Always quote Craiglist messages for posterity.
You never know how long they will last!


So this might seem strange and really offensive to some but hopefully someone will reply. I have always loved the scene in Empire Strikes Back where Chewbacca has to carry around a half reconstructed C3PO in a backpack because he hasn't reattached his lower body yet. For Halloween I would love to dress up like this. I am big enough and strong enough to both pull off the Chewbacca look and to carry around a lot of weight for the night. So basically I am looking for a double amputee (someone missing both legs - preferably at the hip) to accompany me as C3PO for the evening. We should meet ahead of time so that we can work out the backpack/harness system. There are a few parties that I want to hit and I think we will be the hit of any event we attend. Anyone up for this?

Normally I would say good luck finding somebody who actually wants to be stared at, pointed at, and laughed at by drunks all night long, and is also disarticulated at both hips (that's fairly rare).

But it's New York, he might find a dozen candidates.

If I saw someone dressed like that I don't know if I would be able to hold it together.

Awesome idea. It is way off the wall. I would like to hear if he actually gets someone to reply.

Damn...a double amputee. I know a guy who's a quad. No arms or legs.


Rather than make him languish in bed and not be part of the family activities, they hang him on the wall...and they call him Art...:p
