I don't have any time to think of something on my own, so here is something that I stole from Raizin. Enjoy!
LAST MINUTE HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEAS FOR 2002
(cheap and easy)
Dress up as a host of a halloween party; not the host of the specific party you are at, just a host in general. This way you can wear your own clothing if you want. Go around asking people if they're enjoying themselves. Bring out some imported wine from the kitchen. When the actual host of the party says, "Hey, that's my wine," say, "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave my party now."
Wear beads. Say you're the Spirit of Mardi Gras! Refer to yourself in the third person. "The Spirit of Mardi Gras would like another drink." "The Spirit of Mardi Gras will eat your soul."
Lots of white powder. All over. You're going as anthrax. When people say, "What are you?" say, "I'm anthrax. Get it?" Then if they say, "I find your costume very offensive," say "If I was real anthrax, you'd be dead by now." This white powder costume also works for theme parties too. If it's a monster party, you're the abominable snowman! If it's an eighties party, you're cocaine!
Wear a suit and tie and say you're Bob Bennett, the Republican senator from Utah. Some fun Bob Bennett tidbits: In 1998, Utahns elected Bennett to a second six-year term in the United States Senate. In that election, Bennett proved widely popular with Utah voters, winning by a 64 percent margin. His staggering popularity is probably due to the fact that half the state of Utah is his wife.
Go as How You're Really Feeling. Tell people, "For Halloween, most people wear masks, but on this day, I'm taking mine off." Smile and say, "I'm genuinely happy to be here." If someone tells you that's not really a costume, frown and say, "That hurts."
Wear bunny ears and tell people you're the easter bunny. Say that when you were growing up, your family couldn't afford to celebrate both halloween and easter, so you had to do them both at the same time. Carry around an assortment of raw eggs, and leave them in inconspicuous places.
Go as the person who's too cool to dress up for Halloween. Make fun of other people's costumes as viciously as possible, then say, "I don't really feel that way; I just have to stay in character."
Be Passive Aggression. A good way to portray this is a a plain white T-shirt with the words "I am Passive Aggression" written on it. If someone dressed as, oh, I don't know, an alien says that he doesn't get your costume, say, "Well, at least I didn't wear a dorky alien costume. You know, not that I'm saying your alien costume is dorky. It's a very good representation of who you are. I really feel like this costume does justice to your personality."
OR don't be Passive Agression. Be Agressive Agression. Wear a shirt that says, "I am not Passive Agression." If said alien costume boy approaches you, bite his ear off.
Go to a Halloween party in normal clothes and say you're a surfer dude. If someone askes why you aren't dressed for surfing, say "Why would I go surfing in October? at night? at a halloween party?"
Take a trip down memory lane and put on some clothing you haven't worn for weeks. Say, "I'm September me. I'm just like now me, except I happened a month ago." Pretend you don't know anyone that you've met since September. Make lots of cultural references to September, like, "Did you see American Idol last night?" or "I wonder what teams are going to go to the World Series," or "How about that President Bush, huh?"
