Excuses, excuses!

Written by: Anubis

Yes, another issue, another round of "Excuses, excuses!". Lucky you lot! This is the second ever "Excuses, excuses!" article.

So, what topic did you all have to make excuses for? Your topic for this issue was the fact that you have turned up to a Halloween party, and you forgot your costume. Silly, silly.

All the entered excuses were very amusing and loveleh. Here they are for your viewing and amusement.

Inexistence

What? This is my costume. People told me I should take the mask off, it was scaring them. What's that you say? It's a crappy excuse? LIAR! Strangers are just friends you haven't met! Look at you, dressed in an extremely realistic mass murderer costume with super blood squirt action AKA the best costume in the world. Mine pwns yours, and it didn't cost me £1,000/$1,753.58/€1,454.86.

"I didn't forget my costume. It's right here, see?"

"*blank look*"

"Can't you see I'm Abraham Lincoln?"

"..."

"I'm wearing a hat, you ninny."

"Lincoln owned beanies?"

"Shut up."

"Johnny, why aren't you in a costume?"

"Ummm, well, my mum made me a princess costume..... I mean, the monkies ate it!"

"I wanted to go as a pink ink bottle but this mob kept attacking me everytime I wore it! What were they called, PPTers?"

(*Dranzer*) (2)

"This IS my costume. *Shifty eyes*"

"Those are your normal clothes..."

"Well if you want to be invisible woman you can't exactly let people see your INVISIBLE costume you know..."

"Why aren't you dressed up?"

"But I am!"

"Err... no you're not."

"Ahh, well that's because you have to take the Red Pill first."

My electricity went off, which messed up my alarm clock, which meant that by the time I got to the costume shop it was closed, so then I had to make it. I then put it on the back of a chair, and the ghost nicked it. Honest!

Well you see my dog WAS my costume. Or at least part of it. I was going to be a vet and carry my dog around. But my dog ate my vet gear. So not only is my costume gone, but my dog choked on the vet gear and died. So I now don't have any costume at all. Unless I steal yours.

This is my costume! Haven't you ever wanted to dress up as a normal everyday kid?

Syrill (2)

All stores immediately closed when I tried to purchase a costume. I guess they didn't like it last year when I went psycho and attacked people while in a Werewolf costu...Ooooh!!! Are those vampire fangs? Can I borrow them?

And there you have them. (=

The three finalists were chosen by one judge and myself. We both agreed on the final three. They were:

Ixistant

I had a FANTASTIC dog costume, but it ate itself.

Forest_Majesty

"Well, I did have a costume; it was so darling that a bunch of flying monkeys actually thought it was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and they stole it and dumped it in a well. That had a dragon in it. That eats blue-and-white plaid costumes."

(*Dranzer*) (3)

"My dog ate my costume."

"That's the lamest excuse ever."

"Not when it's a giant steak."

PPT voted, out of these three, their all-time favourite excuse for this round. Thank you to absolutely everyone who voted. It was well appreciated.

Well, in joint second place, there were two of the final excuses. These were the excuses by Ixistant and Forest_Majesty. Well done, you guys. ^^;

So, in first place... -drumroll- You already know, don't you? Oh well. PPT's favourite excuse this time was the very amusing one by (*Dranzer*) Well done (*Dranzer*)! ^_^

Until next time, and the next excuses round. Still not getting around to handing out NP. =P
