Halloween costume ideas from Bob Dylan

Halloween, with its strange sartorial obligations, is now just one week distant.  If you’re stuck for ideas, you might consider going:

• as a mule with jewels and binoculars hung around its head
• as a preacher with twenty pounds of headlines stapled to his chest
• wearing a leopard-skin pill-box hat
• as a gypsy with a broken flag and flashing ring
• as a man in a long black coat (easy!)
  
• as Shakespeare, with pointed shoes and bells
• with your hands in your back pockets, Bette Davis-style
• as a poet who died in the gutter
• as a retired businessman named Red, cast down from heaven and out of his head
• as a god with the body of a woman well-endowed and the head of a hyena
• as a squire, bootlegged whiskey in his hand
• wearing high-heeled sneakers, with your pants rolled up past your waist and your wig-hat falling in your face
• as a shoeless, deaf hunter
• wearing an Egyptian ring that sparkles before you speak
• as Jack the Ripper with a bald wig

I could go on and on.  Any other suggestions?
