Less than a week until Halloween, and I have not procured all the elements of my proposed costume. I'm not gonna say what it is, because I want it to be a surprise at the party I'll be attending Sunday. Plus, if I'm not able to pull this particular costume idea off in time (an increasingly distinct possibility), I want to save it for next year.

Thankfully, I've got plenty of back-up costumes I can go with if time runs out on my primary idea. Being a theater guy and a sci-fi/fantasy/comic book geek, I've got several costume possibilities hanging in my closet. Off the top of my head, I've got:

• Robin Hood


• drunk Clark Kent


• monk/Friar Tuck


• 1970s Century 21 real estate agent


• Wash from Firefly/Serenity


• Mal from Firefly/Serenity


• Green Lantern


• one of Santa's elves


• storybook prince


• space alien pimp

Even better, probably a third of the ideas listed above are things I've never actually used as costumes before. Yes, I have everything necessary to look like a pimp from Proxima Centauri or a Realtor from the Me decade just hanging around because I bought them on spec, many years ago in some cases.

I'd tell you I'm ashamed of this fact, but I'd be lying.
