In recent recorded memory (and everything is recent) I cannot recall dressing up (when I even bothered to dress up) as anything other than a cowboy, Rowdy Roddy Piper, or Brad Pitt's character from Kalifornia (which was by default as I had long greasy hair, a little wisp of a beard and was wearing a trucker cap and a wife beater ribbed tank top.)(The similarity was called to my attention, while the getup was simply what I happened to be wearing around that time.)(And actually, the Rowdy one was a little defaultish too as I just happened to have a kilt in the closet.)
Besides Rowdy and Brad, the cowboy thing has been my overwhelming choice since junior high. No wait, one time I dressed up as a Portuguese gas station attendant. I borrowed one of Gabe's gas station shirts, put a beanie hat on and put black stuff in my eyebrows and my "soul chip."
Man, recalling all this stuff just recalls what an idiot I have been.
No wonder I don't like Halloween.

The WWF was a major inspiration in neighborhood costumes where I grew up. The WWF guys were already in cheap costumes so it was pretty easy to D.I.Y. My mom didn't like Holloween, I didn't get to go out much for candy, so I didn't like Holloween.
I have 33 years worth of great costume ideas (though none involve Brad Pitt, I couln't pull that off). At the top of my list, my favorite is the gold old-fashioned Hobo.
I really like tin cans.
This year I dressed up as a guy who is unsure if he wants to keep dating the same gal. huh huh
