Tainted milk, Contra players,Twin peaks characters,mushroom, your mum, Japanese thunder gods and super girl

It was 5.30pm and I had two boxes and no idea what I should go as for Halloween. We were all going to meet up at 7pm at Martins house to carpool and start the festivities. (Winkity wink, drinkity drink) Dan suggested I go as a hedgehog and use 10ml pipette tips and stab it into the box and voila! Animal! I felt wrong using company stuff and even though I'm a cheap arse, I wanted to do it without it being a huge "no no". What is scary and what is box like?

Tainted chinese milk with melanin! Yes! That's scary! It kills babies!

Once I had that idea, I ran on adrenalin and it was insane how time flew by so fast. This must what those pastry chefs on food channel feel like when they have to construct their fancy gravity defying cakes feel. I cut holes on the bottom of the box so that I could actually be IN the carton of milk and then I had to decorate the carton as such.
(Lord, 3 million % of your Daily Value needs)

A typical chinese design for milk. Cute cows.

What milk carton is complete without a spout and it's obvious instructions

It's Chinese milk right, so it has to be written in Chinese.

I was super fast! I did the finishing touches at Martins place while scoffing down Mio sushi (Mmm) and waited for everyone else to show up. I had no idea what everyone else was going to be so it was insanely funny when I finally saw them...

As the title suggests, we were all sorts of characters. The most amazing had to be Les with his latex bald cap, dressing up as the Giant from the Twin Peaks series. It was freaking, I opened the door and it was just done so well, that I was confused, should I be scared or be laughing? I did the latter, alot of it.

I was one of the DD as I was not that keen on drinking all that much and wanted all that weekend to my non puking, headache driven self. Here are some of the many photos that we took:
"The girls". Look, I'm pouring my tainted milk.

The old couple. Eww.

The log lady and the giant from Twin peaks.


Contra player 1 and 2, respectively.

What surprised me a lot was that, not a lot of people at the party knew about the whole melanin milk story. Really? Wow, I was kinda saddened. (Not by the fact that I was not recognized but it is kinda sad when something as huge as the Melanin milk incidents aren't well known. Perhaps it got buried underneath all the political this and that)
