I love when I am at the grocery store during a month nowhere near October, and I see a 4 year old wearing a spider man costume & cowboy boots.
Today at the coffee shop I saw a high school kid in a baggy, albeit very shiny costume. He looked a rather loose interpretation of an admiral from Napoleon's Navy. Neither the looseness, nor the extraordinarily shoddy three cornered-ish hat diminished my enjoyment.
A couple of months ago I saw a man riding a bicycle past the shop in pig costume.
A few months before that I was sitting like a bump on a log with my friend who is from the Czech Republic when two little girls came around the corner wearing princess costumes. With no emotion in my voice whatsoever I said that I thought I'd start dressing like that. Very matter of factly my friend responded, "You pretty much already do," which made me burst out laughing.
However, I think my out of context costume sighting that takes the cake happened a few years ago. I was inside a restaurant staring out the window when I just so happened to see a white Volkswagen Jetta drive past containing five adult clowns in full clown regalia (rainbow wigs, round red noses, make-up, etc.) My eyes bulged out, and I yelled, "Did you see that??!!!" People looked at me like, "see what?" One person out on the sidewalk heard me through the open window, turned around, and excitedly yelled, "I saw it!! I saw it!!"
