Well, yesterday, anyway. Last friday of the month at work is dress-down day. Being just before Halloween it was dress up for Halloween day. So, not having a ghost or zombie costume, I thought "What could be scarier than a viking?" and so I went as one. :viking:

The Dave Budd cloak pin is about the only bit of authentic gear there, but the cloak is a wool blanket and that is a real axe on my hip (and i got to wear it all day, in public, and the local police HQ is on our work site
). In work I also had my hammock boots on instead of shoes, as they look a bit like viking shoes (if you close one eye, and most of the other one).
Anyway, I won the prize for best costume. So into the boss's office I went to collect my prize box of chocolates. In the resulting small talk I mentioned how much I liked her Adams Family Morticia look.
Turns out she wasn't in costume...
:yikes:
