Bustin’ Makes Me Feel Good
So here’s the problem. Halloween is two weeks away, I’m invited to a couple of parties and am completely bereft of costume ideas. For reasons that can only be explained to my eight-year old self, I want to be a Ghostbuster. The dilemma is that I’m aware it’s corny and has been done ad infinitum. On the plus side, I’m pretty sure I can get a few of my friends to join in. On the down side, no one wants to play Stantz.
I thought I’d turn to the “Ghostbusters Theme” for answers. Now all I want to be is Ray Parker Jr. This is more confusing than expected. As a last ditch salvo, I turned to the video for Bobby Brown’s “On Our Own,” from Ghostbusters II. Needless to say, I’m speechless and need to take the rest of the week off to study New Jack Swing videos. There’s gold in them hills (and presumably in Bobby Brown’s jacket.)
Currently, my only other costume option is this; primarily so that if anyone asks I can say that I’m the big yellow joint. A little help please.

don’t worry about finding a costume; this has you written all over it.
also, lest you feel alone, know that i will be your east coast doppelganger.

I thought you were going to be an oxford comma. Did you drop the idea because you didn’t want everyone to tell you that no one gave a fuck about you? Stupid punk Vampire Weekend kids…ruining everything.

i swear i’ve been debating the banana costume for 2 weeks… and that was definitely a sign. thanks for the help - wish i could offer you the same. the only other idea i had was to be prince but was unable to find assless chaps anywhere. maybe you’ll have better luck than me.

Your cleverness in the banana costume will be wasted. No one will ask; they’ll just assume you’re supposed to be a banana. Every year I reevaluate my life when YET AGAIN I find I have no friends game enough to be Run DMC with me.

That’s a great idea, only a fool would pass it up. Bonus points if Jam Master Jay includes bullet wound.
