Halloween Prep

I'm going through my Octoberly custom of not shaving, just in case my Halloween costume calls for a beard. I think it may; I do have something in mind. But I'm not settled on it, as I have yet to come up with the garb. So I'm open to suggestions! If you make one I accept I'll buy you a drink.  If you suggest something I reject you have to buy me one. If you suggest what I'm already considering we'll each buy a round.

I was Borat last year, so if you suggest that again, you'll have to buy me a drink and take a penalty shot yourself!

My GP who is actually a specialist spinal consultant said the best usage he ever got out of his PhD gown (yup, he has a medical degree and a PhD) was hiding in a cubby house at his daughter's fourth birthday (n.b. this guy has a great big fuck off beard and long hair), scruffing up his beard and his hair... then when all the little girls turned out they were told to go to the cubby house and he jumped out at them and pretended to be a gorilla; said it was one of the best days of his life! He also put his glasses on my cat last time he did a home visit and laughed like a little kid saying, "watch this, it really freaks them out."

That's my roundabout stream of consciousness response to you stating that you were growing a beard.
