Used to have long hair.
Dressed up as Jesus one year for a work do. Full on sandals, robe, leather tie around and some sort of head band thingy.
The main part was a 7 foot cross I made from 2 flattened computer boxes I got from work. I bought the biggest box of crayons I could find. Over 100 crayons. Had about 10 shades of brown and a black crayon. Spent ages drawing the grain on the cross.
Work do was in town. Tried to get a taxi, cross was too big. Tried to get a bus, cross was too big.
Walked into town. People honked. Heard someone in Rathmines running up behind me, though they were going to break the cross. Turns out they just wanted to take a photo.
Got to the ha'penny bridge. Was crazy windy AF. Raised my arms and shouted BE CALM! and the wind died down for a bit.
Got to the work party and everyone loved the costume and cross.
Within about 30 min the office joker was drunk and smashed up the cross.
Still won 100 Euro for best costume.
