One of the easiest costumes ideas I have seen this year is to take a plain white t-shirt, and write 404 Error and then put on the bottom of the shirt, costume not found. It may be the easiest costume you ever make.

Don’t worry gentlemen, I haven’t forgotten about a quick, do it yourself costume for you. However, this costume is not for the faint of heart. How about going old school and going as Quailman, the beloved character of Doug Funnie’s imagination?

Quailman Needs:

If Quailman is not quite your style, how about going as Wilson, the neighbor from “Home Improvement?”
