I dunno who all is actually putting on a costume to go out or stay in and hand out candy or whatever, but what’re your ideas? Bonus points for wordplay, visual puns, and topical references

    I’m going to my work thing as “guy who sat next to you on the bus.” Sliders, fluffy sweats, t-shirt that’s a little too small, crooked bathrobe, tie, camo hat with a little tinfoil peeking out. Considering some conspiracy nut appropriate things to carry around in a Target bag, but my guy is a “Moon landing? You believe in the moon?” type of nut. I’m going to win all the prizes unless the government tries to stop me. Again. The same way the Reverend Moon shot JFK from the grassy knoll. They covered it up by saying the astronauts were doing a moon shot to muddy the waters. That’s why they made up the moon and the moon landing.

    If I don’t win, I’ll at least give them a lot to talk about.

      A costume that allows you to say the most annoying, unhinged things to your coworkers for the night seems very cathartic.

          I see. Thank you. They were just considered to be (backless) sandals in my area/generation, but having a separate name for them is definitely better.
