RAWR
My bloke is going to a rave type festival in a couple of weeks and the theme is Jurassic. If you have the best costume you get free entry next year, so I've been instructed to help him come up with an awesome costume.

You get points for originality, but when I suggested he cover himself in engine oil and go naked for crude oil puns, he wasn't having it. Any ideas Off Topicers (Otters?)

*please note, I have to make this costume so we'll have nothing too constructively elaborate please!

EDIT: Forgot the alt question: what's the best or worst fancy dress costume you've ever seen?

Go as a teacher with mortar board and gown.
Possibly a cane and a Latin Primer. Morning suit optional.

When we were young we always thought our teachers were from the stone age or earlier.

ahh I see
I think that's too subtle for ravers

Glue three Wotsits to his head
and he can go as a Triceratops. Noone will know that was a Cretaceous dinosaur.

I believe the sauropods were late Jurassic
So if his wang is long enough, he could tie it back to hang out behind him like an enormously long tail and be a diplodocus.

A girlfriend came to one of my fancy dress parties
in a silver bikini bottom and two foil cupcake holders as a bikini top. Said she was a strawberry tart.
Another time her interpretation of 'Wimbledon Common' was a joy to behold. It was very common.

No help to you - just thought I'd share.

I knew someone at a uni fancy dress party who just turned up in his boxers and claimed to be a premature ejaculation - "I came in my pants". It's been done, but it was funny.

i can assure everyone that
4 people dressed as traffic lights (ie, one in red, one orange, on green and one black for the post) is not that great an idea. Especially under club lights

Go as the East Devon Coast
But not the chalk cliffs because that’s Cretaceous and he’ll be laughed out of the event for making such a faux pas.

I hope you don't mean the last glacial period that peaked 20,000 years ago, because you're about 65 million years out.

The event advertises it as "Jurracid Park"

Best costume I ever saw
was 2 blokes dressed as tetris blocks that fitted together. Oh and another guy in a giant cardboard packman costume was pretty good as well
(wehttamman via B3ta for microwave, Mon 12 Apr 2010, 11:55, Reply)

my bloke had a video game themed fancy dress party a while ago
and someone went as pacman by papier macheing a beach ball and making a giant pacman head out of it. His friend went as a ghost with a huge cardboard frame, but he couldn't fit through the doorways.

I went as a lemming!

Really he should go as one of Mu's multicoloured dinsoaurs, check out her (?) profile.

Then deposit massive piles of shit everywhere for a blonde lady in gloves to rummage through.

I recall way back when
reading a website/blog type thing where the guy made loads of things, including some properly awesome fancy dress things. I reallyreally wish I could remember what it was. I think he went as the panel of American Idol one year and there was a nice bit of him deciding what material to use for Simon's hair
