Costumes that went to eleven

WARNING: Tap geekitude ahead

This is a little overdue, and perhaps slightly out of seasonal fashion, but I feel it would be a disservice not to post the following pictures.

A week ago Saturday my dear roommates and I took Oakville by storm for Hallowe’en. Our ambitious costume inspiration? The inimitable (or so we THOUGHT) Spinal Tap.

While certain West-coast-based future lawyers may find fault with some of the more minute details of the costumes, I feel we captured the essence of Britain’s loudest rock group quite nicely.


Here eats David St Hubbins, and why not?


Despite being a professional, and therefore unwilling to let it affect his performance, Nigel Tufnel is very upset about the size of the cheese in relation to the bread.


Derek Smalls envies his own carnivorous ways.



Emulating the legendary Big Bottom performance. Note our spectacular packages: they're like armadillos in our trousers.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go work on Saucy Jack.
