A Pope And A Mexican Walk Into A Bar

You'd probably never see a costume like this these days.  But since I'm documenting my Halloween costumes from the past...


I'm Señor Podredumbre de Calabaza.

This is amazing.

I remember this Halloween very well. Everyone who saw my brother’s costume was in love with it and came over to talk to him. He was the center of attention and I was not liking it (awful). Then some older kids dressed as cops came over laughing and pretending they were providing security for him. It was really funny to watch. But not as a young envious brother. Haha

Proving conclusively I am the worst brother in the world.

Sara said...

They didn’t like your Mexican getup? No bueno.

Rot said...

I was invisible, Sara. Haha

Rot said...

And apparently still bitter about it.

Sara said...

Apparently! I’m sure your brother forgives you trespassing against him lol. Get it?? Har har.

Rot said...

I feel a great weight has been lifted. Haha

I'm wondering how you came up with the idea for your costume. It just seems like such and unusual choice for a kid. You and your bro always look like you had so much fun together. :)

Rot said...

I'm afraid to reply...
haha

I actually recall this year very clearly and it was 100% my idea.
I was stuck on the idea and I felt the constant painful smile was vital to burying myself in the role.

So many jokes to post here .What to say... I'm short circuiting! Haha!
Theres gotta be a backstory. Like the Pope was stopping over in mexico to see a potato chip Jesus on display after the government asked him to be in Roswell to bless the alien corpses that crashed and see what the Vatican was prepared to do. I'd repeat this at every house!

Willow Cove said...

Thats why the pope is frowning. He's freaked out about what he knows.....

Rot said...

haha Meanwhile, the Mexican government seems overjoyed at knowing the ultimate truth.

I think we have a Netflix movie script in the making ;)
Who will play you? And can pull off a sullen Pope….

Rot said...

haha Not sure who could play my complex range of emotions.
But I've already cast Jennifer Connelly in a supporting role.



Willow Cove said...

Sweet! Might have to start working on my Rocketeer outfit.

Rot said...

Haha

Holy Tarra said...

I love it that you were already so committed to burying yourself in the role at that age ; )

Rot said...

haha...I was a very theatrical kid.
