Title: Just in case you wanted to be Ole Miss Admiral Ackbar for Halloween...
Post by: AUChizad on October 08, 2010, 02:29:06 PM
Every single Admiral Ackbar mask on the entire internet is sold out.

I know this, because, since I will be in Oxford for Halloween, I had decided to do this. I already bought the red cowboy hat.

I tried literally 30-40 vendors through Google Shopping. I thought I had a hit three times, because the site didn't indicate they were sold out. I was able to order, put it on my credit card, and get confirmation that my order had been placed.

The first place sent me an email regretting to inform me that the item was out of stock. I took the proactive approach on the next two and called them after my order was placed. Both found out, while on the phone with me, that they were also out of stock.

WTF is going on. I know I'm not THAT unoriginal.

Either A) This is going to make going as the Joker two years ago look original, or B) Some rich asshole bought up every single Ackbar mask on the internet. I'm thinking they had to have produced like 10,000 plus of these. Maybe the Ole Miss fans are planning on trying to get the whole crowd to wear them?

Something is definitely fishy.

And I have to come up with a new Halloween idea.

Something is up, I am sure of it.

I actually understated how many sites I tried. More like 50+.

There is NO WAY that that many sites are completely cleaned out unless something is up.

I agree, those selections are shitt'ay. I can't even believe that these are the finalist. If I was Ole Miss, I would just do without.

Something tells me the entire Ole Miss student section will be clad in AA masks on the 30th.

The bear is best looking of the three.  Hotty Toddy makes the most sense since this is actually a part of their culture, I just think the costume sucks!

They're the Ole Miss Rebels, yet their mascot is a bear? Or a shark? Or some featureless...thing...

And we get shit for being the Tigers, having a Tiger Mascot, but ALSO having the War Eagle and saying War Eagle.

If they have to move away from the Civil War Rebel thing, I'd say go with a leather jacket, James-Dean esque "Rebel", although, actually that'd be kinda gay too.

Here you go.

It comes with a luxury box pass to the OM game.

They all do.
