In light of the recent release of the latest Indiana Jones flick, Toys R Us is selling an Indiana hat and whip to complete your costume of the most badass archaeologist to ever scour tombs. If worse comes to worst, you could always use the hat and whip to compete in the Iditarod with your team of burly huskies, once you’ve bought yourself a sled. Now, mush!
You can never be too prepared. While you’re roasting a sausage or two on the grill, you never know when your arch nemesis will pop up out of the woods and attack with swords ablazin’. The BBQ Fencing Sword and Mask not only allows you to look the roll of a vigilante, but will surely scare off any evil forces when they see how rough you treat your burgers.
Do you think Zorro would drop his character just because his wife and children were whining about BBQ ribs? You bet your ass he didn’t! And even if he did, he’d be sure to be seen in the tabloids the next day, totally ruining his bad-ass reputation. Ditch the “Kiss the Chef” apron, you girly man, and start challenging random slices of meat to duels. It’s the only way.
Late last week we say the iPod Ad Halloween costume, and now an equally wacky bunch of Apple fanatics have put together a fantastic iPhone costume. While it might look like they raided an Apple store display, these 60 pound costumes are hoisted on with PVC pipe and ratchet straps.

This year I’ve decided to be a RPG style dwarf for Halloween (mostly because I couldn’t think of a way to be a Tauren or a Death Knight), including a dwarf mask called Motorhead, and a cool looking fake sword. Though I probably should have put more thought into it, like these guys.
I don’t know about you, but I think this is a totally kick-ass and creative costume idea. They better watch out for copyright infringements. But who knows, Steve Jobs might even find an opportunity to use these guys in an ad. — Andrew Dobrow
