Halloween - 2 - Shopping

After work, I dragged Alan to Globus to buy a costume.
(Globus is the the K-mart-like store which sells
everything. The main advantage is that it is right on the
way back from work). My best ideas, like dressing up as a
girl or like Superman, were all shot down as soon as I told
Alan, so we had to look for something more low-key. Toga!
All we needed was a big white sheet and some kind of vine
to turn into a crown. That idea was acceptable, but Alan
did not seem overly thrilled. At Globus they had some lime
green sheets which were on sale, which would have saved him
probably about €5-10, and I put them into the basket until
he spotted the next idea...

There was a black baseball hat made of felt, which had the
words "American Legend" embroidered in red. Alan decided
to dress up as an American hillbilly. He found a cheesy-
looking plaid shirt, silver duct tape, rubber boots, and
promised to bring some faded black jeans from home. I
donated a little pillow to add a little weight to him, and
when he had the costume on, even I had to admit it looked
authentic!
