Just days away from Halloween, I thought I’d do a Halloween-based Sunday Seven. Just go online and browse the selections available at costume stores for the holiday; there’s almost no end to the options. Some are scary, some are sexy and some are just plain silly.
But if you’re like me, as you make a short list of options you’d consider, there are probably a few that stand out that you’d never wear. That’s the topic this week!
7 Things I’d Probably Never Dress Up as for Halloween
1. Chippendale Dancer
While I’m sure it’d be for great comic effect, I wouldn’t wish that sight on anyone.
2. Tarzan
Yeah, anything in which going shirtless is required is pretty much a no-go. Maybe next year.
3. Anything Zombie-Related
I’m not really into the whole Zombie craze, and so it isn’t likely to be a choice I’d make for a costume. That, and I figure the makeup would be a mess.
4. Anything Alcohol-Related
I saw a clever costume that looks like a giant red Dixie cup and an accompanying beach ball-sized ping pong ball. The costume, obviously, was “beer pong.” But while I might have an occasional beer or a glass of wine, the level of drunkenness that usually results from games like beer pong isn’t something I’d care to promote, so I’d let that one pass by.
5. Pirate
To me, the pirate thing is just overdone now.
6. Angry Birds
I’ve never once played this game, and don’t really have an interest in it. So I wouldn’t have much of an interest in costumes revolving around it, either.
7. Elvis
If I tried to get into an Elvis costume, I’d have to be old, fat Elvis, and what’s the fun of that?

Which popular sitcoms would make your least favorites list?
Patrick is a television producer, writer, Mac lover, and Christian, though not necessarily in that order. He has a natural dislike of double standards and poor grammar.
