MMOC Blog #8 - Halloween costume Ideas

"Option #1:  Zorro 
Superman?  Batman?  Give me a break.  Zorro has legitimate power and actually existed in the mid 1800’s.
Option #2:  Ray Finkle
I have to admit my inability to grow a solid mustache could pose a problem here. "

My Halloween costumes have been lacking the past few years.  I’m going to change that this year.  Yes, it’s not even Easter yet.  But I have two solid ideas already, and I don’t want anyone stealing them.  I’m calling them both right now.
 
Option #1:  Zorro
 
Easily my favorite super hero.  He’s real.  Superman?  Batman?  Give me a break.  Zorro has legitimate power and actually existed in the mid 1800’s.  Plus I wore a Zorro costume (knitted by my Grandma Marge, she was awesome) when I was a five-year-old at Wee World Pre-School in Bradford.  
 
I remember wearing the Zorro costume down to our local park a few days later and seeing kids run away from me.  I happily rode the merry-go-round alone and said to myself “Screw those bastards.  I have a cape."
Then I started drawing Z’s on our living room walls.  That wasn't a great idea.  T.S. and Ja Ruth (my parents, they’re more like grandparents now and are probably expecting more out of me) didn’t like that all too much.  But hell, I was Zorro.  T.S. and I used to watch a Zorro t.v. show and it was great.  He got all the women (Zorro, not T.S.).  I’m kind of like Zorro minus the Spanish-speaking and sword fights.  He was probably a better musician than me too.
 
Option #2:  Ray Finkle
 
I have to admit my inability to grow a solid mustache could pose a problem here.  But Ace Ventura was an awesome movie, and the “Finkel and Einhorn” scene is one of my favorites ever.  This would only require a Ray Finkle Dolphins Jersey (easy to accomplish), along with perhaps a football with “Die Dan” and “Laces Out” written on it.  Maybe some football pants and sneakers if I’m feeling it.  May need a wig too, assuming I don’t have long flowing purple hair by this time.
 
And as much as I wouldn’t like wearing a Fins jersey as a suffering Bills fan, I do appreciate Marino and admire my Fins friends’ commitment.  It’s been rough being in the Pats’ division for the past 15+ years.  Plus it was really the Bills who missed the kick at the end of a Super Bowl.  Wait, that didn’t really happen.  They won that game.  Same with the Music City Miracle…
 
If you have a favorite between Zorro and Ray Finkle, let me know!

If I go with the Zorro costume the horse will be a last minute decision.  I'll probably bring one.

At least I can get a head start on the mustache.
