This is a question Dressing Up

Rotating Disembodied Head asks: Have you spent 10,000 man hours recreating a costume of a minor character from Star Trek to wear at conventions or merely turned up at a party buck-naked and sporting a mouthful of custard which you spit out on demand and declare yourself to be a zit? Tales of the old dressing up box, fancy dress parties and stealing panties off next door's line. Said too much.

Pirates v Ninjas
This is, I believe, a fairly standard theme for a fancy dress party. My flatmate, in his capacity as Judo Team Captain, decided upon it for the Judo Team Pub Crawl. The flat tagged along, despite all being gangly and weak like a heroin-chic stick insect.

Chris, being a Weebl and Bob fan, went as a Ninja Pirate. I, being quite disorganised, went to a charity shop at the last minute and bought an orange tablecloth, a plastic gun that fired foam darts, some maracas and a rubber fedora, put on some sunglasses and told everyone that I was a Mexican Bandit. People nodded compassionately.

What happened, as I vaguely recollect, was that the decision was made to run between pubs while humming 'The Devil's Gallop' - see here www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7bsL00aCGg - as loudly as possible.

This was worth it for the moment when someone I knew went outside a pub to make a phone call, and was greeted with the sight and sound of the music from Dick Barton, a stream of pirates, then a stream of ninjas, then a ninja-pirate, then a vague shambles of a Mexican stranger who said 'Hi Jim' before piling into the pub.

He looked satisfyingly confused.

This is why increasing the student numbers was such a shit idea.

Before you know it they'll be speaking with regional accents, eating mass-produced food and voting BNP.

They should execute every third A level student on principle.

Abusive responses from people who haven't the wit to come up with decent posts, is also a sign of prickness. Which is why you're joining the long list of people I've blocked and don't miss.

I've clicked this,
primarily because you mentioned Dick Barton.
