I'm a little last minute here, but finally got my costume... ahem, I mean costumes ready.

First up, a hippy from the summer of '69:

In this pic, a man dressed as an old-school hippy (me) is standing in the foreground with a Flying V guitar in hand while a dog dressed as a turtle is laying down in a bed in the background. The man has long hair and a handlebar mustache... he is wearing a leather headband, round sunglasses, a long-sleeved jean shirt unbuttoned revealing a tye-dye shirt beneath it, and brown, corduroy bell-bottoms.

And another shot as the same character but with a different guitar:

In this pic, a man dressed as a hippy (me) is sitting on the ground strumming an acoustic guitar next to his dog (dressed as a turtle) who is laying on a dog bed.

Wardrobe change! Once trick or treaters started showing up, I morphed into Mankind (a WWE wrestling character portrayed by Mick Foley and freaked out quite a few kids that showed up. At least one kid knew who I was and was super siked to see me, haha!

Here I am doing my best to look big and intimidating as Mankind:

A man (me) stands initimidatingly. He has a brown leather mask that looks like a mix of a bunch of belts and Hannibal lector's mask covering most of his face. His long brown hair sticks out of different holes in the mask. He is wearing a white button up shirt and brown khaki pants. He is... Mankind!

And another one that is less intimidating with our nearly empty cauldron of candy:

Another one of me dressed as Mankind. A man (me) stands hunched over with a plastic cauldron that is full of candy. The man is licking his lips but you can hardly tell...

Anywho, that's me this year! Happy Halloween folks! 🎃

Hahaha! When you know, you know... and you know. 😁

Bahhhh! I totally missed out on Socko!!... What was I thinking?! I also forgot the dang neck tie and could've used some boots, haha.

So, this is for sure... I will be returning as Mankind in the future and Socko is coming along for the ride next time. Sometime in the future, I'm thinking I'll do the three faces of Foley... I was already pretty much 75% of the way to being Dude Love , haha.

Anywho, thank you for knowing what's up, Jo! 🙌
