HALLOWEEN IS NOT JUST AROUND THE CORNER
This is probably a good thing.
(Thanks to Louis)

I am sure this nerd is a friend of Louis and Gilbert over at Adams College.
NERDS!

I think this is great. Especially the explanation of his character being an overweight accounting program. I wish he could have done more with the lights and less with the unitard...eek.
Posted by: Meeker | April 25, 2004 at 04:50 AM
One additional lesson to learn, which shows he must not have looked in a mirror - WEAR A CUP!
Posted by: CSL | April 25, 2004 at 04:51 AM
What possessed him to take SIDE VIEWS of himself in a unitard???
*shudder* the mind boggles...

Princess Worm Kidney: you know your name wbagnfarb.
Get Mr. Barf Bag, 'cause no one needs to see Mr. Unitard (also wbagnfarb) this early on a Sunday morning.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 25, 2004 at 05:01 AM
One more hint to Mr. Unitard: Fan Pants.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 25, 2004 at 05:03 AM
Actually, it's not nearly as disturbing as that "Always a Kid" guy that CD shared with us yesterday. Now THAT was sick; this is just kind of sad.

"and afterwards, a very nice portrait:"
Um, no.

It bears repeating...there is a VERY fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

Thank god I'm hungover, and probably won't remember that horrid image in a few hours. Hopefully.

I'm not really sure how to say this delicately, but I'll try: In the view of him in the green tinted tights is the strangest looking posterior I've ever seen. In fact, it looks to me like the front view of a female, if you know what I mean.

This cotume is Great! FOR ME TO POOP ON!!

thr's much to be said for individual rights
and more to be said for individual wrongs
Posted by: Bangi_G | April 25, 2004 at 06:46 AM
Lmd33 ... I noticed the camel toe as well.
But the most pressing question on everyone's mind ... is that suit machine washable?
Who made coffee and who wants to pour me a cup?
Please!
Posted by: Punky Brewster | April 25, 2004 at 06:51 AM
Camel toe - I like that. :)
Posted by: Lmd33 | April 25, 2004 at 06:54 AM
Men in unitards, men in skirts, men in tights.
It's all wrong.
Nuff said.
Oh, here Punky. ~D)

A good place to start would be between the pockets, laddy. On second thought, from the look of things, there's already been some fixing done down there.

Holly Sh*t! That was not what I needed to see first thing in the morning. Punky, I'm having a shot of Bailey's in my coffee. In fact, *here's one for everybody.*
Posted by: Lee | April 25, 2004 at 08:03 AM
AAAGGHH, the purity of my Sunday has been soiled! What is it about certain men that gives them no shame in wearing things like that? No overweight women would be caught dead wearing a tight unitard.
Posted by: Webmom | April 25, 2004 at 08:06 AM
holy smokes!!! my eyes! they're melting!!! this reminded me of our halloween murder parties (every halloween my buds and i are part of this murder club. we turn a friend's house into whatever latest nightmare then kill off all the guests). all of us were obsessed with our costumes. this was years ago. we have stopped buying all that carrageenan for ghost entrails. we have marriages now, jobs even. that's why it's called growing up.
Posted by: Charm | April 25, 2004 at 08:18 AM
That's just WRONG!
Posted by: MeL | April 25, 2004 at 08:21 AM
If I hadn't just recently seen a grown man in a Sailor Venus costume, I would say that this is the most disturbing costume ever.
...
No, scratch that, this IS the most distrubing costume ever. At least Sailor V had a painstakingly done costume. This guy is going to give me nightmares for the rest of my natural life.
Posted by: Chicken Little | April 25, 2004 at 08:22 AM
"Not that there's anything wrong with that."
Oh, that was too funny! All a guy really needs is three...ur, Ken might not notice but I...um...I think I'll just stop now. Time for another shot of Bailey's!!!!
Posted by: Lee | April 25, 2004 at 08:33 AM
did anybody else notice that this guy kinda looks like milton from Office Space
Posted by: David | April 25, 2004 at 09:26 AM
Nice testicle outline, buddy.
Posted by: Andy | April 25, 2004 at 09:31 AM
OK, now I get the "unitard" comments in the skortman posts.
Now I wish I didn't.
Now I think I'll head back down to the barf bag collector for a few minutes ;-)
Posted by: eadn | April 25, 2004 at 09:33 AM
Bangi wakes up from coma...who's got the baileys?
Posted by: Bangi_G | April 25, 2004 at 09:42 AM
Wow.
Holy smokes.
This may be the single saddest thing I've seen on the Internet.
Posted by: Bob | April 25, 2004 at 09:42 AM
Totally...tho I must say I think Milton's 10x cooler.
Posted by: MeL | April 25, 2004 at 09:57 AM
clothes ,desk and hair seem to make milton alot less harmful.
*sipping bailey thoughtfully*
Posted by: Bangi_G | April 25, 2004 at 09:58 AM
Punky, please rest easy, I think Dave was too busy to post yesterday. So he's making it up by "hurling some stuff up" today ;-)
Posted by: eadn | April 25, 2004 at 10:03 AM
Hurling is definately something that comes to mind after seeing this, eadn.
Posted by: MeL | April 25, 2004 at 10:13 AM
I got your Bailey's right here, Bangi! Holy smokes, we're on here at the same time? Are you staying up late, or what?
That is an eery resemblance, punky. But I haven't seen Office Space yet. Very, very bad of me, since I actually live in Austin! Ok, now it's next on my Netflix queue.
Posted by: Lee | April 25, 2004 at 10:17 AM
LEE! How could you have NOT seen Office Space?? It's like only the greatest movie ever.
Posted by: MeL | April 25, 2004 at 10:19 AM
It's not just that this guy DID this.
It's that he actually put a lot of thought into it, planned it, looked at himself and the uniform at every stage, and STILL did it.
ON PURPOSE.
IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY.
Hello?
Posted by: OkieRazorbacker | April 25, 2004 at 10:23 AM
MeL, I know, I know! It's even more remarkable because I'm such a movie geek! Netflix say's I have rated 1082 movies, which means I actually remember watching over 1000 movies. And I have 82 movies in my queue. What a geek! When it came out I was having some kind of anti-Jennifer Aniston thing, but I got over it. If she's good enough for Brad Pitt, she's good enough for me! ;-)
Posted by: Lee | April 25, 2004 at 10:25 AM
I'm anti-Jennifer Aniston just because she annoys me...but the movie is so worth it just because of Milton! :)
Posted by: MeL | April 25, 2004 at 10:27 AM
Yup, she used to annoy me to no end. She still gets on my nerves, but I don't seem to catch Friends as often, so my neck hair doesn't automaticly stand up. It takes a bit of time. (slight movie misquote, can anybody name the movie?)
Posted by: Lee (490 and counting ;-) | April 25, 2004 at 10:36 AM
Somebody needs to get this person a Subservient Chicken costume for Halloween instead.
Posted by: D'Artagnan | April 25, 2004 at 10:53 AM
Maybe he IS the Subservient Chicken...Hmm, maybe somebody should ask the chicken to "do TRON."
Maybe not.

