After laughing like two crazed loons at the mop photos, Doug decided it would be funny to capture an action shot of him breaking something...here's him mid-throw with a CPU monitor we found on the street.
My camera captures photos in a pretty high resolution...but when I shrink down the photos for this site, a lot of the detail ends up getting lost. So here, for your amusement, is a collage of some of the better faces Doug made that I managed to catch in film during the mop fiasco.
Doug and I pounded our Big Buds and made a quick run to the store to pick up some more beeyahs. When we returned we started looking for Josh to give him his beer and we found that he had....
Okay, so check this out: We're back in Manhattan and we're walking down Houston towards my place and this woman is talking on her cellphone and walking towards us. She gets like 8 feet from us and we both suddenly hear this huge fart and as she passes us she says to her friend on the phone "Oh shit, I think these white boys just heard me fart!" and starts laughing. So we chased her down the street and asked her if she'd pose for a pic! In this pic, Doug and I are yelling "Ohhhhhh!" while she's telling her friend on the phone "Oh shit! Oh shit! The white boys that heard me farting is taking my picture and shit! They're taking my picture!" Soooo funny.
A block past the farting woman, Doug finds a mop on the street and decides that he going to use it, as he said, for some "Good ol' fashioned mop-pole-vaulting." Here is off the stairs....
This is probably the funniest pic of the night (or at least 2nd runner up behind Josh Teixeira passed out standing up against a wall...hehe). Bonus points for Doug's face in the background.
Right when we got to Jordan's party we ran into Josh Teixeira who continued his "80's Movie Costume Theme" by dressing up as Gilbert from "Revenge of the Nerds."
It's become a tradition that Doug never figures out what he's going to be for Halloween until right before we head out. And rather than relying on a Halloween store, Doug will usually use, um, "local items he finds lying around" (aka - picked out of the dumpster) to make his costume. (This famed process led to such Halloween costume hits as 1997's Tantric Mysticism of Lippy Magraw and many others).
Anyway, when Doug first rolled into town, he declared that he was going to be William Wallace (the character that Mel Gibson played in Braveheart.) Here's Doug trying to hurriedly dig out a piece of wood to fashion William Wallace's shield from (while I laugh and take his picture and scream "Trashpicker! Trashpicker!" at the top of my lungs).
Doug had just cut off all of his hair so he had to pencil in his "devil-lock" hair with make-up. HAHAHAHA! We hopped into a cab and headed uptown to go to Dave and Viola's party (which you may remember from last year.
Doug couldn't manage to salvage enough trash to make a good William Wallace costume (he needed a shield and a sword), so I talked him into dressing up as a Misfit with me. Doug got to be Doyle...
