T-Minus One Week until Halloween

Thanks to Joanne, the allure of the pirate, it falters in the face of these costumes. It’s one week until Halloween, and time for a little game I like to call, ¿Quién es más faygele?

This Guy.

That Guy.

That Other Guy.

Dude.

Yarr! Take your pick!

    The link to That Other Guy didn’t work.  I really don’t want to miss any WTFery!

  2. amy lane says:

    Okay—that last guy looked almost straight…

  3. Marilyn says:

    dood, the eyepatch on dude looks hot :0

  4. Eunice says:

    So far That Guy is in the lead, but I can’t in conscience vote without seeing That Other Guy.

    Dude looks kinda angry, like he picked the costume just so someone’ll say something and he has a reason to fight.

  5. Wryhag says:

    Hard to choose without a glimpse of man-titty.  And, yeah, That Other Guy done disappeared.  Maybe he’s a paranormal pirate.

  6. Lori says:

    For some reason, This Guy (#1) makes me think, “My name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die.”

  7. Cathy in AK says:

    This Guy looks like Louise XIV or some other mamby-pamby dead French king, but at least he’s trying.  The Other Guy is AWOL, so no idea, and Dude’s patch is enough to make him manly.  Or at least manlier.  So That Guy is my pick.  He looks like he’s more apt to slap you with the flat of the sword as a form of foreplay than actually use the thing.

    YES!!! Or a really, really wonky Muskateer. (sp)

    And Dude does at least look straight. That guy looks like a gay Johnny Depp and that is just wrong. Even with all the weird mannerisms Jack Sparrow is still straight. Or at least as straight as you can be with all the rum he drinks.

  9. Chris says:

    Damn, was That Other Guy in an Adam costume or something, that Amazon removed him?

  10. I’ll take Dude. He looks like he’d give me a good time before he snapped my neck and made a pair of pants out of my skin.

  11. Lattice says:

    This Guy looks like Yanni.  For serious.

  12. MamaNice says:

    Uh-uh, no WAY is “dude” straight! Anyone with a Captain Crayon Beard like that is, at least, swimming in both ponds. (Um, I just made that metaphor up).

    If we were picking which one we’d most likely leave a Halloween party with and regret when the light of Nov 1st hits, I’d say “That Other Guy;” at least he has a bit of man titty peeking out, and the costume doesn’t look like it came right off of a rack at Kmart. Though I suppose a straight man would be more apt to buy a Kmart costume.

    But for sheer “mas faygele” ?
    #2 – That Guy, all the way. The face he’s making alone looks as if he’s getting a bit of somethin’ aft…or is if fore?

    The husband tells me that pirate costumes, are, by definition, pretty gay, so he says you need to include an all of the above.

  13. Julia says:

    Ooo, deffinately “Dude”. 😀

    I honestly think the third one doesn’t want to be seen by us. xD

  14. azteclady says:

    That Guy, totally. Just look at the cleverly positions scimitar (or whatever it is he’s holding)

  15. Sarabeth says:

    That other guy is way better than Dude. More mystery.

  16. kass says:

    Not voting, because I don’t believe polls like this are a gay-friendly thing.

  17. MacKenzie says:

    Dude looks like a lady.  (Couldn’t help it—he got my vote).

    But The Guy … c’mon—he just looks like a bad impersonation
    of Tony Orlando sans Dawn.

    Mac

  18. Emmy says:

    Dude looks like he wants to kill a biatch.

  19. babz says:

    This Guy doesn’t even look like a pirate!! *lmao*

    I’ll vote for Dude. The red sash did me in.

  20. EJ McKenna says:

    For some reason, This Guy (#1) makes me think, “My name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die.”

    Totally!

  21. lilacsigil says:

    …and maybe these pirate costumes aren’t meant for straight guys, or guys obsessed with proving straightness through costumes on a day that’s meant to be about play and being someone you’re not. Seriously homophobic poll here, guys.

  22. MacKenzie says:

    The worst part is, I have my outfit picked out for Halloween, been planning it and picking up stuff for it for months.  Guess what it is?

    You get two guesses, and “a badger” is not one of them.

  23. I chose That Other Guy…cause I’d love to see someone dressed as a 404 error page!  🙂

  24. Maya M. says:

    Is it just me or did one of them look like Balki, the immigrant cousin from that old show ‘Perfect Strangers’?  Of course, I’ve just dated myself by saying so….

  25. MamaNice says:

    Ok, for all who are bitching about the “homophobic” edge here – fall off the high horse please! First, anyone who knows the SB’s knows they have no issues with sexual preference, and, like SouthPark, can poke fun at one and all with equality.

    I love me a person who can poke fun at themselves and make silly with the stereotypes (whatever that may be: men who enjoy dress-up, aging single female with too many cats, exhausted Mom with messy hair and two different shoes on, etc) it shows a strength of character and a confidence in one’s own identity.

    To get all, “Gasp! I’m not playing with you!” Because the SB’s aren’t afraid to be un-pc in a bit of good natured fun, well, enjoy your view from Planet High and Mighty.

  26. MacKenzie says:

    exhausted Mom with messy hair and two different shoes on

    You just described me on a good day.  A good hair day.

    I echo everything you said, and think you said it very well.

    With that, I’ll still go with Dude Looks Like A Lady.  (smile)

  27. I never thought I’d see a Laurie Anderson reference combined so neatly with a shtickele of Yiddish.  Brava!

  28. AmandaG says:

    That Guy looks like he’s about to chop off his man junk.

  29. Soccer Mom says:

    heh.

    My seven year old is going as a pirate for Halloween.  He looks far meaner than any of THOSE GUYS.

  30. Debra Date says:

    Dude has my vote simply because of the boots. Ah luurvs me some man-boots.

  31. Deb Kinnard says:

    Cada uno es el más feo.  How is that possible?

    Hey, homosexuals are funny. Heterosexuals are funny. Ever seen me in my Halloween costume?

  32. isidri says:

    I picked “Dude.” It’s the matching doo rag and sash made from crushed red velvet that sends it over the edge.

  33. Hilcia Suarez says:

    I HAD to pick “Dude” because he reminded me of the Pirate in The Wiggles….. I’m still laughing, and can’t stop!

  34. Lu says:

    this guy apparently idolized Inigo Montoya when he was younger – or maybe last week.  Not a bad costume, but the hair’s mighty flouffy-pouffy.  Didn’t big hair go out in the 80’s?  I can see him on a made-for-television child-friendly program, as the not-so-bad pirate.  Or a comedy channel production.

    that guy looks like he wants to be Jack Sparrow, but doesn’t quite have the budget, the rum, or the confidence.  (But he does have a dentist.)  I would not believe him asking “But why is all the rum gone?!?”

    that other guy may have fallen overboard, annoyed the captain enough to have been forced to walk the plank, or might in fact, not really be a pirate but just an overly imaginative person with internet, determined not to let us have photographic proof of anything. 

    Dude looks to be a guy who knows that pirates can be dangerous, and would be willing to show you why.  I can see him as a villain or bad-boy hero in a book/movie.  Just give him an accent, a deep voice, and watch him shiver some timbers…

    Arrrr…  my mind has wandered.  What were we supposed to be picking a pirate for?

    anti-spam ahead19 – ahead to the port, with a crew of 19?
