Ha ha! That’s great!
You mean you decided to forego the sheep farmer costume, Hal? 
Not dressing up until later tonight, but I’m dressing up as Lenne from FFX-2 (mainly because it’s slightly easier than Yuna). There’s a picture over in IMHO from a party I went to saturday night.
I’m boring, but in a couple of hours I’ll go out to our annual chili, brownie, and costume contest and see what the fun people are wearing.
Not in costume at the moment, but I will be when I go up to the office in a few hours, and was on Saturday night for a party. This year, I’m a molecule. Specifically, C[sub]2[/sub]H[sub]5[/sub]OH. It just wouldn’t have been a party without me.
I’m a cowgirl in formal dress: black jeans, maroon button-down shity, bolo tie and black cowboy hat. I had to have something I could actually sit at my desk and work in.
My husband manages a comic book store, so he’s wearing a luchadore (Mexican wrestler) mask with a skull on it and a Hawaiian shirt. He’s a luchadore on vacation.
One of the departments at my office dressed as the cast of Gilligan’s Island. It occurred to me then that I should’ve just worn beat-up clothes and not showered this morning and been one of the castaways from Lost. 
When I came into work, I got a yellow Post-It note, and wrote BOO! on it with magic marker, and stuck it to my shirt pocket. That’s my costume.
So far, everyone has laughed.
My cow-orkers are usually pretty wimpy when it comes to dressing up…for the last 3 years only 2 people, myself included, dressed up for Halloween…this year they bribed people by saying that if you dressed up, your name is entered in a draw to win a paid day off work. So a few more people got in the spirit this year.
One guy forgot and was racking his brain trying to come up with an idea…so he bought a roll of duct tape, wound it around himself and went as a “duct tape mummy”.
Saddam Hussein. I’m wearing a dark suit with no tie. Also I have a beard.

Howdy, pardners! I’m a sheriff, complete with authentic cowbay hat and boots, wrangler cowgirl shirt, fake guns on my hips, big belt buckle, silver star and spurs. I need me a posse, and I’m gonna deputize all y’all. We’re gonna have a kegger at the OK-corral. Yee-haw!
Mississippienne and I are doing Jessie and Tulip from the Preacher comic book series. My friend Jay is going with us as the Saint of Killers.

Don’t miss the tape removal, that will be even better.
Right now I am in my bathrobe, but tonight I will be a substitute teacher having a bad day. I will be wearing conservative clothes, the skirt is ripped with the slip hanging down a kick me sign on my back, messed up hair with a paper plane stuck in it. I have made up a pad of detention slips and I am not afraid to use them!
I’m Mothra Stewart. Blonde wig, wings, antennae and big black bug eyes. It seems to be going over well, though the eyes are giving me a bit of a headache.
I’m in standard college student grubbies right now (greasy hair, long-sleeved t-shirt, scrub pants, and flip-flops) because I am a grubby college student, but tonight I will be dressed as a sassy fifties reporter. Wool plaid pencil skirt, ivory blouse, vintage pumps, trenchcoat, and horrendous hat. I will also have a press pass and a small notebook. Here’s hopin’ I get the scoop.
I’m dressed as “Tony the Comcast Cable Guy” - Please do not throw things or threaten. 
My boyfriend (Tony) works for Comcast. He used to be a repair tech; he works inside now on digital voice support. However, he’s still got a lot of his tech stuff.
So I wore one of his Comcast t-shirts, his lighterweight Comcast jacket, jeans, workboots, tool belt (both of which I bought) and his Cincinnati Reds baseball cap. Since most of the people in the office know him, they got the joke. I was referred to as “Larry the Cable Guy” a few times, but other than that it went well.
We had a little contest but only 4 of us dressed up so they ended up giving all of us prizes. Go me!
Now that is sheer brilliance.
I went as a homocidal maniac…
they look just like everyone else
The Mothra Stewart costume, that is. :smack:
I have a set of naval aviator’s working greens all ready to go. (These are admiral’s rank; mine are lietuenant’s.)
The only thing is, this now outmoded uniform was only worn when on flying duty that didn’t require flight suits. So I need to find someplace I can rent a Grumman Albatross seaplane before 6pm tonight.
I came as an underpaid government drone - no costume required!
One of the bosses came as Dream Date, complete with white sport coat and pink carnation.
