“We discovered that it was OK to have a little high-brow as long you have a lot of low-brow. That’s entertainment value. The one thing you want to avoid is the middle brow, because the whole world is frigging middle brow at the moment.” – Jon Langford
Please help Mookie decide: should he go as a clown looking for his John 3:16 sign (turns out that's a very scary story!) or as a delightful if insouciant devilish redhead?

George markets only for the forces of good for a living. He has a paid hobby that involves eating, drinking, and writing, things he’d do for free, which is almost what he’s doing it for. In a previous life he taught mostly illiterate and generally ungrateful college students how to write. He has been a body guard for Jodie Foster, a walk-on dancer with French avant garde troupe Maguy Marin, a film programmer, a judge at an Iron Chef style competition, a political activist, a textbook author, a bassist in a band, a two-time league winning fantasy baseball manager, a union local president, a pr flack helping run a red carpet at an Angelina Jolie event, a janitor, a chauffeur to folks from TC Boyle to Andrei Codrescu, a delivery man to Plato's Retreat, a reluctant writer of a non-snarky intro for Colin Powell, a radio DJ, a corn detassler, an escort van driver, a rock journalist, a lab assistant for a company that made everything from mouthwash to super skin lubricant, and even, once, a poet. His biggest brush with fame was when Julie Christie fondled his tie, a tie George Lopez belittled to 1000 people minutes later. The best thing about him is his wife. His dogs aren't bad, either.

Holy shit! I didn't know any of that John 3:16 guy story. That's just weird.
Go with the red--it looks better.
Yikes, I didn't know that story either. May-un.
I'm with Tom, by the way: the devil wig & horns is the way to go.
Yeah, heathen with a bad memory that I am, I had to Google to check it was John 3:16 and then found the sad story.
Mookie is officially a red, anyway, so that does seem to be the best look.
Personally, I prefer the curly one.

The red looks very fetching.
