Excuse Me, it’s Pronounced Deer-Tay
Not being a competitive person, I’m not much of an in-it-to-win-it kind of girl. Unless, that is, you’re talking about a gift card to the best restaurant in town, which was the prize that year for my company’s Halloween Costume Contest.
I decided to risk it all—my good reputation and husband’s future affection—to become Joe Dirt.
I won the contest, and the prized gift card. And though my husband couldn’t look at me the same for a month, it was worth it.
What’s your favorite Halloween getup?

I remember that day well. Shockingly awesome to say the least.
Shock & awe. Just what Joe is all about!
I had to look not once….not twice….but three times at this!
😀
Aaah! So good. So scary, but so good. (Although I had to look up Joe Dirt. Sorry, I had no idea.)
So sad you’ve been missing out on this iconic hero.
I really think you should have shaved your chest hair.. that’s the only thing that gave you away..
You’re right, I should have. But I was afraid of razor burn.
I have to know what restaurant was worth alienating your husband with a mullet. LOL
The Bistro in Conway, SC. And it is mullet-worthy!!
Do you have chest hair? Oh, that restaurant is so worth it! Great costume, btw.
My favorite was the year I dressed as a stoplight, and yes, my lights lit up. Gotta find that photo, even though I wouldn’t have won against Joe Dirt. : )
That costume sounds hilarious! Yes, find the pic…
