Halloween and Darwin Awards go together like blood and guts. We wackos at
DA Central thought it might be fun to create a set of Darwin-themed
costumes for Halloween. In 1988 a Halloween Winner tried to impersonate Dracula & accidentally
pounded a stake through his heart. The 1998 Halloween Winner who wanted to
be a mummy wrapped himself from
head to toe in cotton gauze, then lit a smoke. What's your idea for a
Darwin Award costume?

duct tape is often central to a Darwin Award situation; guess any costume could be enhanced by a few strips of the silver miracle tape. Wendy - Friday, June 19 at 10:19:50 PDT

Guy Fawkes.
He of trying to blow up the British Parliment Buildings in 1605 fame. This requires a little preparation. First get naked. Then smear yourself all over with something sticky and prefferably inflamable such as petroleum jelly. Then roll around in a bath of gunpowder, which will stick to the jelly. Go to the party smoking a long seventeenth century pipe.... James Harmer - Saturday, June 20 at 14:50:11 PDT

Since the original Irish Pooka : Person of the Fairy Little People who take several forms. The forms preferred are the goat, horse and bull. When someone does not please him, he pushes them over the mountain's edge and he flies to the glens of the Burren - S/he is also credited with the kidnapping of people (usually drunk) and is the main reason people dressed up to ward off the pooka - to confuse it.
Dress up as a Pooka. Reputedly on a horse with a long, long grey/white veil. pfiddle - Tuesday, June 23 at 04:53:12 PDT

The Plastic Man: When he started feeling lack of air,due to small breath hole closing because of shitty selfmade costume from dozens of plastic bags, he decided to use the first near thing in his garage, the circular saw, and detach upper part of costume to get some air.Yet, he succeeded, even with half cut throat.

I'm thinking the polish guy who cut off his own head. You need a chainsaw (either fake or with the chainsaw removed) And you need to make your head look served with scar makeup and lots of blood. Maybe a muscle man costume with a sigh that proclaims you are a darwin award win and seriously manly angela - Thursday, June 25 at 01:40:57 PDT

Come as Lawn Chair Larry. Get one of those cheap woven fold up chairs. Remove the seat so you can slip your body into it. (You'll need suspenders or something to hold it up.) Put a black drape around the bottom so your own legs don't show. Put a piece of black cloth around your waist and attach it to the seat then add some fake legs.
Attach a few helium balloons to the top of the chair and voila - you're ready for lift off.
On the plus side you can suck helium out of the balloons and sound like a demented chipmunk for most of the evening.

I think it's obvious that the only true "costumed character" as a Darwinian would be "John Q. Public". We all do so many stupid things things in our lives and come so close to entry....... John Gale - Wednesday, July 01 at 08:26:45 PDT

Tuck a bunch of firecrackers into the waistband of your pants (storing them until you want to light one off). No explanation necessary. Downside: if someone gets drunk, they might think it's a good idea to come over and light a few of your fuses. Gabriel Jacobs - Thursday, July 02 at 09:08:52 PDT

So, remember the Brazilian Balloon Priest? Last month we went to a Costume Party and my brother dressed up as him. It was very simple: he put on a priest outfit and we attatched some helium balloons on his back! It was very funny and easy to do. If you want, I have some pictures!

Oh my - so many options! An awful lotta yer tales would lend themselves to creative costuming, but to truly "represent" (as a verb, the way "the young folks" use it, nowadays) the DAs, I'd suggest a giant bleach bottle, for sanitizing the gene pool, with appropriate labeling to that effect (including the website address, of course).

The elderly man decided he wanted to go to Goodwill today. He wanted his elderly wife to stay in the car to watch their dog. While the man was shopping around the whole store heard a loud crash. Everyone happily shopping all the sudden had the look of terror of their faces. Everyone walked outside and the elderly lady and the dog were lodged in the side of Goodwill. I guess she wanted a good parking spot.... Kevin - Friday, September 04 at 22:07:59 PDT
