Heroes of October 31, 2015

Now, more than ever, we have a vast array of choices facing us on the day called Halloween when we go guising. We can be anything under the Sun. Even the Sun itself!

But some people make the bravest and most valiant of choices. They eschew the wearing of all the many options - the runs-of-the-mill, if you will. Nay, these worthy few select the One True Real, Honest Choice. The Choice of Champions...

They be yeti.

And thus, these souls upon whom all praise should be rendered enter stridently into the Halls of Heroism.... as HEROES.

This year, the date October 31, 2015 saw many heroic inductees added to the roster of legends. Begin, we now do, to bring you fleeting snapshots of the heroism in action, as it most notably occurred on that Spooky Saturday at the very Edge of Ooky Ooky October.

Famous celebrity people were heroic too, if you can believe it.

Kylie Jenner's costume was mislabeled as "Eskimo princess", which isn't even a thing. It's obvs yeti.

HERO?
"Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders holds the hand of his grandson Grayson Riggs-Sanders, dressed as the Abominable Snowman, while trick-or-treating in Lebanon, N.H. Saturday, October 31, 2015"

HERO.



Some folks made references to specific yetis from the Popular Culture and did so with admirable skill, talent, aplomb, etc. I am compelled to applaud them.

SkiFree:
HERO.
Monsters, Inc.:
HERO.




Before we get to the Grand Prize Winner, I need to give an honorable mention to a certain four-year-old boy and his parent:

HERO.

"My four year old wanted to be a hydrothermal vent for #Halloween. This #yeticrab is just one of the many deep water creatures I stitched on his costume.

Hear, hear.



And now I am pleased to announce that the winner of the...

GREATEST HERO of OCTOBER 31, 2015 is....

...actually a quartet of winners.

The quadruplet Kimball boys all opted to be different yetis, and their mom made the costumes.

FOUR HEROES.
HUZZAH for THEM!

HERO.
CONGRATULATIONS, KIMBALLS. You WON the DAY.
