Hey, be nice...I did it on paper for about 10 iterations in 3 different patterns.

Then I saw the sums of each line and stopped.

And then I rode my bike home, uphill, through strong winds.

:p

I had to share this in the forums

replace img with image. :)

Does this mean you're the antichrist?

O.o

Thanks for that, i was sat here wondering what I'd done wrong. Every other forum I've been on has used [img]

I'm more antipasto than antichrist :D

That made me actually lol.

My old computer is broken beyond repair, which is no big deal since I got most of my files off of it before it bit the big one.

I didn't get my music, though, and I want to switch up the stuff I have on my ipod.

No big deal, I thought, since I have my ipod. Oh wait, can't put songs from my ipod on my new computer. Minor deal, I'll just dig up my CD's and reload them into itunes.

Oh, big deal now, since they've been scratched a bit over the years and now itunes copied them complete with scratches. Bigger deal, since I've since lost or given away some of these CD's.

So now I'm downloading the scratched albums. Bite me, record companies and itunes.

I transferred over all my music to a new computer using the ipod as a hard drive. I can't remember if I needed to have originals to do that though.

If they're ripped from CDs, they aren't protected.

so you should be able to pull the music off the ipod and save it as MP3 files or whatever.

might I suggest YamiPod for this purpose.

edit: My ipod's in the car, so I can't try right now.. but I recall it being pretty straightforward.

Simple thing. Don't get an iPod, don't use Itunes. you've paid for the damned music, there shouldn't be any form of protection on them! I use my nokia as an mp3 player. I can stick the songs that I have paid for onto any pc I want (I have 3)

DOWN WITH APPLE!! *ahem*

After spending 14 hours straight in front of the computer editing educational video clips about occupational illnesses like repetitive strain injury syndrome, numb legs, strained eyes and bad posture, I'm now suffering from every single one of these.

Okay, I was invited to a Halloween party. Um, I'm broke and I have NO idea what I should be. I thought about just buying those vampire teeth that you pour a mold into and they fit perfectly onto your own teeth and just wearing sexy black clothes and go as a vampire...but come on. Doesn't everyone do that?

Anyone have any ideas?

I was really poor one year, so coloured one of my fingers gold with a gold pen and went as goldfinger. It really was as s**t as it sounds.

These are not my ideas:
1) Dress up as you normally do. If someone asks what you are, tell them you're a werewolf. If they ask why you have no hair or fangs, explain that it's not a full moon.

2) Get a bag of white balloons and a box. Put the box over your head and cut out holes for your arms. Paint the box a bright color and the word "soap" across it. Then tape the bubbles to the top of the box around your shoulders and head.

3) Tape a bunch of green or purple balloons all over yourself (wear green or brown clothing underneath). Go as a bunch of grapes.

4) Wear brown clothes. Get a package of fall silk leaves for decorating (you can get 50 in a pack for about a dollar at craft stores). Tape them all over your arms and on a hat. Get a stuffed bird and perch it on your head. Go as a tree.

5) Wrap yourself in a roll of orange felt. Cut armholes and put an orange ski cap on your head. Go as a carrot stick.

6) Safety-pin a bunch of cheap watches and costume jewelry on the inside of your coat. Go as a con man.

7) Get a large box and paint it white, green or tan. Make a hole at the top for your head and armholes. Glue on some magnets and some post-it notes with shopping lists and phone numbers. Go as a refrigerator.

8) Get a roll of orange yarn and a few bags of roasted pumpkin seeds. Glue them all over a cheap orange sweat suit. Go as pumpkin guts.

9) Wear a t-shirt displaying your favorite brand of booze. Get a foil pie plate, punch two holes in it at either end, and run string through it. Put it on your head like a hat and tie it. You're a bottle of your favorite drink.

10) Glue some (clean) garbage all over a sweat suit. Go as a trash heap.

11) Throw a white sheet over your head, and cut a hole for your head to come through. Wear a yellow hat and paint your face yellow with make up. Go as a fried egg.

12) Get a poster board, make up a funny advertisement and paint it on. Hang it around your neck and go as a billboard.

13) Put on your rattiest clothes and get a toy shopping cart. Fill it with junk. Go as a shopping cart/bag lady.

14) Dress like a mailman. Get a stuffed dog and sew it's mouth to your pant leg.

