Halloween is quickly approaching, and with the holiday comes all the costumey festivities. This year I've decided to outdo myself with the weirdness of my costume. A little backstory....
We're teaching a sequence on religion in the freshman English classes at the university this semester, so a friend of mine and my office mate got us an "Ask Me Jesus." Now, if you haven't seen the "Ask Me Jesus" anywhere, it's a foot-tall pink Jesus figurine that spits out answers like a magic 8-ball. Simply shake and you have the wisdom of the ages at your fingertips. For instance, some of Jesus' favorite words of advice are: "Watch for the lightning!" "Let me ask my dad," and, "I died for this?"
In the spirit of the quirkiness of such a bauble, I'm going to our university Halloween bash (the Edgar Allen Poe-try Reading) dressed as the Messiah himself. But not only the Messiah, a Messiah with all the answers. After I drape myself in sheets and throw on my Jesus sandals I will proceed to carry a styrofoam block with the appropriate advice attached. Anyone can ask, and I'll have all the answers.

ReplyDeleteJohnny, you do, I know you do!
ReplyDeleteI want the life-sized version. And a picture of the smaller one. Maybe with a certain background... ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL, will do, Os.
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome. I'll be going as my usual costume: drunk party guest.
ReplyDeleteI think the grim reaper would be a fantastic costume idea too.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea.