"Princess Worm Kidney: you know your name wbagnfarb.

Who's wbagnbarf? I have no clue. Actually this screen name is a childhood nickname, translated into English...
Posted by: Princess Worm Kidney | April 25, 2004 at 11:34 AM
Princess? Jeff meant he thought your name "Would Be A Good Name For A Rock Band" (wbagnfarb). Dave Barry has a list on his website proper and Jeff was complimenting your moniker :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 25, 2004 at 11:41 AM
Nice toe, dude.
yeeesh!
Posted by: Leetie | April 25, 2004 at 11:54 AM
Is it just me, or did his "package" take on a greater "shipping weight" as the costume got more elaborate?
Not that I looked
Posted by: Bassman | April 25, 2004 at 02:52 PM
ow, OW, OOOWWWW, my eyes!
Posted by: Jessica | April 25, 2004 at 04:21 PM
Careful! Dave may get a letter from Unitard Man whining about how we are being insensitive to him and his "hobby".
Come to think of it ... I think Unitard Man and Tinky would make a great couple!
Let's email them and set up a date!
Posted by: Punky Brewster | April 25, 2004 at 04:26 PM
If you ask me, that guy's "Lessons Learned" section is nowhere near as long as it should be!
Posted by: Gregg | April 25, 2004 at 05:45 PM
He does have nice legs though.
Posted by: Pattie | April 25, 2004 at 07:10 PM
The lightup part of the costume was actually pretty cool - although underwear (or better yet, a cup) would have been a great idea.
He (they?) also don't know crap about photography - when they turned off the flash (to capture the suit lights) they should have used a tripod.
And how long was this convention thingie he went to? How did he expect to go the terlet?
Love that smug look - he is the coolest dork on the planet.
It also reminds me of a great MST3K episode - "Prince of Space" - a Japanese movie featuring chubby, chicken-beaked humanoid aliens with clinging uniforms and no underwear, flaunting their one-inch weiners at the camera, much to the discomfiture of Mike and the bots.

Shudder - reminds me of that comedic bit by Jeff Foxworthy, in which he talks about men with no butts looking like a frog standing on his hind legs wearing double knit trousers. ... or like this fellow here.
Posted by: lcm | April 26, 2004 at 05:46 AM
I resent that - I am "the coolest dork on the planet."
Posted by: jabba | April 26, 2004 at 06:24 AM
I'm just glad Dave isn't sophisticated enough to see nothing wrong with this.