15) Get an gorilla costume. Get one of those headbands with the springs on it, but remove the silver balls from the end and glue on tiny toy air planes. Carry a little Barbie doll in an evening gown and you're King Kong.

16) Get a large box. Cut a hole for your head and arms. Wrap it with gift wrapping paper and put a big bow on your head. Make a large gift tag out of construction paper that says, "To: Women, From: God." This year, you can honestly say you're God's gift to women.

17) Wear all black and a pair of dark sunglasses, or glasses with a rubber nose. Get a strip of fabric you can fashion into a sash (like a beauty queens) and use fabric paint markers to write, "Bless you," across it. You're a blessing in disguise.

18) Get a box and paint it white. Make holes for your head and arms. Paint or draw black spots on it and go as a die. If you have a partner, make two and go as a pair of dice.

19) Get an old black sweat suit. Get yellow fabric paint and paint a double-line down the middle, vertically, front and back. Glue some tiny toy cars up and down your front and back and go as a highway.

20) Get a clear plastic bag, and a bag of assorted colored balloons. Step into the bag and make leg holes and arm holes. Fill it with balloons half-blown up, while you're still in it. Tie it off at the neck. Get a piece of paper as a label and write,"Jellybeans" across the front. You're a bag of jellybeans.

21) Get a bunch of Barbie dolls and a black sweat suit. Attach the dolls randomly all over the sweat suit. You're a babe magnet.

22) Get a medium sized box. Cut a hole at the bottom for your head, and a large, square opening in the front. Put pipe cleaners as antennas and glue soda bottle caps on as knobs. Put it over your head and wear all black. You're a TV announcer.

23) Wear a black sweat suit and randomly attach single socks all over your clothes. You're the sock thief from the drier.

24) Get some yellow yarn and brown pom-poms. Glue them all over an old sweat suit. Put an old colander over your head as a hat. Go as spaghetti and meat balls.

25) Wear a clown costume top and paint your face. Get a large box and paint it a bright color. Make a hole for your waist and put it on as if the bottom of a skirt. Go as a jack-in-the-box.

26) Glue a bunch of newspapers to old clothes. Go as paper mache in progress.

27) Get a bunch of small, single-serving sized cereal boxes. Glue them all over some old clothes and bring a big, rubber knife. Go as a cereal killer.

28) Get a box, cut arm holes and a hole for your head. Wrap it in pretty patterned gift paper. Stick a bunch of tissues coming out of the neck, and put on a hat covered with tissues glued all over it. Go as a box of tissues.

I liked the con man idea for my bf!! Those are some cheap ideas, but for once, I want to go as something sexy. Every year just about, I've gone as something...not so sexy, if you get my meaning.

I do appreciate that you found some clever ideas. The goldfinger thing (what you made up), made me laugh. Nice! What did your friends think of that?

Cheapest Hallowe'en costume ever. All you need some regular clothes, a hat and some toilet paper.

Put the clothes on, wrap the toilet paper around your hands and head, bandage* style and then put the hat on the top to keep it in place - You are now the invisible man.

Or woman.



*If you have actual bandages, you could use those as well.

A friend very successfully went as a "bad dream." He was in marching band, and wore just the top of his uniform... and no pants (he had on colorful boxers).

If you're comfortable walking about in your underwear, you could modify that.

Haha!! No, I don't think I could do that with co-workers. Clever idea though.

Another probably-risque one was a Freudian slip. You get a slip and paint psychology terms all over it (test it first; when I did it, the fabric absorbed the paint...it was not good).

Or multiple personalities: Just get those "Hi, my name is..." tags and go for lots of names. Stick them all over your outfit.

My friends figured I was lame. And they were right!

Last year I got a costume as a fairytale character, but gone evil. So you couldwear like, a yellow skirt, blue top and stick a red cape, black wig and a red hairband, carry a garden gnome around and you're bad snow white.

Or I went as Cinderella, it was a storebought costume. But basically, a long tatty skirt, ripped to the thigh, a corset top and put talc or something on her hair to make it dusty. Then carry a duster with you.

Wow, worth1000 has a whole new look.

Get a white bedsheet. Cut two eye holes. Put it on your head and go as a ghost.

If you want a sexy costume, don't wear anything else under the sheet.
