“TOP 10 HALLOWEEN COSTUME PICKS BY PROFS THIS YEAR!”

I know many of you have “pick Halloween costume” on your to-do list somewhere in the next 2 weeks. Since this blog is a service-provider to faculty, I thought you might like to know what costumes are flying off the shelves into professors little coffee/tea-stained hands. Then you can decide whether to

1. Pick the “hot” costume
2. Pick something totally different
3. Do business-as-usual with NO costume

Here are the Top 10 picks from the home office in Milledgeville, GA, at "Costumes for Profs" national chain, usually next door to Walmart, except where noted:

TOP 10

10. KNIGHT (Full suit of armor with chainmail and sword, available in 42–48 regular only at Men’s Warehouse)

9. GORILLA (Nothing says “high student ratings” like the “Teaching Gorilla”)

8. GEICO GECKO (Find out what it’s like being green, unless you’re dressing up as Kermit the Frog)

7. CAPITAL ONE “VIKING” (Your chance to be acceptably uncouth and crude)

6. LADY GAGA (Don't hurt yourself with the costume; it would help if you could sing "Telephone")

5. DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER (You might need a wig and a truck)

4. BABY “BOOMER” (With diaper, bib, rattle, pacifier)

3. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (Add a chandelier for effect)

2. CORDUROY SUIT & BOWTIE (WAIT! That's regular apparel)

2. SHERLOCK HOLMES (As much as I like Robert Downey, Jr., I still prefer Basil Rathbone with Inverness cape, deer stalker, and calabash pipe)

AND THE NUMBER 1 COSTUME:

1. PUMPKIN (With leather headband and music to perform “Gourd of the Dance”)


Tell me what costume you picked. I bet it will be creative. Your students will go nuts.
