Halloweeny
Nodaisho:
The thing that the beer-ladies wear is a dirndl, not lederhosen. That's what the stereotypical oktoberfest/bavarian man wears (or Jim Morrison, considering that it just means leather pants).
Or maybe you knew that, and were saying you like men in tiny lederhosen. Can't tell.

God, I haven't done Halloween in years. I just pass out candy, now. "Old guy in the big dark house" is scarey enough, I suppose.
But when I was in college, we went for puns at the halloween parties. One year I had a cross between Charlie Chaplin and Emmet Kelly going, but with horns on the derby and a tail made from a stocking leg with a fuzzy tuft coming out from under the tailcoat. I was a bum steer.
One friend was a furry with a syringe on top (spoonerize it).
There was the Celt, all in blue body paint and a loincloth, with a sack of treasure - he was the "Wode warrior from beyond plundered Rome". That one was a stretch...
And the guy in fatigues, with the crocheted afgans strapped like bandoliers across his shoulders, and a toy rifle. The Afghan freedom fighter. It was the 80's...
One year I dressed up as Pinnochio, with vampire punctures on my neck. My girlfriend (now wife) dressed as a female vampire, and we replaced her fangs with little twist drill bits.
She was a sapsucker...
God, there were so many more. The Freudian slip, the memory jogger, the Gypsie Rosalie, ...
There was the John Wayne lookalike. With vampire fangs. His line was, "You heard of The Duke? Well, [smile, show fangs] I'm the Count!"
Get creative, guys. It doesn't take much. If I can find a pic of my greatest costume, from grad school, I'll post it.

So I think I have my costume figured out: Jessie from Team Rocket. Where can I find cheap black opera gloves?
Now I just need an awesome place to wear it.

I sewed a fake apple on top of a winter hat, got one of those cheap arrow-through-the-head gags, and put it under the hat.

I'm not going to lie, I wore underwear as pants for my Skanky batman costume on Friday night. And I looked awesome! (no photos though I don't think)
But I pretty much always wear underwear as pants now because derby has given me a hella great ass so whatevs. I have had to buy new underwear to wear under my derby pants because they are smaller than pretty much all my underwear.
Derby is the BEST sport.
