How to make a chicken costume
Philos volunteered to wear a chicken costume to iBlog4... if I can get one. Who knew that chicken costumes are so hard to find in this city? After weeks of fruitless search, I gave up and decided to make my own.
I haven't done any arts and crafts crap (say that quickly 10 times) in over 10 years, but I felt that I'm smart enough to pull it off. How hard can it be, right? A child could do it. Should be as easy as 1, 2, 3....
Step 1: acquire tools and materials
I did that over the weekend. Here's what I got.
- 3 sheets of white cartolina (P10.75 each)
- 1 sheet of red cartolina (P7.00; don't ask me why it's cheaper than the white ones, because I don't know)
- a pair of scissors (P22.50)
- a roll of double-sided tape, which smells strangely intoxicating (P21.75)
- a permanent marker, which also smells strangely intoxicating (P33.75)
- a "mathematical set" (P42.00). I don't know why I bought the whole set--I only needed a compass. I guess getting a whole box of extra stuff for an additional 20 pesos sounded like a good deal at the time. So now, I have a protractor, a couple of triangles, a ruler, and some other random objects, all of them in bright colors and utterly useless. Yay! So stupid.
- an old pencil from my high school days (well, at least that one is free)
So I spent a total of P159.25, which is most likely much cheaper than renting a costume.
Step 2: make costume
Being a procrastinator, I of course didn't start this task until less than 12 hours before iBlog. But I wasn't worried, because I had a plan.
Ha, piece of cake. Should be done in 20 minutes, right? Too bad I couldn't focus my sleepy brain enough to follow my own plan. I ended up making quite a few mistakes, and the 20 minutes cakewalk turned into three and a half hours of damage control. Damn.
Step 3: do last-minute panic adjustments
That's for later. I need to go sleep now if I want to have any chance of waking up before noon. The costume is more or less done, but it still doesn't have eye holes--I don't know where to put them because I forgot to measure Philos's head. Tsk. I'm not even sure it would fit him.
Oh well, we'll see what happens.
Did you actually draw those
Did you actually draw those illustrations (i.e., a chicken who can draw how-to-make-a-chicken-costume-step-by-step-ooh-baby-gonnna-get-to-you-girl-really-want-you-in-my-world)? Hmmm interesting..
(okayy that was a lame excuse of a comment to kill off my New Kids On The Block LSS) XD
Yup, I drew those
Took almost as long as the actual costume making.
Oh maybe that's why
Philos is not yet here at Malcolm. That chicken costume must be awesome!
www.AWBHoldings.com
He's here now
The chicken still doesn't have eyes. Will have to finish it during the lunch break :-(
OMG
This is going to be so funny!!! I got lost in one of your diagrams but I guess I know what you're trying to do. I think I'll just skip that step.
Remember to take pictures!!! Lots of them!
Oh, there will be pictures...
lots of them.
I got lost
with the 4th picture
wait i think i got it
you taped the part you cut off from the top. why?
Yup
That part becomes some kind of makeshift strap that you can wear around your head.
Ahhhhh
yeah... how environmentally friendly of you :p
did the tape hold the costume together? that must be some pretty strong tape you got.
Oh yes, very strong
I got as high as a kite the other night from sniffing it.
Haha!
The Marker Pen is more addictive....OoooOOoppss! haha! :))
Spoken
like a true addict.
Yes.....
...to be sure! I like the smell of gasoline too.....luckily it's not "rugby"...haha!

Don't judge me, I'm not a book.

Woooopss....
....SORRY. this is a mistake. :D
I got lost
period~ :P So many instructions~~ Hehehehe
Where are the pictures?
The pictures are finally up
Go see.
Why weren't you at iBlog? :-P
Hey KM
You should've gone to IBlog4 or at least the after party! It was fun!
:D
I was attending my recognition rites~~ :P
Bad timing :-(
Oh well. Congratulations.
Lots and lots of them
As it turned out! hehe... Really had fun at I-Blog 4 and 88DB.com's after party. I hope we hear from Arsenal soon.
Yeah, ArsenaL better
get off his lazy butt quick. He has all the pictures.
any hot chicks
at the after party?
I knew you'd ask that
The pictures are coming. Patience!
Hehe... When the pictures come out
I bet you'd wish you were there :P
Haha
I think everyone knew he would ask that.
And it makes me wonder. After so many years of asking, he's still asking?
He's still asking
because he never gets answers? :-D
Congrats on winning the best
Congrats on winning the best costume! :D
Thanks
for clapping :-D
You guys won the best costume?
Omedetou!
But was it expected? :P I mean, who would wear a chicken mask right?
Yup, Philos won
He got a PSP!
You could have won it
if you offered to wear the costume :P
How much is a PSP?
No idea,
but probably not enough to convince me to wear that very uncomfortable costume :-D
Hey!
Thanks! I hope you were able to have your picture taken with us. :)
Chicken! Chicken! Chicken!
Congrats on winning Best Costume last night!
I thank you
on behalf of Philos, who is probably playing with his new PSP and ignoring comments. Lazy chicken.
Oh maann....I would've....
..canceled my appointment(with my bed) that day if I knew there was a PSP at stake! :))
======
Don't judge me, I'm not a book.
======
And
how would you plan to beat the chicken costume? :-P
Oh my.....
....this is a tough question.....I'd put on a "Daster-Mayaman"(Daster for the Rich), put a large mole on the left cheek of the chicken....and say "Kokorokkok! Hello Garci! Gising na!" everytime someone pushes the mole (button). :))
======
Don't judge me, I'm not a book.

