This might be a little late to do for this year, unless you happen to work in a combination hardware/craft store, but it's still pretty cool. It's Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street. The key is a bottomless garbage can held up by bungie cord and lots of green yarn. Personally, I kinda think he looks more like a moldy sasquatch, but if he made the head a little wider and somehow did the big white eyes and bushy black eyebrows, it would be perfect.

If you want a little less work, you could always just go for this cycling jersey instead. (Truth be told, I had no idea that serious cyclists -- serious enough to buy tight-fitting clothes -- had such a sense of humour!)

Any other grouches out there? What about other Sesame Street costumes?
