Where's Whitey.....

I love Halloween---mainly because I'm a swine and love to eat candy. But, as an added bonus, this year is going to feature a plethora of crazy people dressed up like everyone's favorite Boston Mobster, Whitey Bulger! Now, this is a very simple costume as reported on the news, but it's apparently extremely popular. All it entails is an orange prison jumpsuit with the name "Whitey"on the back. The costume is available at IParty, and I'm loving the fact that the guy in the pic on the package looks like he's awaiting a chalk outline....just sayin'....Also, from the front, this dude isn't convincing me that he's Whitey at all...

Maybe I should think this is clever or funny, but I don't. I actually think if the following costume was sold with the name "Whitey" on the back, it would be FAR funnier, ironic, and appropriate:

Yup! That's right! I'm thinking a "Where's Waldo?" costume would be extremely funny if "Whitey" could be inscribed on the back. Seriously. Dude was on the lamb for how many years? And, like Waldo, who is always right under your nose in the pictures, Whitey was as well....actually, even Waldo was easier to find than him.....

I don't know why I'm blogging about this, but it just popped into my mind while watching the news story on it....and I'm kind of happy that I did, because while goggling images for "Where's Waldo Costumes", this picture came up.....and I can't even begin to imagine how it got pulled into my search....I don't have a clue as to what this is, but I DO know that I'm going to order it and have it shipped to Big Ran as an early birf'day present, just so he can wear it on Halloween.....

Don't Cross These Two

Dudes, I have to say, Whitey is looking pretty good for an 80 year old dude who has been on the run for years.  Also, let me say this for the record:  there's no way I screw with either of these people.  Everyone can feel bad for Catherine Greig, but look into her eyes.  That's one BAD BITCH.  You piss her off and there's no way she waits to tell Whitey.  She's putting a switch blade in your kidney all on her own.

Whitey Busted in Santa Monica

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (CBS/AP) — Boston mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger was captured near Los Angeles after spending the last 16 years on the run during an epic manhunt that served as a major embarrassment to the FBI and made the fugitive a global sensation as he constantly found a way to elude authorities.

The FBI finally caught the 81-year-old Bulger Wednesday at a residence in Santa Monica along with his longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig just days after the government launched a new publicity campaign to locate the fugitive mobster, said Steven Martinez, FBI’s assistant director in charge in Los Angeles.

The arrest was based on a tip from the campaign, he said.

However, television ads from the campaign did not run in the Los Angeles area, but they were seen in San Diego and San Francisco.

The FBI had been conducting a surveillance operation in the area where the arrest was made, said police Sgt. Rudy Flores, who gave no details of the arrest.

So, after 16 years, Whitey Bulger has finally been brought to justice along with his ride-or-die bitch, Catherine Greig.  I've lived in MA most of my life, and I feel as though Whitey has become this sympathetic hero over his time on the run.  It seems as though people started to believe the tails that he was the Robin Hood of Southie.  This dude killed at least 19 people, was responsible for all the drugs in Southie and diddled little girls, and other mobsters hated him because he ratted them out to the feds.  Have fun in a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.