Hahaha
Yes, please do that. But I don't think there will be any prizes for costumes next year.
Thanks doc
Wouldn't happen without the "Chicken" chant hehe... and JC's artistry of course! :p
congrats !

My new blog (even I don't know why I need it)
Yeah :-P
That's Taglish. Go look it up on Wikipedia.
No
We just like to confuse the foreigners. :p
Thanks!
Too bad we weren't able to take pictures with you with your full DJ regalia... or did we? I don't really know what's going on whenever I'm in that mask.
As promised, my first
As promised, my first comment here! And I love the costume. Awesomest of the night I must say!
Thanks
Yes, chickens are the awesomest. Yay!
Hey Happy birthday! Many more comments to come!
You finding the chicken costume awesome just prove you can't be too old. Hmm... of course there is the other alternative, the "R" word. I'm not judging :p
The "R" word?
This is the Chicken Mafia. You can say "retard" :-P
Errr... Didn't you tell me
Not to insult our readers?
You're the one who said "the 'R' word,"
which insults our readers' intelligence :-P
Pfft..
Pfft.. that's all I can say. =P
I never understood that phrase
By saying "that's all I can say," aren't you proving that that's not all you can say? Now I've confused myself.
Good thing I wasnt hungry
Good thing I wasnt hungry last night or I wouldve ran after the d00d in tha chickon costume. CHICKONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Philos, make conclusions
If you want get laid, wear that chicken costume to the party. Might save you from transvestites too :-P
_____
My new blog (even I don't know why I need it)
I don't know about saving him from transvestites
Wait for the next blog entry for an explanation.
Hmm...
So who ran off with the wings? :p
But... but...
you don't have to be hungry to have a picture taken with a chicken :-(
i watched
funny sexy's palawan trip, damn, the underground river was good. although initially i was thinking like "underground river?" its not dat it doesn't make sense, it just dint make awful lot of sense for ur average, shovel wielding apes.... ahem.. ahem...
but i like the jokes.. "....there's something creepy about vietnamese village..." ".....its a vietnamese village but there is no vietnamese there..." ahahahaha, dats funny... but it is a little bit weird, cuz the whole village just disappeared. conspiracy i say, or its a really tight community, cuz its not just 1 person left, the whole fucking village left ALL TOGETHER. tell me dat's not a conspiracy.
and also, there's the sentimental and thought provoking section where she says, "i wonder why a country so beautiful is so poor, well, look at our government....case and point..and becuz american bastards keep dumping crap food that their farmers couldn't sell to us which causes our agriculture industry not be able to get off the ground becuz they dump their food for practically nothing, they do it to all the country they send aid to... sneaky mother fuckers....
oh and foreigner doesn't just keep coming back here for the scenery, they come here to exploit the ppl, the culture and everything. i mean i welcome the tourists but not exploiters.. s all i'm saying.
You're high again?
And why are you commenting about FunnySexy's video here? Go over to her site and leave a comment there. Don't be shy.
Errr...
You know that this is the chickenmafia right? Why don't you go over there and paste your comment on that particular vlog?
I'm not even
going to read this.
Good decision
:-D
Y not read it?
oh com'on it'll be fun!
Right
Headaches are fun.
So he did it
deliberately.
At least that's
What he wants you to believe.
yey
try ko yan minsan :)
Yes, do that
Just remember that we can't be held liable for any resulting death or injury.
Or
Lost of face... Come on JC, we've been over this a hundred times, we've got to protect ourselves here.
On the cartolina mystery...
...the white cartolina you bought is most likely a thicker model,a glossy one to be exact. ;)...or the saleslady/clerk tricked you! :)) Don't fret Joyful, you'll be the only person at your age who now owns a rainbow-colored mathematical set!...from Red to Violet. :D Too bad I wasn't able to attend the event. :( and saw Philos' shining moment. :)
======
Don't judge me, I'm not a book.
======
Hmm
Now what should I do with my colorful mathematical set? Draw rainbows? Yay.
Let's see....
....protractor for the rainbow's half circle curved lines....triangles for the mountains....drawing compass for the sun and a ruler for the sun's rays. perfect! :))
======
Don't judge me, I'm not a book.
======
Haha
"Don't judge me, I'm not a book."
I like that :P
I didn't recognize you until I saw your avatar hehe.
Hello....
....neko-chan. Thanks...I got it from the 1979 Miss International. She is known for her funny and very "philosophical" quotes...here's another one..."Why should I have a calling card? I’m not a call girl!" :))
I plan to change the avatar since I have read that Joyful wants everyone to have "chicken-inspired" avatars...with weapons! :D
======
Don't judge me, I'm not a book.
======
Hah
anime-zed chicken avatar huh?
Off topic...
...I got a new avatar! Is this legal? :D
======
Don't judge me, I'm not a book.
======
Of course it's legal
But we hate you now because your avatar is cooler than ours :-P
Thanks! Now each time I see your avatar
I will be reminded of the entire summer I wasted as kid watching Goku run the Snake Road without anything substantial ever happening to progress the story.
NICE IDEA^^
It took me about 20 minutes just to internalize the drawings, but nice idea tho, I'll copy the wings. My kid needs the whole body chicken suit. He needs to be a complete chicken :P
Thanks again for the ideas!!!Mabuhay!
Warning though...
end result doesn't really look like a chicken :-P
Yeah...
Consider taking a look at this first.
Of course, he might just win a PSP.
