My favorite last night was a teen in toga (technically a 'tribon') carrying a lantern who proclaimed himself Diogenes, searching for some honest candy.
His little brother was a Gorgosaurus libratus in a detailed, hand-made costume.
These are my people. You know: nerds.

Diogenes
St. Francis (Pre-Canonization)
Stafford Beer
The base principle is that the only real thing is what you do, and what you say can only do as much as you live it.

We think Diogenes is pretty funny with millennia of distance but I think i probably would have been pretty sick of his shit if I had to live at the same time as him.
