OT: Value Village Appreciation Thread

[Gumballthechewy]

Pfft! Screw Value Village! I'm throwing on my hockey gear and getting a friend to make up my face so it looks like I lost a fight then spray me down with tons of fake blood.

I voted zombie hot dog though, just because.

 

[Seatoo]

Sexy Ben Franklin or bust

So... you celebrate Halloween and Christmas concurrently at your house?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I was with you until I saw the Christmas tree avelanch... o.o

I meant to vote a duck thats also a ref but accidently clicked the Kelly Sutherland one

Yeah well, I have a 70's style goalie mask I sprayed with blood and an old chainsaw from work but the bar won't let me in with that costume, I tried last year.

I had to settle for scaring the crap outta trick-or-treaters instead.

Still close. It's a dodo dressed as a ref

 

[tc 23]

Hot dog, you say?

 

[Kirk Mclean]

Zombie hot dog AINEC.

Surprisingly, i didn't see any of these costumes when i was there...

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

I ****ing hate that song...

[Royal Canuck]

A duck that's also a ref.

Look at the moves on that bad boy.

When they repeatedly play this commercial back to back it gives me flashbacks to the east side Mario commercials hell that was the playoffs three or four years ago.

That's my Vietnam.

slightly off topic, but 3/4 of my clothes come from VV in Bellingham. Great store.

Couldn't find what I needed today - going to a Rocky Horror show next friday night - going as a conventioneer.

Went once at the old movie house in Kits for the midnight showing of Rocky Horror - circa 1978. 12-1300 people lined up for 300 tickets. Got in. Half of the crowd dressed. Most were drunk or stoned. It was, to quote sheldon, a hoot and a half.

My wife is Filipino. As soon as it hits the Ber's (months ending in ber) it's christmas time for them. Since those pictures were taken, i've convinced her to wait until after Halloween, but yeah, it was up already back then.

I still remember one of the long time HF Canucks posters saying this when those ads were in peak rotation:

I want to play with that family's blood.

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a post on this site. Not that I agreed, but I really, really hated those ads. Almost as much as the Toyota Corolla ads Sportsnet won't stop playing 3x per period.

 

[TruKnyte]

Rather be sexy Ben Franklin

I nearly laughed out loud in my class with that quote.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

this is quite possibly the worst thread to have existed on HF, ever

WOAT....or ....GOAT?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I assume this now officially an embrace the hate thread....

shhhhhhhhhhhh

At least that one was nearly meme-worthy. This is just a travesty.

 

[PG Canuck]

It's a pretty clever commercial, just incredibly overplayed. Get's stuck in everyone's heads though.

As for the poll, a duck that's also a ref. Awesome costume.

 

[StIllmatic]

Couldn't find the steam punk pickle, I was really disappointment so I just put together a greek god outfit.
