While enjoying a casual stroll in the outdoor sauna that is Barrack’s Road, I noticed that the transient furniture shop that was filling the old Goody’s space had vacated. In its place: a business called “Spirit Halloween”. Upon perusing their website, it appears that Spirit Halloween is, not surprisingly, a costume shop.
Some of the finer wares include:
-Ronald McDonald’s Ketchup Hands
-The ‘No one at Ren Fests ever looks like this‘
-The parlie (no, not a leprechaun costume)
-The Falsie
-and the Tuffy
Which costume matches you the best?

Holy crap. That looks just like parlie. except slighly less creepy, and more verticle.
Ugh. There is yet to be a decent store in that space. A costume shop is the dress-up for a real estate funeral.
The Spirit store is great…. the one last year in the defunct Colonial furniture store on West Broad St was phenomenal. I, as usual will be something slutty. It just works so well for me, why change the formula.
Well Floozy (@3) it seems that Spirit has plenty to choose from.
I recommend this:

It’s where quality and creativity come together.
I haven’t pick one out yet but it’s not going to be the nice beaver costume.
Dieter… this may interest you more than a nice beaver.
Costume stores rule. That is way better than Goody’s. I can’t wait to add another “Sexy ———” to my already slutty costume collection. I am still drunk form last night. Tuffy, thanks for the blue crab all you can pick-fest. But really, the Shocker as a costume? WTf? I happen to not think the “shocker” is awesome or funny. Don’t put your pinky in my butt. I will kick you in the nuts.
@5 Floozy I would have thought you might have enjoyed this costume more.
Pssst Diets, I had an all-you-can-eat blue crabfest last night at Tuff’s. You know you are sooooo jealous.
@6, my “house” still “smells like” crab. Big time. Glad you had a pickin’ good time.
I tacked the shocker one on there b/c it is so stupid and ridiculous. I will not put my pinky in your butt. You’ve got my word on that.
That’s how you treat your Honolulu homeboy? I’ll just have to live with the fact that Shen doesn’t share her crabs- perhaps that IS a good thing
@10: Omg, I lub you. I love people who give me crabs. Wait, what? But for realsy whoever thought of the Shocker should be donkey-punched. I almost said whomever there. My bad. That woulda brought 26 World out of lurking to correct me. HEy where you been 26? I wanna e-make out with you…
@11: Oh shit that’s right. Me and Diets have a Hawaiian bond. We are going to do a hula dance at the next cVillain party. Yeah bra that’s right. King Kamehaha and shit. Wahine. Mmm I want some poi.
Shen got crabs at Tuffys house last night.Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Quick… Shen is still smashed. Someone call her up at work and pretend to be french, but leave out every third word.
How do we french Shen at work?
Ce n’est pas une bonne idée, je vous donnerai un bon coup de pied dans les couilles.
Haha, good luck with that, I don’t think online translators do slang for “balls”.
Vous êtes tous des enculés!
Babelfish translation @17 - “It is not an good idea, I will give you a skilled of foot in the testicles (neuticles?).”
Babelfish translation @18 - “You all of are f*cked up the ass!”
You gotta love the French. They have a verb just for fucking up the ass. Oh, hey I’m NSFW today btw y’all.
o
i guess when you have as much sex as the europeans, you dont want to waste time saying, “ah cherie, so do you want to have zee anal sex”, you can save at least 2 seconds and get down to business by saying ” lets do anal (with french accent)
Tuffy: this is hilarious. Funniest thing I’ve seen ’round these parts in a long, long time. w00t!
I must, however, as the resident style* dork, point out that the apostrophe on ‘ween, as an abbreviation for Halloween, when rendered with so-called “smart quotes” (as it is in the title of this fine, fine post), should in fact point in the opposite direction. A good rule of thumb is this: the “tail” of the apostrophe should point towards the part of the word that has been elided.
*And I prefer the Chicago Manual of Style, don’t you? The AP guide is sooooooo pedestrian.
Stanley stfu. Footnotes on a blog. Omfg. Stop. Go beat one out or something.
Thor, asking for anal in French is way sexier than it is in American english.
They have a verb just for fucking up the ass
Frottage?
And aren’t the “spirit halloween stores” just transient things that move into empty retail spots for the few months around halloween?
/ how’s my tails, stanster?
Frottage is rubbing. And yeah, those costume store are usually transient.
@ 25
Well then what’s the verb, as I would dearly love to, ahem, conjugate it.
@24 would you like to see my frottage?
the technique of creating a design by rubbing (as with a pencil) over an object placed underneath the paper;
also : a composition so made
I hear that gravestone frottage is very popular
23: You make a compelling case. For me to poop on, I mean.
24: Them there are some fine-ass tails. For me to frotteurize, I mean.
@26: Enculer. It’s got the word for ass right in the middle of it. Omgawd, the French language is awesome.
If French is so awesome, why does their salad dressing blow goats? Hmm? HMMMMM?!?!?
/zackly; le pwned; zomg.
Your tossed sald blows goats.
Shen really gets my goat.
I meant, WTF does French have to do with salad dressing you weirdo?
@12 I would be posting, but I opened up this thread, and my Mac began to reek of bad tequila, Bud Light, and drunk-sweat so I had to go take a Zantac, a shot of Patron and a nap just to recover. Mon dieu!
What I think Stanley is saying (if I may…) is that French salad dressing tastes worse than an armadillo afterbirth smoothie. If the French rock so hard, perhaps they should consider a better national salad dressing.
Ohhhh French dressing. Who actually eats that shit? Retadrs.
P.S., Swiss cheese ain’t from Switzerland.
@35 Tuffy understands my complaint.
Retadrs. Haha. Damn you keyborad.
@ 36
The only taste I share with Richard Nixon:
French dressing on cottage cheese.
/not for everyone.
Swiss cheese ain’t from Switzerland.
Yeah right, Shen. Next thing you’re gonna tell me that this Grade-A Authentic Spanish Fly I bought isn’t from really Sevilla. Like, whatever, dude.
@39: My mom used to eat that all the time back when I, well, had a mom. Wow. That takes me back. It looked sooooooo gross. I still can’t eat cottage cheese to this day.
@36 American swiss cheese is modeled after Swiss Emmental. So there is real swiss cheese with hole in it.
Emmenthaler. Yeah, no shit. My point was French dressing isn’t from France.
@43 well you could have said just like russian dressing isn’t from russia
I soviet dressing, russia frenches you.
/where’s parls?
the french make good fries though. and kisses!
@46: Those fries were made from 100% pure American freedom! Not those lousy, unbathed frenchy Frenchmen!
i was waitressing in miami during that era and stupid cubans kept coming in & ordering freedom fries. i said we didn’t have any & gave them mashed potatoes.
I always prefered the Freedom Onion Soup myself
/merka!
cubans are inconsistent. they still ordered french onion soup. i didn’t work mornings so i don’t know if they ordered freedom toast.
cubans are
inconsistentincontinent, what with all those potatoes.Celine Dion is wildly misunderstood in the English-speaking press. She is not a sentimentalist of the Anglo-Saxon tradition, but a quasi-transcendentalist of the Mediterranean Catholic tradition. Thus Anglo-American writers perceive her soaring epiphanies as egotism, when in actuality they are the opposite, an embrace of the otherly, of the selfless grace of the transcendent. She has no record of bragging, contra the well-known SNL impersonation by Ana Gastmeyer.
Shen?
Shhhh.
Not a community, so that won’t work.
I can’t hold out any longer. I love Celine Dion.
@56:
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we’re gone
And that’s the way it is…
