Every holiday has its optimal costumes. Christmas is pajamas and a robe, Groundhog Day a suit and tie, Yom Kippur a dark, propellerless beanie. As Halloween costumes tend to focus on scariness, and as scariness varies from year to year, I thought I'd be festive and topical this week by spewing out a few costume ideas for y'all.

Al Gore over-the-head masks are available from the Nightmare Factory (https://www.nightmarefactory.com/Tf60031.jpg). Good luck pulling it off. (Historic Bonus: Read “Gore Gets Beastly Bill for Disney Costumes” [1995] (https://www.sddt.com/files/librarywire/DN95_11_29/DN95_11_29_ch.html)

Second Lady (“HEY LADY!!”) Tipper Gore can often be found at the New Salem Missionary Baptist Church in Carthage, Tennessee (https://198.137.240.91/WH/kids/images/tipper.jpg). Note: Tipper is the white one in red.
