This past Halloween, I found myself in a predicament I frequently wind up in— I didn’t have a costume. It’s not that I dislike Halloween, I love it. But when you have two small daughters, and you’re knee-deep in work, time isn’t exactly on your side.

My wife went as Angelica Huston’s character from The Witches while my youngest daughter wore a crinoline dress and my oldest dressed like a fashionable, goth witch. Desperate to appear like I wasn’t phoning it in for another year (I was), I put on some Taco Bell swag I had recently acquired—a large, branded taco hat and a sweatshirt featuring their logo from the mid-90s. I would be the Taco Bell Superfan, because why not?
