Halloween Costume ideas?

Well H/A, it's getting close to that time of the year again, where people get to dress up and pretend to be things that go bump in the night. Thats right, I'm talking about Halloween.
I usually just end up going to the bar or something, and the last few years haven't put much thought into getting a good costume. Last year I didn't actually do anything, I got back from Cuba on the 1st of November. But the year before that I was Fred Krueger, fresh out of janitorial school, hopes and dreams still intact. My costume consisted of jeans and a red and black stripped sweater. It was lame.
This year I am going to a keggar, where I am required to have an at least semi cool costume. As it stands now, I have no ideas. I need your help.
I am about 6'0, on the bit overweight side. I have shortish hair, and scruffy facial hair, but growing a beard in a month is childs play for me. My hair is brown, and my beard grows in super red.
I would prefer if the costume didn't cost an arm and a leg, but I would be willing to shell out a bit of cash for it. Ideas away!

...and Silent Bob.
This is me.
And my buddy has the market cornered on Mario. He's been Mario the last 3 years.
"Pictures with beerman" "show beerman your boobs" and "dance party on beerman" have all be great and very successful lines in the past.
Of course if you think that sounds lame, that's okay too.
[edit] bear in mind that my buddies and I had been collecting for 9 months, so it might take you a while to get it all together.
I spent a lot of time on that costume, but I spent only $30 - $40. If you start early, you can make pretty much anything you can think up.
Classic characters from old movies/shows are always great, especially when they take more effort than finding similar looking clothing.

you are not overweight.
you can do a hell of a lot of things for Halloween, but for god's sake
shave that beard
No.
Keep it.
Then dress up as FireFox, the web browser.
Furrrrry.
Seriously, if that's you in your avatar, why even think about going as anyone other than Wolverine?
...just saying
eeeewwwwwww
look, the leprechaun suggestion should be informative
yo beard looks like a fairy tale and you should shave it
I was just saying that the first two thoughts that went through my head when I saw that picture are Leprechaun and Pirate.
And Pirate is most likely going to be way overdone for halloween, but how many halloween leprechauns do you see out and about?
Guess who you are?
TA-DAA. Now practice snarky one-liners in a nasally voice and limping while you down pretend vicodin every few minutes.
Hes beard is red. Leprechaun is the way to go if he can find a cheap green top hat. A nice green button up shit and pants would work.
I definatly want something that people will see and recognize.
Clearly, you must regrow the beard and go as a giant leperchaun.
It's the only way.
raid your local thrift shops/Salvation Army for green-wear, grow the beard, carry a half-empty bottle of tipple and voila
edit: or you could go as Shaggy from Scooby Doo, even better if you find someone else to coordinate with

All you need to know. Article could easily end here.
Last year I was a "head in the fridge". I used cardboard and then bought some white posterboard paper to tape on the outside. I made the custom so there was a bottom on the fridge with a door handle and marker board glued to it and the top was a freezer with a taped swinging door. Open the door and there was my head.
The year before I was (another head?) a head on a table. I cut a hole in a piece of wood/tablecloth, and plastic serving plate. Then glued wine glasses and silverware to it.
I'm on the opinion that the more cumbersome a custom is the more attention you will get for it. "Who the hell puts a table in the hallway!" was one of the more often yelled things at that party.
