Last year, Anne and I went to a Halloween party as a pimp and his ‘ho.
We had an awful lot of fun putting the costumes together, because while it is hard out there for a pimp, as long as your pimp hand is strong, and you can recite Antonio Fargas’ poem from I’m Gonna Git You, Suka, it’s pretty hard to lose.
Here’s me, reminding everyone that my bitch better have my money. Not half, not some, but all my cash:
This year, we went to the same party, as the same characters . . . who had become zombies. Here’s me, reminding everyone that my bitch better have my brains. Not a cerebellum, not a stem, but all my brains:
All night long, Anne and I kept singing RE: Your Brains, which was tremendously amusing to both of us. We only paused for a moment, when we won the costume contest award for Best Couple’s Costume. Our prize? Wristwatch walkie talkies. Yes, it is the best prize, ever.

Wil, great costumes. I fear though that I haven’t felt the need to dress for Halloween for years. Yours, though are greatness.
Um… YOU WIN AT LIFE.
That’s all.
Great costumes.Looked like fun. Glad you won the contest.
Zombies are big this year.
Brains………..
Very nice! Love Anne’s look. You’re scary.
I’m stuck dressing up as a benevolent witch – we haul around very young kids in our hay-filled trailer. It’s a semi-rural area.
I added warts and green make-up one year – several of of littles wet their pants. Yep, I’m stuck, and I can’t be too scary. I may snarl a few times, just enough to give the kiddos a thrill.
Happy Holloween.

Now I’ve got that song in my head for the rest of the night! Awesome costumes, Wil!!
*blinks*
Um…woah. Thats probably the best costume Ive seen in ages. No wonder you won.
heh! You guys look great!
Awesome prize!

Jesus. Congratulations man…you look f*cking terrible. You are either really good with makeup or you stayed up for a week to make your eyes look so shitty. Fantastic.
Good shot and costume work, the teeth pull it off.
What’s the make and model of the wrist walkie talkies? Any chance of letting us in on how they work…it’d save a dime trying to find a set that actually does.
All blood and guts, and I love it!!!
I hope you use those watches when you’re in the same room, because that would be the ultimate geekiness.
Well, at least you’re not unreasonable. I mean, you’re not going to eat said bitch’s eyes.
You two are freaking awesome. 🙂
that’s kind of the most amazing thing ever.
now i’m off to my own halloween party, as kaylee from firefly! whoo!
maybe next year i’ll be a zombie kaylee 😉
Wow, that costume is pretty damn awesome. You deserve the win.
Wow, great costume.
I always go as something dead just because it’s more fun. I <3 fake blood.
….and that song gets stuck in my head *all* the time. Now I blame you.
nkicroft: reaver kaylee, surely?
Love dat chest hair, Wil. I love halloween, we don’t really celebrate it here in Australia though which is a bummer as it’s lots of fun. This year I’m working nights over 30/31st so no fun for me. I’ll dress as an evil reindeer for xmas instead 🙂
that’s pretty awesome right there.
good scars, there, in particular.
Cool costume, Wil. You would be ready for WEHO’s Halloween carnival!

I am guessing that Anne did the makeup application – looks like Hollywood for sure 🙂
Awesome look – and way cool prize! Let us know how they work. I would love to get a set.
You know, I think “The Zombie Pimps” would make a really good band name.
What’s wrong with me? I covet all gadgets – now I wand wristwatch walkie talkies!
What a perfect gift for a pimp and his ho, so he can keep track of her, and her keep track of him in case things go wrong.
I’m trying to picture zombie conversation…
My costume this year?
It’s a commentary on the nature of the slut costumes that are all over the halloween market. I might wear it down to the casino after I do all the holiday stuff with the kiddies. Win some money in the contest.
It’s a circular cut short cow print skirt, lined in bright pink, worn over bright pink tights. I’ve made a cow print bikini top (Think 1960’s bikini, it covers, lol) to which I’ve attached an pokey udder to each bosom area. There is a pink bow in the middle of the bikini top. Then cow ears and horns on a headband with a big pink bow. I’ll wear my black Chuck Taylors with this.
I expect I’ll get told, “Nice udders” all night.
I tried to talk my no dress up husband into being Mama Cass so I could go as a ham sandwich, but he would not placate me.
That’s a pretty excellent way to recycle costumes! 🙂
Dude … the chest hair … it’s just … so wrong.
Brilliant, but SO wrong.
Congrats!
That much chest hair requires much more facial and neck hair, imho, but superb zombie make-up! BTW, What the hell is on your teeth?
Becky, that reminds me, I saw Wil on a TVLand Myths and legends of hollywood thing last night. One of them discussed that very myth about Mama Cass.
Zombies are completely awesome! The costumes look so great. Glad you two had a good time and you won cool prizes. Congrats!
Great costumes!
I love that song, btw – so much so that I bought the t-shirt last month so I can wear it to work on Halloween.
Last year, Anne and I went to a Halloween party as a pimp and his ‘ho.
I’d just like to point out that this sentence, as written, can very easily be taken to mean that your wife went as a pimp and you went as her ho.
My three year old is going to be a ladybug this year. Last night she told me she was going to be a zombie ladybug and she would dine on my “sqwooshie heart”.
I blame SpongeBob.
You look like Ed Norton in the first picture. I don’t know if that’s good or bad – was just my first impression (:
I, you never know…
My sister-in-law and brother as a pimp and his ‘ho
(sorry about picture quality – it was scanned and copied… I keep it on my desk at work to look at whenever I need a chuckle!)
I was thinking you looked like “Evil Mirror Universe Pimp”.
Awesome costumes!!! And such a fun song! One of the highlights of Dragon*Con was Stephen Granade’s music video of Re: Your Brains that played on Dragon*ConTV.
My Joe wants to know when are you gonna run for senate? Because when you say ‘I speak for a generation!’ you’d actually (a) mean it and (b) be speaking truth!
I’m jealous of your prize.
The zombie version gives new meaning to, “because if she doesn’t, I’m gonna put my foot DEAD in her ass” — such a classic movie – did you have the zombie goldfish in your shoes, too?
Awesome costume and song!
Halloween is definately my favorite holliday of the year, although may may also have something to do with it being my birthday…
Looking forward to your upcoming NUMB3RS debut!
Oh my goodness…that is such an awesome costume! I loved the movie reference…that movie was so funny! My friend and I joke about it all the time…good to meet a fellow fan!
I know I mentioned a while ago this gentleman Voltaire, who does a series of inappropriate Star Trek songs. Here’s one about your wife’s costume, entitled Zombie Prostitute:
