you really can google anything.

It is true. You really can google anything! For instance, if you google "How to be captain hook" not only will you find youtube videos, but you will find a page on ehow that gives you 7 steps for being captain hook. Don't ask me why I googled this....it is irelevant. Below is an excerpt from the page as well as all 7 steps....


You can put together a Captain Hook costume relatively easily, but you'll also have to master his attitude.

Step 1- Buy a white, fluffy shirt like the one that Jerry wore in the infamous Seinfeld episode. If you can't find one, a simple white button-up shirt will work for your costume.

Step 2- Wear some tights. It doesn't matter what color. Black is the most fearsome color, but tights aren't really the most fearsome piece of clothing, so whatever color you can find will be fine.

Step 3- Find an old-fashioned red coat with gold or brass buttons. Try looking in a thrift store. If you can't find red, another color will do, but the coat should be long, reaching to at least your thighs.

Step 4- Assemble your weaponry. You'll need a sword-preferably a fake one for safety's sake- and more importantly, you'll need a hook for your hand. Captain Hook wore his hook on his right hand, but if you're right-handed, you may want to switch it to your left.

Step 5- Get a wig. It should be long, black and a bit curly. Also, grow a thin mustache. If you don't have time to grow one (or you're a woman), draw one on with black face paint.

Step 6- Place a pirate hat on top of your bewigged head to finish your costume. To make it more authentic, stick a large feather in the hat.

Step 7- Swagger. Captain hook was a cocky pirate, so you'll need attitude.

Yep that is right....Step 7 says, "Swagger," Now I like the Peter Pan/Captain hook movies and there are many words that I could use to describe Captain Hook......not sure that "swagger" would ever be one of them...or that if you were the type of person who was looking this information up (how to make a Captain hook costume) that you would really know what swagger was anyway.

This article only got 2 1/2 out of 5 stars....not enough people found it helpful...maybe there are better step-by-step instructions out there for this topic?....maybe.

There is also a "Difficulty" rating on the page....this one is rated "easy." This is there to lower your self-esteem when you find these steps difficult.

Thank you google, for providing us with an endless wealth of useless knowledge at our fingertips.
