FakeGAF 8: Overthirst

I still find it baffling that Outback Steakhouse has people convinced the blooming onion is a legit Aussie dish.

Yeah, I don't know either, but if I want steak then I go to much nicer places than Outback. Also I prefer the actual ring even if it is more difficult to eat.

So I arranged a date for 6pm at a German restaurant with the Japanese girl. I'll bring her home later to have some whiskey and enjoy the night view over Lujiazui but I hope the weather plays along. I'm kind of pissed that I don't have a room anymore, might come up with an excuse and just book a single room in the hotel accross the street for the remaining days...

Outback steakhouse is an insult to then heritage of my country. My ancestors didn't descend upon this land like an invasive species to be tokenised by novelty restaraunts.
 
Outback Steakhouse is a bad joke, but so is this:

Crikey, I've been stung by a manta ray

Does she have a place that she would otherwise be staying? Can you stay there? Would she offer if you told her you don't have a place but are planning to rent a room at the hotel?

a house nearby has this little lawn ornament dog looking through binoculars. I've always wanted some kind of cat looking at binoculars to hide somewhere with a straight line of sight. Finally found one today.

I put it next to a tree about a hundred yards away facing the dog. I hope some day someone appreciates this.

Outback Steakhouse is offensive to my rich cultural heritage.

So the thing is she's been living at the Fudan dormitories which are quite far away from downtown where I live. Now living in downtown has among many other benefits also the advantage of being closer to the airport by roughly an hour, it wouldn't make much sense for me to go to her place (plus the dormitories don't allow overnight stays...). I will drop the idea of me renting a room nearby at dinner tonight 'because the couch has been killing me and I need proper sleep' (which is actually true, a leather couch and 30+ degrees at night are a horror).

I am looking forward to celebrating the sex!

I went trick or treating as a hobo for my last two childhood Halloweens.

No, wait, I did it it college too. I went trick or treating as a ninja when I was 21. lol.

Ran into a Cosplay thread from 2010 and I gotta say thank goodness for current moderation policy cause I wouldn't be posting here if they still let shit like that happen...

I did Anakin Skywalker/vader on 5 different occasions and Luke twice

Pretty much just wanted to do something safe

I haven't dressed up to trick or treat in a long time. I did dress up as Ash Ketchum for a Halloween party a few years back. Now when I buy the candy I just take my 20% off the top and work hard to scare people away from the house so I can keep the rest.

I'm the reverse. Dress up all the time and love it, but basically never eat candy because it makes me sick.

My first purchases when I move out are going to be a sewing machine and a dremel tool. Already inherited a nice drafting board to work on. Some nice things will be made

Well to be fair, you could still pull off the trick or treating without looking creepy. Me on the other hand...I can't be a 21 year old 6 ft. tall black guy dressed as whatever running around on his own knocking on doors for candy without getting some looks. I can't even walk around regularly without getting some looks. So costumes are reserved for parties and cons, and even cons are a bit of a stretch because I'm not big on being photographed and don't feel like spending the day turning down photos.

No one above like 13 should be trick or treating (unless they're going along with kids). It's weird.

If teenagers show up at my door sans kids I'd give the candy and an incredulous look

If 20 somethings show up sans kids they're probably getting questioned
You're that guy that refused to give me and my roommate candy.

Ooh, any idea which costume you'd want to start with?

This came in the mail earlier today, but I haven't decided whether I'll do the full costume yet. The knife works well in my existing sword collection and the necklace works as casual wear (although it's pretty large for a pendant). If I do the full costume, I'm probably just going to order that too.

I went trick-or-treating at twenty when I was in college, but that was because faculty housing was basically just down the street from student dorms so it was pretty expected.

I don't go now except to escort young children, but costume parties are my jam!

Yeah, I don't know what happened. I was the same exact way, would eat all my Christmas/Halloween/Easter candy the day of, and now I can barely touch it. Like one day I woke up and my stomach was all "that's the last bit of candy you're ever going to enjoy."

We tend to get lazy teenagers over here who don't dress up and show up well after we've stopped handing out candy for the night with backpacks.

There's something about the Vorpal Blade being a kitchen knife instead of a sword that makes it even more ominous. It's awesome.


I'd still like to do that skull kid cosplay but I have to make the mask and I haven't decided on a material.

Well I've mentioned wanting to do an atomic wonder woman Cosplay but I'm definitely waiting till I'm more fit for that tho I might start some parts early. Not sure beyond that. A Mei Cosplay would be the best I can think of for my physique


Looks good. I hope you do end up doing the full costume :D

I live in a residential neighborhood. Maybe in some areas it's common and customary for adults to go trick or treating, but here it's viewed as a fun thing for little kids and that's why I participate. I'm not here to donate candy to some grown dude/chick.

Oh, I remember you saying that now. Yeah, it seems like you'd have to have a pretty static physique if you're making your own costume.

Are you working on the physical fitness right now, or is the contingent on moving out as well?


We never get trick or treaters.

#perksoflivinginthemiddleofnowhere

aww it's such a fun tradition! Did you go to another neighborhood when you were younger?


I have no idea where that's from.

Well and you need to be a bit toned to pull the costume together. Impact is lost a bit with flab.

I'm working on it a bit but ill go harder when I move out. Rn its just squats and walking pretty much
I'm hoping to get this one apartment next to a bunch of sports fields so that would be great

Ah, don't think I've ever played anything from American McGee.

It's an interesting game. The main pull comes from the visuals but it's not one of those games that turns to crap if you remove the art element. It still plays very well.

Disneyland got some exclusive Haunted Mansion Pop! Vinyl figures that they only sell in a single shop in Downtown Disney. They've been out of stock since the beginning of the year but I still go by to check them every time I go.

I'd by them from the local collectible shop but they jack up the prices and I'm not big on buying things that are new well beyond their retail price. I already beat the scalpers when I got my Majora's Mask 3DS.
