Fellow Monkeys help me out: I'm currently a senior in college and need a Halloween costume for parties & the bars tonight. So hit me with some good ideas of costumes that won't take much explaining and I can make with my own wardrobe or a quick & CHEAP trip to the mall. Thanks!

As you're posting on a wall street board for college costume advice I assume you're a huge dweeb, so just go as Mark Zuckerberg or some shit.
I am going as a gorilla/ape and the wife a banana...have to represent WSO. duh.

MUGATU from Zoolander.
Or just Derek Zoolander (just pick up a very flamboyant cheap suit at a thrift shop, blue makeup) since Mugatu's reverse mohawk is tough to pull off.
@happypantsmcgee , thats wicked offensive brah..... better not wear that anywhere near 617 or you will get literally murdered. If Bosox fans are flipping cars they will make it look like an accident.

I wore something that would make the users who perceive the guidelines of attire as a religious cult have an aneurysm. I wore velvet suspenders, silver cufflinks with authentic rubies, a contrasting collar dress shirt, a bow tie, a tailcoat, a fedora, a pocket square, and an umbrella with a hidden blade, along with a Phantom of the Opera mask.

I am, wait for it... wait for it... MAPLE. SYRUP. FARMER.
I was eating pancakes and thinking about how much I love maple syrup. And then I realized EVERYONE LOVES MAPLE SYRUP. So, in recognition of all the men and women who've given their blood, sweat and tears to the daunting challenges posed by the dangerous, fast-moving maple syrup business (sorry to get all sappy on y'all there), I will don the flannel and trapper hat of the well-known but rarely seen Canadian maple syrup farmer.
I'm going as a monster again, and wearing a big shaggy brown gown. When people ask me what kind of monster I am it's fun to say "a monster dump."
Holy crap sooooo many gangnam costumes tonight.
Hell yea there were. My friend actually wore the Psy costume, walked into the party right as the song was coming on and broke out into the dance. He had all the beezees for like 5 minutes. And then he didn't. Talk about disappointment :-p

I will personally be donning my shitty deal costume.
Yield Junkie All the Way...
A Capitalist Pig...If that doesn't work out then I'll just be a Chilean Miner....
Oddly enough I'm going as a Chilean Miner.
On a side note, I saw a funny one that you could make relatively cheaply. Just get a large bag that you can actually fit in, through some suspenders on there so that it hang off your shoulders (with you in it) and then get one of those "Hi my name is..." stickers and write in the word "GOOD" and you are ready to rock and roll.
Regards
I think you should go as the WSO monkey. Get a monkey suit, tie a blow up palm tree to your back (so it comes over your head) and carry a fake laptop around your neck.
Anyone that send me a picture proving they did this will get a free WSO shirt. Obviously, not an easy costume to pull off, but would definitely give me (and I think everyone else on here) a good laugh.
Whoa, there are WSO T shirts???
Merchandising would be pimp Patrick.
yeah, we've had a "store" for a while: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/store
some funny shirts in there actually.
Gotta say that going with 90's wrestlers is hilarious. Me and my buddies will be hulk hogan, macho man randy savage, stone cold, etc. you name it. Everybody can relate to that.

A black-eyed tiger woods with associated mistress Antoine Dodson costume. They have a site selling these for 18.95 +S&H
dick in a box...er, nah that was so 2007. I'd go with MC Hammer or the Beastie Boys.
I like the Kenny mother fucking Powers suggestion.
Yeah, but should he go with the first season poofy mullet, or second season cornrows with beads?
Or you could be Ashley Schaeffer, owner of Schaeffer bmw.
apparently Schaeffer BMW is a real place...ha.
I already have mine. I bought a blonde wig, a red parka, and a stuffed toy cat. I'll just walk around laughing and tossing the cat at people.

