I'm Nacho Libre At Saturday's Race

A few months ago in Mexico I bought a Nacho Libre mask for $10 - quite arguably the best $10 I ever spent. It would be a crying shame to let a $10 Nacho Libre mask just sit in the closet collecting dust, right?

I'm running the Utah Valley Half Marathon on Saturday and I've decided to go full Nacho.
  • $10 wrestling mask - check.
  • Cape from a Halloween costume when you were 6 years old - check.
  • Red shorts - check.
  • Too tight blue spandex shorts from the girls section of the thrift store - check.
  • Flesh-colored t-shirt to wear underneath cape......Houston, we have a problem.
Currently I have no t-shirt to wear under the cape. I was hoping to avoid reliving the nightmare of shirts and skins in middle school PE, but I'm willing to do what I've got to do.

I'm eating ice cream and candy like crazy to pack on a few pounds before Saturday. That leaves me three days to transform myself from a nerdy, skinny geek into THIS.......
  
Question: Is Nacho Libre a great movie.....or the greatest movie ever?

  8. I hope you have run a successful half (successful because of the finishing time and the outfit).
