Carnival Costume: Ideas?

[infrogmation]

I'm trying to think of ideas for my costume in the Krewe du Vieux Carre parade on the night of 15 Feb. I want an anti-war satire or protest theme.

My sub-Krewe has the theme of Bayou Off, combining the news events of mosquito control and political corruption. Half the krewe will be dressed as mosquitos, the other half (including me) will be Pest Control people in white jumpsuits.

We get to customize our costumes. Some of the exterminaters are going with "Off" based themes like "Jack Off" and "Smirn Off". I'm trying to think of some theme satirizing or protesting the Bush regeme's plans for never ending war. I'm Peace'd Off? Wear a top hat, lable myself as "Arms Industry" and spray Peace-Away? War'ned Off? Suggestions?


Back During Gulf War Episode I, my sub-krewe were wearing giant foam rubber penis hats (Don't ask. Well, okay, the theme was "Genitalia of the Rich & Famous"). Two guys masked as Saddam and Bush the Elder, the World's Leading Dickheads. I customized my phallic hat with stabilzer fins and labled it "Screws Missle - A million bucks a bang".

I think I surfed onto your journal this time from "Palenque," but I know I looked in a while back when the Japanese tissue pack puzzle was being pieced out.

With our shared concern about the current rush to madness, I'm adding you to my Friends list, and I thought I would say "Hello."

A Malaria theme could be cool here too.

Peace'd Off

I'll vote for that one, too. I'm trying to remember the "Screws Missile"...was I there for that parade?

And do you have a top hat?