I'm going to build a cubicle costume and walk around in it and pretend I'm an investment banker!
i'm thinking hot-shot 80s banker the morning after a wild party: black blazer with no shirt underneath, boxers no pants, business socks no shoes, white powder under nose, flask in jacket pocket, 80s style wig, cigar, couple blonde honeys under my arms, any other accessories I could add to this?

stole this from another site.....but love it.... wearing my suit with a name-tag that reads "1%" ...Fuck you OWS
Thinking about wearing a suit with the Wall St. sign on my head or maybe as a name tag.
"Hey babe.. wanna occupy Wall St.?"
Sooo.....back office then?
At a party tonight one lady was wearing tie-dye shirt, some sort of burlap skirt, birkenstocks, and 2 signs: "we are the 99%" and "occupy wallstreet" .
Nothing special until you consider that it was a charity benefit with a fairly high admission cost, so nobody even remotely in the 99%. lol
There was also a dude in a real tron costume, turned out he is some exec at Disney
Halloween Costume Ideas (Originally Posted: 10/25/2012)
Look, I know you guys are all prepared to go dressed at Patrick Bateman, but I'm sure some of you guys out there have some creative costume ideas for this weekend. No Soros or Blankfein suggestions either please. Let's hear it monkeys, what are you guys going as this weekend? Apparently, people really prepare their Halloween costumes. I started brainstorming this morning after a few friends asked me what my costume plans were and were absolutely bewildered when my answer was "uhh". I'll admit, I always went for cop-out costumes, like wearing a Bill Clinton mask and then just suiting up because, well, it required very little effort.
On the flip-side though, I think it'd be really cool to have some intricate or ornate Halloween costume that everyone thought was totally awesome. I can't think of it right now, but maybe you guys can help me.
Here are a few good ideas I've come up with:
1. The Most Interesting Man In the World Classic, and apparently not frequently done for Halloween. TMIMITW (gasp) has become an internet icon and celebrity, and if I'm drinking cheap-ish beer, you best believe that Dos Equis is at the top of my list. He has inside jokes with complete strangers...can it get any better?
Pros: inexpensive, obviously awesome, trendy Cons: requires suit (overdone), finding a wig/beard combo in old man grey isn't easy
2. Peggy From Discover Commercials For those of you who don't know Peggy. This dude is hilarious, and as a proud Discover user, it can't hurt to support what's in my wallet (see what I did there?)
Pros: funny, follows trend of using commercial personalities Cons: almost too vague, where the hell does one get a sweater like that?
3. "Holy S" Wear all brown and affix a halo above your head. It looks ridiculous, and I got the idea from a friend who did this a few years ago, but apparently everyone thought it was really funny when he explained what his costume was. This might be the winner for me, because once again, I like low-effort/high-reward costumes. What's a better ice breaker than explaining that your costume is, quite literally, holy s?
Pros: clever, cheap, not flashy Cons: people might not get it, not flashy (it's good and bad, okay?)
What do you guys think I should go as? TMIMITW? Holy S***? Peggy? What are you guys going as? Any really great ideas out there? I don't think mine are particularly good, but then again, I was never blessed with the creative part of the brain.
Discuss.
hmm this whole part reminded me of nicki minaj
If I were in Chicago, I would dress up as a ghost and a sign "I'm voting for Rahm!"
haha
i know there's a lot of high schoolers on here, so I'm gonna suggest justin & selena (if u have a date)
older couples should try Kim K and Kanye
che guevara w/ beret/wig (http://www.amazon.com/Che-Beret-Faux-Hair-Adult/dp/B003JA6714/ref=sr_1_…), beard, military shirt, cigar, and spouting lots of marxist rhetoric, "viva proletarian internationalism and world revolution!"
Wish you could get these puppies overnighted, but I think from third-party sellers that's pretty unlikely. The Che idea would be badass.
Decent costume would be a farm animal. Such as a cow or pig. Mooo. Oink oink. Also decent would be going as a vegetable or a fruit. Like a giant banana.
haha #3 is good.
Hotdog
That could work. Also a slice of pizza, a taco, a double cheeseburger, or a slice of bread.
For women ... A binder
I am jelly. I have an interview the next morning at 8:00 AM The plan was to be Hilary Clinton a la "Hilary Clinton Texting"
I'm gonna go as a drunk that trys to sleep with women he met that night.
I'm sure some douche will put on a hoodie and call himself Mark Zuckerberg.
But if you don't know anybody there, you can dress up as an old man and talk to an empty chair.
Shower Sandusky! Just wear a shower cap, Penn State bathrobe, and walk around trying to tickle everybody all night!
Went as Cletus the Fox football robot last year. Costume took three weeks to make but gave me something to do during the week besides TV!
did somebody say gangnam style, big bird, kony 2012, and binders full of women..
