This IS my costume

I'm a big guy. There's no way around that. That's just the way it is. I generally don't complain but sometimes it makes things difficult. One of those things being Halloween.
If you look for "big & tall" stuff at a costume store, options are pretty limited.
That's about it.
If you try to put a costume together yourself, you put yourself at risk for considerable ridicule, especially if you want to go as any kind of recognizable pop culture icon.
Elvis? You're fat Elvis.
Indiana Jones? You're fat Indiana Jones.
Darth Vader? You're the guy who ate Darth Vader.
Batman? Go ahead and make the obvious punchline yourself.

The point is, I find it best to abandon the whole pop culture scene and look to areas more philisophical and existential for inspiration. Personally relevant and easy to do are factors also. As a result, THIS is my Halloween costume this year...
Get it?
