There is no time quite like Halloween. The streets are filled with little rascals dressed up as witches, wizards, vampires and monsters trick-or-treating juxataposed with adults dressed as the slutty variation of just about anything anyone can think of. Africanlegend took Halloween very seriously and decided to come up with not one, but two thought provoking costumes to celebrate the weekend.
Friday night: All Hallows eve.
AL decided to bring the Halloween weekend in with a Bang. AL raided the party supply store and sifted through all the supplies until he found a few things back corner near the masquerade masks section under a cheesy mask of a goblin. When put together he became “Mr Pasion”, a man of passion and love, adorned with aviators, a fancy Latin shirt and sexy pants. “Mr Pasion” mysteriously evolved into KANYE WEST without AL even noticing. AL ran with it and proceeded to interrupt every body’s conversations with the now famous Kanye phrase, “Ei yo, I'm really happy for you and I’ma let you finish BUT...” AL quickly found out that the one thing that the populous harbors is a great distaste for random interruptions to conversations. Furthermore, it became clear that EVERYBODY thinks Kanye West is a total, felony class, douchebag (Read Kanye West article). Very soon people turned on AL and projected their anger towards Kanye West's douchbaggery on him, a poor defenseless man. Eventually it ended with an angry, inebriated young lady yelling out. “Are you Kanye West??!!!!...I f*&ken hate that guy!!” Following that she grabbed the glasses off his face and crumpled them into virtual oblivion, effectively ending the usefulness of the costume.
The Big Night: Halloween 2009
Ripped up pants, a torn t-shirt, and bonded hands meant AL managed to execute his costume perfectly. For this very special Halloween night, he decided he was going to dress up as KUNTA KINTE from the mini series “Roots. Kunta Kinte is widely regarded as the most famous slave of all time and dressing up as Kunta Kinte would be a celebration of a very stirring, thought provoking movie (most famous scene with Kunta Kinte). Problem! How would people respond? Black people got a real kick out it and AL's good friend “Black Wheaties” was left on the ground crippled with laughter in the fetal position. White people had an interesting response. Some saw the humor in it and called it the best costume of the night, while others tried to pretend there wasn't a guy obviously dressed like a slave walking around. The discomfort was characterized by quick glances, head shaking, whispering and the kind of silence you typically experience on a bad date. In the course of the night, AL received no offer for reparations and more importantly did not receive the “Forty acres and a mule” he was promised when he was emancipated at 1200 am.
“Potential Serial Killer” (PSK), a regular commenter on his blog (Stuff-About.com), made an appearance in a sexy, well put together nurse outfit. She then proceeded to try to seduce AL with the final goal of feeding him poisoned brownies (shockingly, yet again she let him live). “Mr Wonderful” showed up in a surgeons costume and proceeded to ask people if he could perform check ups on them. Marc (with a C) backed him up as an insurance claims agent. We also had Mark with a K in a classic Bruce Lee costume and Dan in his Dbag toxic assets costume. Other notable costumes were: a couple dressed as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, The Ghostbusters, Hunter Thompson, Dexter, a middle finger, an ice queen, a disturbingly big man-baby and the cutest little green dinosaur girl you will ever see.
At the end of the night, AL and his team of Halloween Avengers were sitting outside a pizza place eating terrible pizza when a guy came up to them and started discussing starting a Mariachi Band. AL proceeded to suggest the guy should find real Mexicans to play. AL thought this was a reasonable suggestion since Mariachi Bands are typically a Mexican thing. AL was consequently called a racist despite wearing a slave’s costume. Chaos ensued and before the Mariachi Dbag had stormed away, he had been replaced by a raging douchebag that would put even the antics of dbags like Russel Crowe and Mel Gibson to shame. The Raging Dbag walked up to AL's peaceful group and challenged them ALL to a fight. It soon became clear to nearby policemen that they would have to intervene. AL explained to the policemen that he and his Halloween Avengers had been besieged by a guy who should be charged with felony douchebaggery and immediately incarcerated. Once the Cambridge policemen realized that AL had everything under control, they retreated to the other side of the street to address more serious 1st degree Halloween crimes. After the racial tension brought by the William Gates arrest, and the controversial “Arrest a Negro Coupon” article, AL was impressed by the outstanding manner in which the Cambridge Police force had handled the situation.
