He could get bonus points if he made his arms look like shorter arms holding a couple of baguettes. Or ferrets! That way he could make them fight.

That’s pretty sweet. It does look like he has a couple orangutan arms, of course.

  A Mr Fantastic suit with a hint of grey hair dye at the temples would have worked pretty well here.

He should have gone as Toulouse-Lautrec on stilts, it would explain the arms.

Raising the waistline would also have helped a bit. Still — simple and effective and a joke at his own expense; I give it full points.

    Get baggy pants or just suck ‘em in. ;)

Is it Halloween already? I must have overslept.

I’m not even going to click the link to make sure or anything: That apartment looks like it’s in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

I like this, but I really wish I could see what he did to disguise his feet.
