go utilitarian by carving a "handy carrying handle":
For mine, I decided to stay consistent with past pumpkins and stay with the Star Wars theme:
Recognize him?
Nope, you're wrong. It is NOT Boba Fett. It's his dad, Jango Fett. Who got decapitated by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Get it?
Below, Fury re-enacts the pivotal scene where young Boba holds his father's head in his arms and vows vengeance on the Jedi.
See? How can any other holiday even hope to compete?

Dude, you are awesome. I was just all proud of myself for finally CLEANING my office, much less transforming it into something. :-)
I think my husband is jealous at how hard I am laughing at your post. I just love Fury and his dedication to posing for your crazy shots.
Also, nice costume d Wife!
Happy Halloween ya freak.
Why have I never heard of that cartoon of Fury's? It must be in the middle of my boys age range of interests, or something. But then, Noah never gets to watch what he wants to watch, so that could be wrong too. Fury rocked it though, for sure!
Your baby girl is a badass, she's all like 'you want a piece of ME?' I can tell. And my answer is 'YES, yes I do.'
Great post BD :)
Happy Halloween!
3of3 has the same jammies as Les Luther, but went with sissy ass pink. We know your kids are coolsr than ours; we're okay with it.
D wife's costume cracked me UP, and you know how painful cracking up is for me right now, so thank you and f#@k you equally.
Happy Halloween to your family from ours, and tell the kids that since its Uncle Donor's birthday, they get to eat 38x as much candy today as their non-fake-internet-relative-friends. Membership has its privileges. ;)
And I thought I was the only weirdo at work...This is why halloween is the best! Love the kiddos costumes and re enactments lol!
Can't get over Fury's face! He's such a natural!
The Dexter thing is completely creepy. The jack-o-lanterns are awesome, though. Hope you're having a great Halloween.
the adventure time costume is great
*chuckle* This is funny! My girls love that cartoon network cartoon about the candy island and the pirate who lives in the whales mouth...what's it called?? I dunno, but it's funny.
I'm pretty sure that Mazor needs marketed. Pure awesome.
I don't even watch Dexter, and I thought the kill room was flawless.
