Ahh
Halloween. Either you love it or you hate it
or you
feel somewhat indifferent about it. Or something.
Hey!
How would you like a chance to own Harlan
Felcher's 2004 Halloween costume!?
First,
let us give you a little bit of background information of
how you can be the proud owner of what , much like the Hope
Diamond or the Shroud of Turin, is sure to become a priceless
piece of history.
You
see. Physically, Harlan is a grown man. Just ask any of
our female interns and they'll tell you with absolute certainty
that he is fully developed.
He's
still a kid at heart though. And by, "kid at heart"
I mean that, for whatever reason, and I'm sure there are
many, his emotional development literally stopped somewhere
at about age thirteen.
He's
a real pain in the ass, is what I'm trying to say.
Like
any 33-year-old man with the mind and compulsions of a pubescent
teenager, he loves to go trick or treating on Halloween.
He'd
actually like it if we allowed him to trick or treat pretty
much any day of the year and I don't think he'd be embarrassed
one bit to dress up in whatever ridiculous costume he wanted
in the middle of July.
We
try and contain this all year but on Halloween, Harlan gets
to dress up and go out there with the rest of the children
and enjoy this time-honored tradition.
In
years past, Harlan has enjoyed dressing in some pretty strange
outfits.
One
year he went as a mailbox. Another year, a package of paper
towels and five years ago, in October 1999, when Fugly.com
was in it's early stages, he insisted that he be allowed
to dress up like a pile of rocks.
It
had something to do with the Blair Witch Project being so
popular at the time or something. I don't really know to
tell you the truth but he
really pulled it off.
Last
year, Harlan was saddened by the death of one of his favorite
actors, the great Christopher Reeve.
Christopher
reeve died on October 10 and Harlan was so affected by this
that he just couldn't bring himself to wear the costume
be bought just days earlier.
Let's
just say that Harlan is a man with many challenges in life.
Since Harlan likes to ride around in his electric wheelchair
(for no other reason than that it makes a "funny whirring
noise" when he "goes really fast"), we didn't
think that it was such a hot idea to dress him up like Superman
and let him do that. Especially three weeks after the death
of such a beloved actor turned activist.
I
think people might have gotten the wrong idea.
So
this Superman suit has been hanging in the closet here for
over a year now. It has never been worn and it's in perfectly
good shape.
We
wanted to dress Harlan in it and take some pictures of him
eating his Halloween candy but he ate the entire bag about
20 minutes after coming home last night and, with so much
sugar coursing through his system, he went completely berserk
and ran screaming into the woods.
He's
not back yet.
So
here it is, Harlan's Superman Suit from Halloween 2004 and
it can be yours if you're the lucky Fugly surfer!
