Halloween is upcoming and soon I will be attending the annual Halloween costume party. I really do not like dressing up , however I enjoy the company of friends .
Each year a different theme is decided upon.
Two years ago was the Lord of the Rings. Very fun, we all dressed as characters, had LotR games, poems, singing etc. Dinner was with traditional medieval recipe's (recipies?).
Last year was just a simple medieval theme to make it easy on all of us who went way over board the year before. A lot of the same stuff.
This year the theme is "Rejected Superheroes". Think of the movie "Mystery Men".
Well, being my, oh, so uncreative self I need help deciding on what I want to dress up as and making it simple at the same time.
The only ideas I've been able to think of was "Mediocre Man" or "Captain Malaise". However, I can't think of what either of these so called heroes would wear as a costume.
Any ideas?
Or if you have other ideas of rejected superheroes I could sure use the help.
I don't want to spend a lot of money. It needs to be tasteful and non-vulgar.
I know I can count of the people of Hatrack 'cause you guys are so creative and helpful.
Smoking jacket, eyeshade, copy of Bonjour Tristesse. Black beanie, world-weary sighs, and fuzzy slippers.
You could make the eyeshade and a fake book (or used-bookstore it), go thrift store shopping for the jacket, buy cheap slippers and a cheap hat. Sighs are free.

You could go as earthworm-man and serve mud pies for dessert. Make a spider-man type of costume but have a worm on it instead. You could throw dirt at people instead of slinging webs, but I'm not sure if that will go over well.
What else...Y-man (instead of X-men), Y as in Y chromosome. Dress up in a stereotypical manly fashion (though if we're going for rejects, then it might be better to dress like a stereotypical male slob who sits in front of the TV watching football).

Monosylabic man. I designed him after a kid I know from school. He in the two years I knew him never said more than a three word sentence, but he was my section leader in orchestra. You could be dressed like a normal teenager (boy would be best, but I don't remember who started this thread).

The HumanScorch: buy a longsleeve white shirt and white pants from a thriftstore, then set an iron on various places until it shows iron-shaped scorchmarks. IronMan: Same outfit, and carry the iron at the party. The FreePress: Same outfit and same iron. Volunteer to press the wrinkles out of other folk's costumes. If you want a mask, scorch two barely-nontouching iron-patterns onto a white cloth wider than the iron. Then for eyeholes, cut out the centers of the scorched parts while leaving the scorched edges showing.

I say cut neck and arm holes in a garbage bag, and wear it over your regular clothing. Then when someone asks you are you "such and such" smile and say of course! (You are Amorphous man and can be whatever they want you to be )

You could dress like my ex and be "Obnoxious Man!" No no, just joking...
You could take a large cardboard tube and paint it to look like a toxic waste drum and wear it over a toxic green sweatsuit. Ta-dah! Guardian of Chernobyl! Lord of Three Mile Island! All normal humanity beware! Toxic-Waste Man is born!

All hail the mighty funny Jeff Foxworthy. A man who understands the redneck psyche and the male psyche as well.
