Adjust your monitor, Jones. The hair matched the rest of the costume.

If that guy was really good, he’d also have a big round globe thingie that he’d have to balance on and maneuver to get around on.

Adam, one year we had a lawyer come to our ward Halloween Party dressed in his suit with legal documents attached all over. He was a “lawsuit”.
I love the Moroni Angel costume. But black hair? Shouldn’t the hair be gold too?

The coolest costume I ever saw was while I was on my mission. A teacher in the ward (who ended up being probably the coolest kid I met on my mission) went to school dressed as a missionary with his dad’s stake-missionary nametag, only he put tape over his last name, and put my last name over it instead. He was me. Narcissistic, but cool.

Ironically, in that same area, the Bishop has been in the Salt Lake papers several times for travelling from Oregon to Utah to trick or treat with his grandkids in different immaculate costumes. However, the three years prior, he had gone as The wicked queen in snow white, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and one other female Disney character. He said, “The crowds like me more when I’m dressed as a woman.” Interesting.

#13- that is so grea, very clever!! Maybe I could do the opposite next year, ie put a tag that says “to men, from God.”

You’ll have to visualize this. A friend told me he saw someone (in a single’s ward?) who had gotten a big refrigerator box, cut holes for his arms and legs and head, then he wrapped it up and put a big bow on it, with a giant card on the side of the giant man-present that read: “To: Women — From: God.”

Brilliant.

When I was on my mission, I put a pillow under my suit jacket and said it was my yearmark. It took people a couple of seconds to get the joke, but it still ranks as one of my favorite costumes – if mostly because it was the easiest costume ever made.
