Dangit! I knew I was pushing my luck. I should have quit reading this a while ago!

Only the ones from my rookie season, before I heard Padgett's advice. ;)

One year, when I taught high school, I went as a blind football ref. The students and faculty (all of whom knew I reffed) loved it.

Of course, when I threw a flag at my class, one of them reacted with an "eww - that was just in your pants!" After that, no amount of explaining that I wear about 15 layers to ref would bring them back to concentrating.

Anyway, now that I just stay home and give out candy, I wear mine. Quite a few of the kids and parents who come by recognize me as someone who has worked their games, since I have worked our local kids rec league for about 15 years. Usually the parent will say something like, "Hey - you reffed my kid's games." I sometimes reply, "Yeah - you look familiar too. Didn't I throw you out?" Most of the time that gets a laugh, but last year one woman thought I was serious and admonished me for even thinking that she could do something that would warrant an ejection. I had to tell her three times that I was only kidding. I think she was just trying to make me feel guilty so I'd give her kid extra candy.

Any pros or cons on wearing this? Any funny stories?

Then you ejected her from your front porch.

my costume recipe
 
Hockey helmet
umpire chest protector/shin guards
striped shirt, black pants, black shoes.

makes it feel a little more like a costume, as some have said they don't feel "dressed up" with the usual.
:D
