Today’s blogging prompt was ‘most creative costume I’ve worn’, which…erm, should be easy. I’ve only ever gone to two Halloween parties. In one (2019) I dressed as Walter from The Big Lebowski. Tres interesting, since I had an excuse to quote The Big Lebowski all night. (“You want a toe? There are ways, man, you don’t even want to know. Believe me. I can get you a toe by three o’clock, with nail polish.”) Last year, I dressed as a monk. The Walter costume was both less ornate but more involved in creating: I had to get a bandanna, the shades, and a vest. (Oddly enough, I already had dog-tags: when visiting the USS Kidd one of the souveniers was customized tags.) My godsister who throws Halloween parties has moved to another city, though, so I don’t think I’ll be going to one this year. If I am, I’ll put one of my Bass Pro caps and a longneck (ice cold) beer and announce that I’m Luke Combs. (Or, reprise the monk but drop the cross and pretend I’m a Sith lord.)

Excellent costumes!
Good ideas for costumes there!

Monk is a more common choice than I would have given it credit for! And I love the idea of converting it to a Sith Lord. I could borrow a lightsaber from Secondborn…
Good choices.
Does your workplace allow for costumes? I bet the kids would get a kick out of seeing a Sith lord at the library 😉
Not in the past, but we have a new hire who the director likes who is pushing for it. We shall see..
Whenever someone comes upstairs and says “I’m just looking for someone”, I always want to say “Looking? Found someone you have, I would say! Mmhmmhhhmmmhhmm!” I’ll wait until someone with a Star Wars shirt comes up and says it, though.
🤣 love it
