Title: Tron costume (an oldie but a goodie)

This is Sock Master (of CoCo3 fame, amongst other things (http://www.axess.com/twilight/sock/dk/index.html)),

This was my halloween costume in 2003. This was the ultimate halloween costume - and it took a lot of work to create a Tron costume. Well, at least I have a cool photo to show for all the work. The costume was designed so that the grey parts do not fluoresce and the blue parts do. It looked very close to the way they looked in the movie in regular light, but when you got near a blacklight, the glowing effect really came to light.

I'm guessing he used flourescent tape, which would've been a lot of work sketching and cutting out.

Hah, yeah I figured people would expect that one. No no, that would be bad form.

What the hell is he supposed to be doing in that last one?

He is ironing the right boob of a dead woman. It's his hobby. Tron Guy usually does that Tuesday nights after bingo and buffet at the casino. It's a gateway addiction though. It won't be long before he ventures into ironing left boobs. Possibly on a Thursday night.

Oh. I would've taken the ironing up to her room.
