We took a small child down to Margate on Sunday and went into the joke shop.
It isn't free but made us LOL and if OH and I get invited to one, this is the theme for us.
There was a Fried Egg outfit and a Bacon outfit. They didn't have a toast one but we worked out you could make one out of an old blanket.
Just an idea

I went to a halloween party as a ham sandwich. Witches hat, two large pieces of foam cut like slices of white bread - crusts painted with a match pot worn front and back tied over the shoulders. Piggy mask.

NP who know about these things- how unusual is it to be trying to frame your hypotheses the night before you get your dissertation bound?

Well, they were exciting.....:D

It starts with some fancy dress on Friday
Inch time...not my normal thing....but for the sake of the weekend I'm going with it........



Edit...lunch, not inch.

I knew that Bestival has something of a reputation for fancy dress, but it was amazing just how many people really went for it. The theme this year was HMS Bestival. Some of my favourites included a group of fishfinger sandwiches (not sure what the collective noun is, Chewie might know?) and a rather large flock of seagulls (just the sheer number of them was impressive, about 15). I would guess that on Saturday about 75% of people were in fancy dress.

Not a problem. My hypotheses are quite different (current draft anyway) to what they were at the start).

Better than trying to work them out after binding

I am after a fancy dress item for free and very low effort. Its ideally a joke on 'sight'. I was going I had something I could turn into comedy glasses, in fact I still might have,....(card or paper and my gardening sunglasses).

Any other bright ideas?

Just found this from spirit/fc's posts. How about one of those boards with the letters on that you get at the opticians? Could do a sandwich board kind of a thing. And if you had some specs you could colour one lens green and the other red.

If you need a reminder of your event:

I should be ok for a reminder at the moment. I did my clothes washing yesterday, but still have to tidy up my tent, wash sleeping bag and waterproofs, clean wellies and the old trainers I took. I have brought back plenty of the IoW with me.

I am so grateful for that answer as I am stressed on her behalf

It is of course not the way round things are supposed to happen, but so long as they fit what she has done/ discussed, I'm sure they are equally valid. I don't think I've ever come across anyone actually finishing the same project they set out with...

I'm sure she will be just fine.

I bet if I tried hard enough I could find one between you and my husband.

(in retrospect that sounds a bit Jeremy Kyle, but isn't what I mean)
