Famous Book Characters

[The 5th Benitel]

If you cant be arsed with it tell the school you dressed them up as characters from The Satanic Verses and are keeping them in a secret location for their own safety.

ha, ha, ha, we had this on thursday,

 

Oscar went in as spider man, with a book far to advanced for his age.

 

Does he have to take a book to suit his outfit in with him? If not you can get away with anything,

 

send him in normal clothes and he is just one of the famous five?

[Flying Pig]

Annie wilkes from Misery, all he would need was some padding, a wig, a cardigan and a sledge hammer. He could tell the other kids about a little procedure he likes performing called "hobbling".

 

Isn't she from Emmerdale?

[She Knows It]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd already suggested Where's Wally? which he quickly dismissed. I found a good Cat in the Hat outfit as well, but it wasn't cheap (nb. I'm looking for a 'thrift' angle here).

 

So far his own suggestions have been:

 

a) A punk ("And which particular work of literature would that be from, soft ollies?")

b) John Cena (see above)

c) Spongebob Squarepants (again, see above)

d) The devil from the South Park movie (I'm getting annoyed by this point)

e) Scooby Doo (close to twatting the bastard by now).

 

He can't seem to get his head around the whole Character from a BOOK angle.

Hence Oscar Schindler. The book by Thomas Keneally.

He can go as a characters from one of Gary Glitters 'books', he won't need any clothes.

[rargh]

Isn't she from Emmerdale?

 

Naaaaaay!

[AngryOfTuebrook]

The beardy bloke from The Joy of Sex.

[Uncle_Meat]

One of the rabbits from Watership Down, thus ensuring plenty of blackmail material to embarrass him with later on in life.

[Anubis]

A Children's Book about Being Bullied (Help Me Be Good): Joy Berry: Amazon.co.uk: Books

 

Put a pair of specs on him, dye his hair ginger, and he can be the kid off the front cover of this book.

 

This can dovetail nicely with his fundraising for Red Nose Day when he allows other kids to hit him for a penny. Tell him I've been saving all of my copper in anticipation.

[sir roger]

Peter Pan always used to be a fairly easily put together one.

 

Did they ever do an Indiana jones book ? Leather jacket / light coloured trousers / hat / painted on stubble - I'll leave the others to mention your involvement in finding the whip.

 

Argos do a Darth Vader outfit in young lad size for £20 if you don't want to put anything together yourself.

[Edward.]

Just get a large cardboard box, paint it with a wooden effect with some door handles on the front and he can be the wardrobe.

[RobbieOR]

How about Awesemo? The robot out of south park.

[She Knows It]

Funnily enough, his school have combined World Book Day with Comic Relief, hence the fancy dress. I'm tempted to offer him a tenner to beat the living bejesus out of him.

 

 

I'm sensing some of you are sharing his confusion between book characters and animated stars of the screen.

[She Knows It]

I'm trying to persuade him to go as Professor Quirrell from The Philosopher's Stone.

 

Do you reckon Jade would take a fiver for the costume?

[god knows]

Thats my mate Prof.Quirrell. His real name's Ian Davies not Ian Hart. He was in my class at Cardinal Allen in West Derby(now Cardinal Heenan).

 

He was a bit of a loon at school. Cardinal Allen was quite a decent Catholic boy's Grammer school at the time. I was there from '76 to '81 but then the classes were streamed i.e. clever fuckers in one form, not so clever fuckers in the next and so on. Ian was in 4J when I joined him. I had been in the the top stream for the first 3 years but they thought I was a disruptive influence on the bright boys(even though I came first in every exam) so I was moved to 4J(the last chance saloon).

 

It was the time of Madness, the Specials, the Selector, the Beat, The Jam etc so I entered my new class with a No.1 skinhead. My new classmates loved the controversy this caused and the next day half the class had had their hair shaved to the bone; except Ian. He had had a skinhead, except his had a little 3" plait sticking out of the middle of his head. Not the back; not the top; the middle of his head between crown and forehead. He was duly sent home by Sister Scully and forced to remove said plait. He complained about his human rights being violated but there weren't any human rights in those days. I think he may have been given the strap for it as well but my memory's not as good as it was. Happy times.

[Acid]

He can go as john cena, from this book.

 

[Section_31]

 

Oh for fuck's sake, I haven't seen this one!

 

I had some pity for the girl two weeks ago but now I want to fart into her drip.

 

Back to the subject.

 

A hammerhead from The Wizard of Oz.

 

He will need a flat head and no arms for this task.

Pah , I have an Indiana Jones book in the loft & practically all of the stickers are completed in it as well.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

What about jim davidson, he has an autobiography out. All he would need is a ginger wig, a wife, and a girlfriend oh and a shit load of racist gags.

[Section_31]

He could go as Tom Sawyer, just buy him a cheap fishing rod.

We used to play rugby against you lot and for the record we were shit. But I was the captain and we beat you so stick that up your arse. No offense.

[sir roger]

Don't feed him or let him wash for a while , ask around the younger children in school for some lice & put the mintiest stuff you can find on him - voila , Ivan Denisovich

[Unrighteous]

My kids have to go to school next week dressed as a character from a kid's book. My daughter is sorted because she's got a bajillion Disney Princess costumes already, but I'm struggling for something for my son. All he's come up with is the Grinch (I've found a costume, but it's an adult's and it's 55 quid plus postage so he can get lost).

 

Help me out!

 

PS. Not Harry Potter.

 

Kid's book? Fucking hell.

[Stouffer]

Send him as Andy McNab; combat trousers, green t-shirt then stick a black rectangle over his eyes.
