Post by Bananas in my ears on Oct 12, 2006 10:02:11 GMT -5
I realize I haven't posted here in like a year, but I'm looking for some suggestions. I have a Halloween party to attend (tomorrow...I know it's early but that's when it is). I wanted an original costume, and I thought of Marty McFly from Back to the Future....but then it hit me....Mike Jones....from the greatest video game ever.
Before I go any further, I realize that I am combining elements from ST 1 and Zoda's Revenge, but I don't think that's a big deal considering no one will know who I am anyway. Ok so here's what I'm thinking right now:
Jeans
T-shirt (either light blue or black...I have both)
Jean Jacket
Spiked hair on right side of my head only
Yo-yo
2 bananas (for placement in my ears during crucial photo-taking times)
Bottle of cough syrup filled with red Kool-Aid (for when I need to replenish some hearts)
I know there has to be some ideas out there that I haven't thought of, so I want to hear them. And the items have to be small enough for me to carry....I can't be lugging around a basketball or a baseball bat.
Help me out here guys.
Oh and I'll post pictures when I can get them.

That sounds cool (and by the way welcome back)
I'm thinking maybe a baseball? Mike is an ace picther after all.

Well, Mike's hair (at least, in ST2) was more of a "Caesar cut"=short ends, long top, spiked up front (it's how I wore my hair for quite a few years). AND, yes, it was named after Julius Caesar, because that's how he wore his hair...  All of what you're doing sounds great, but I instead of styling your hair (do you have brown hair, BTW) spiked on one side, my suggestion would be to style it like the Caesar. Otherwise, you're good to go!! ;D |

You could outfit a car to look like Sub-C.
Or carry around R.O.B. & call him Nav-Com.

Try buying a toy katana or some other toy sword to represent his most powerful weapon (besides the Ultra Psychic Shockwave) in STII: Zoda's Revenge.

paint a couple ping pong balls red and take a piece of twin or some thing rope and tie one on to each end of the rope. You have yourself a bola. Maybe so people know who you are, you can carry a small radio in your pocket playing "Mike Jones, Mikes Jones, don't act like you don't know my name" you know that song right  . |

That's a good idea!
A small detail that I've found while watching the ending slide-show sequence to the first ST game, is that Mike is wearing shoes that bear a striking resemblence to white Chucks (Converse All-Star high-top style shoes). It might be worth looking into. If not Chucks...then at least try and wear some white sneakers.

LOL, a thought just occurred to me...
Compare MJ and Marty Mcfly from BTTF. Marty seems, to me at least, like a good representation of what Mike would look like at 18 years old. So, bananas, if you wanted to go as Marty, you could probably use some of your same props that you would've used for MJ... ;D
