  1. Wendy

  1. A construction barrel

Eric Merrill/Flickr Mock us all and throw one of these over your head. Then, randomly position yourself along the sidewalk to inconvenience trick-or-treaters. It will simply give them a taste of what it’s like to drive in Ohio when they’re old enough to do so.

  1. The Wright Brothers

  1. Frisch’s Big Boy

  1. Twenty One Pilots

Chris Romano/Flickr Show your famous (yet fairly local) homeboys some love and sport a ski mask and skeleton hoodie with your best friend. (If you can get your hands on a drum set, a ukulele or a piano to do flips off of, then you will have truly taken it to the next level.)

  1. Thomas Edison
