Who should I say I am for halloween?
 

Here's my mask.

I've got a greek theater mask with a sad face.



I don't know much about greek theater except for the Oedipus Cycle and Prometheus Bound. And I know of some of the comedies but never read them.

Anyways, I don't want to be any character from the Oedipus plays, or Prometheus. Nor do I want to be a greek god or famous hero like Odysseus.

Suggestions? Please give a brief bio if they are more obscure. If they are mythological and aren't obscure and I don't know them, shame on me. If they aren't mythological characters, well. . . then a little bit less shame on me because I've only really studied Greek mythology.

philoctetes

wear a nice cologne!

santa when he met medussa?

Any musician in a group that currently refers to itself as a "collective" should set you up OK with that look.

I'm gonna wear a toga or a tunic with that BTW, not the plaid shirt in the picture.

just go around screaming "SPARTAAAAAAA!", everybody will laugh.

I'm for Samhain.

how aboout

"hey kids im mr boring halloween costume guy, its not even scary"

Agamemnon?

I read your post and looked up the character, not familiar with him. (shame on me! I should have known him for killing Paris) Are you implying that any cologne I'd wear would smell like a festering wound?

ahh that looks close to my face, just say you're me.

ZEUS

A cunt who wishes your costume was as cool as mine.

I can't think of a reason why Zeus would have such a warn down look on his face.

Man, too bad I don't have a fat smiling mask. Then I could be Dionysis

Your bible set off my smoke alarm.

what bible?

Keep the flannel shirt and say you're Bob Vila.

why do you want to use it as a costume or even dress up if you dont know what it is?

Because it is cool?

How should I know who it is suppose to be? Am I a fucking expert on greek theater masks?

hahaha.

you could get some goat horns and a goat tail and some flutey something or other and be pan?

You don't want a well known character but you want a character that you are familiar with? May I ask why you are asking us for suggestions, then?

And you don't know Agamemnon?

I know Agamemnon.

I meant not familiar with Philoctetes- so shame on me.

I don't mind saying I'm someone that I'm not familiar with, I was just stating I wasn't familiar with Philoctetes- not that "I am not familiar and thus I can't be him."

Oh, I miss read then.

I'm thinking I should be a male character from the Lysistrata. Seems to work with what I am- sexually repressed.

get a king costume to go around it.

philoctetes stank so badly they had to put him in his own island!

i can't think of a better way to be on halloween.

unless it' dressed like a philipino prisoner who dances to michael jackson's "thriller"

news extra: go as al gore

be steve shelley. my little brother's doing that.
