Halfbakery: Meeting
The Ugly Baker's Ball   (+11)  [vote for, against]
come as your name suggests

A once a year event (that will never happen of course) in which every half-baker can attend, as long as they come in the guise of their monicker, or else do a suitable forfeit that amuses the remarkable gathering.

Captain Canuck http://www.internat...o.uk/c/cpcanuk2.htm
[Canuck, Mar 27 2009]

Naturally I'll be the one in the pilot's uniform.
-- RayfordSteele, Mar 25 2009


err.... can I just wear a t-shirt ?
-- FlyingToaster, Mar 26 2009


Oh, shit.
-- phoenix, Mar 26 2009


Are we all supposed to have assumed persona-artificia? With outfits? Dude, somebody should have posted a sign or something.
-- WcW, Mar 26 2009


um...I can do that, it won't be easy but I can do it.

hmmmm...
-- hippo, Mar 26 2009


... let's book the bigger venue!
-- xenzag, Mar 26 2009


You think *you've* got problems.
-- coprocephalous, Mar 26 2009


Just got to paint my neck blue ...
-- neelandan, Mar 26 2009


And here is your host... er... wait, what are you again [xenzag]?
-- theleopard, Mar 26 2009


I wonder what [IanTindale] looks like?
-- hippo, Mar 26 2009


Um... a mindful zigzag gone wrong? (I may have to do a party piece - though I did once go to a movie theme party dressed up as The Bridge Over The River Kwai)
-- xenzag, Mar 26 2009


I guess I'll be the slightly tipsy one with a glazed look in my eyes. There should also be some sort of aura surrounding me. (Perhaps blinking like a Christmas Tree?)

I always envision [xenzag] as looking like rolling papers for illegal cigs.
-- blissmiss, Mar 26 2009


I'm in!
-- calum, Mar 26 2009


slightly balding accountant of British ancestry?
-- dentworth, Mar 26 2009


I hadn't considered a self-righting mechanism for myself, but it sounds possible. It's probably an idea on here already.
-- Srimech, Mar 26 2009


the *x* at the beginning of my name comes from a time when I split with my husband but was not legally divorced. So, now I have to come as a *divorcee*?? (red lipstick, big hair and high heels?)+
-- xandram, Mar 26 2009


[I'm in!

No shot offered I'm afraid. Myself, on the other hand........
-- gnomethang, Mar 26 2009


All I have to do is turn up drunk and unable to write my own name...

I can do that!
-- Jinbish, Mar 26 2009


Now how might I become a...
-- Spacecoyote, Mar 26 2009


Fling yourself into the air, howling like a dog. That would do it for me.
-- xenzag, Mar 26 2009


I'm stumped, aside from the stereotypical lumberjack outfit or red serge'd Mountie uniform...
-- Canuck, Mar 26 2009


Ever heard of Red Green?
-- Spacecoyote, Mar 26 2009


I shall come as Wagster. You do know what Wagster is don't you?
-- wagster, Mar 26 2009


I am not coming as a Moebius strip again. And do we all have to wear our square brackets?
-- MaxwellBuchanan, Mar 26 2009

-- FlyingToaster, Mar 26 2009


Can I be the doorman and bounce [Bukkakinator]?

And I'll call everyone outside when [Phoenix] arrives.

I'll be the one dressed in a sheet.
-- zeno, Mar 27 2009


Red Green & the MacKenzie Bros are simply urbanized variations of the lumberjack theme - plaid flannel shirt, casual pants, and toque or winter cap.

Now, maybe I should consider "Captain Canuck"... <see link>
-- Canuck, Mar 27 2009


You could always come as a tin filled with "uck".
-- xenzag, Mar 27 2009


[zeno] you'll never get there in time! 30 minutes before the party, you'll set off from your house at 30mph, then at half-way, your speed will drop to 15mph, at a quarter of the way, you'll have slowed to 7.5mph and so on until you're just reaching for the door....and the party will be over.

I had forgotten about Bukakkinator - yes, it's probably better for all of us if he stays outside...
-- zen_tom, Mar 27 2009


//I am not coming as a Moebius strip again.//

Shame. Here was me thinking the fashion for wearing it would never end.
-- Jinbish, Mar 27 2009


This could be done as a Virtual Party/Photoshop contest where we each just create our avatars in SecondLife. Coming as a stereotypical math geek will be easy for me....
