Halloween Stories

[weesh]

I'd love to hear some light-hearted stories of yesteryear, regarding this fun upcoming holiday. In fact, any meaningful story will do.

I'll kick us off:

It was 2006 or so, and about a month or so before Halloween, a young kid that I did not know was passing by. His jaw dropped to the floor. I smiled at him and the following transpired:

Kid: "you look just like that guy from the lion the witch and the wardrobe!"

Weesh: <pride welling up> "Oh, you mean High King Peter?"

Kid: "No! Mr. Tumnus!"

Weesh: <deflated> "..."

The demotion from protagonist King to semi-traitorous faun was a bit shocking. : )

And yes, it was my doing. Prideful to a fault.

But I decided to rise to the occasion. I found an old-timey umbrella, a red scarf, and made plans for a flute-thingy, a brown paper package and goatee shaping...only to be stymied with furry pants. I went to every store that I could think of in Lubbock Texas, as well as two dedicated costume stores, and could find nothing. You might have thought there would be a Chewbacca or bigfoot costume to modify, but there wasn't even anything in the vicinity of what a faun looks like in the stores. I wasted so much time looking locally that I ran out of time to order them. <sigh> What could have been...

A faun sounds like an awesome cosplay... brb looking up a female one for the future.
