Join My Conga Line

I'm trying to decide what to be for Halloween at school on Friday. Besides the usual suspects (vampire, ghost, nerd, grim reaper, Frankenstein, prisoner) I haven't come up with much. Well, I've come up with a few, but I'm not sure I can pull them off while doing them justice:
  • Sherlock Holmes (literary character, can't go wrong, need THE HAT and pipe)
  • Greaser (have the switch comb and Chuck Taylors, but no jean jacket)
  • Chef (have the hat and pants, but no smock; chefs are lame anyway, now anyone who watches Food Network thinks they can cook. wrong.)
  • a book (can't do it, not going to hit my word count goal)
  • Pseudonym (no one would get it)
  • Junkyard Owner (what do I wear? overalls and a trucker hat? a bike chain around my neck?)
  • JK Rowling (I don't have enough fake money to make spill out of my pockets; and wigs are itchy)
  • The Situation (the last time I shaved lines in my eyebrows I was 14. Yes, I actually did it, and I'm not doing it again)
  • Tiger Woods (I'd need a heram the length of a conga line; no appropriate link found)
Any other ideas out there?

  1. One year I was King Azaz from THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH. I convinced my math/science teaching partner to be the Mathemagician.

  3. I'd say be Tiger Woods and I'd join the conga, but there's not enough time for implants before Friday. Sooo...my vote is for Sherlock. Then you'd have the hat.

  4. I think you should go as Justin Bieber.

  6. You know, there's one costume I've always really wanted to do that I've never heard anybody else ever mention before. But... I can't share it here because it's not appropriate. And not in a dirty way either, not at all. In fact, this costume idea has no sexual innuendo whatsoever. It's wrong on a whole different level. Someday I'll make it happen...

    Anyway, good luck.

    Also, I really like Kelly's idea.

  7. You should go as Mr. Schuster from Glee, because you're a teacher and you look like him. Just kidding, you don't.

  8. Ha. My students say the same thing. One girl made a poster that said Mr. Wymer's Twin and it had a picture of Mr. What's-his-face from Glee.
