It would be hard to top Optimus Prime!
http://www.arr-the-kraken.com/projects/duffman1.phpI remember you mentioning that. Was your costume similar to the dude in the link I posted or way different?
But can anything top this for time spent n a costume. In the end pretty cool, but that guy must never find time to leave his mother's basement
Real Thing CostumeMine was similar, but he definately took a lot more time. I just used can holders instead of painting beer can. Throughout the night, i would just drink the beer I had as part of my custume. I had more cans of beer in the car, so when we switched bars, I would reload. I used a premade superman costume and cut the heck out of it to make it work. it had a molded chestpiece so I looked totally buff like duffman. I taped the duffman logo over the superman symbol. taped it to the front of a baseball cap. It was basically a cheap way to make it with very little effort, but it looked awesome. The boots were red like superman's, but nobody gave a shit or noticed.
Here's how I won the contest... which I think is a cool story.. actually, I got second. I forgot who got first, but it was awesome.
We had a chance to walk across the stage to show off our costume. Well, when I did, I took one of my empty beer cans out of my holster. I pretened to open it, then pretended to chug it for a few seconds. I then held it up from the bottom of the can in my one hand and proceeded to smash it against the side of my head. Well, right before I hit my head with it, I crushed it in my hand first. And by hitting it into the thick part of my hat, I barely felt a thing.
The whole bar went crazy and I was the man for that moment. Correction... I was the Duff Man.
and therein lies the story of my duff man halloween and how I got second place for a profit of $250 or something like that.
