iPod for Halloween

[bennetsaysargh]

OK, here's the deal. I am not 100% sure i'll actually go along with this, but i might be an iPod for halloween. if i am, i would make my costume out of cardboard and cut out a hole in the screen for my face. if i be an iPod for halloween, then i will most likely go to the apple store opening in Marlton NJ dressed in my costume. maybe maybe not. im not sure, but all of my friends think it's a great idea:p

My friends are cupboard mac lovers, one has an ipod, and they all love that. Secretly they all sneak down and play with the new G5's when they think nobody will see, but really they like them.

Sounds like a cool costume, you'll have to put a rapping of foil or something reflective on your back.

thansk wes. i knew something would be missing. i need a lot of tin foil now :)

haha thats cool.

I was my iMac Box for halloween once... :p

Yes the box.

BTW, if there is no article, this is community disc.

the tinfoil is nessacery on the back. Make the buttons on your iPod costume red. So they can be seen better at night.

lol. i would be the iPod box, but it's too small:p

thanks. i guess i'll need the backlit screen too.

give me as many suggestions as you want so it can be the best it can:)

I am not sure I believe it but there are two threads that have the same idea. I think it is kind of a cool idea but come on two people coming up with it.

well i had the post first:)
my idea first! haha! lol :p im just kidding around.

im getting my friend julia to help me with it. im going to try and make everything as proportional as possible, and try and keep the dimensions to scale as much as possible.

anyone got any more ways i can improve it? so far i've got
-shiny back (tin foil)
-battery life painted onto the screen
-backlit screen and buttons to see better (plus i don't have to look as hard for paint)
-headphone jack/remote/hold switch

thanks for your help.

That reminds me of the Fox Trot cartoon years ago where Jason dressed up for Halloween as an iMac and went around saying, "WoOOOoo...I have no floppy drive...wooOOOooOW...I have no floppy drive" -- everyone ran in fear.
