[ back ] [ forth ]

10th of August, 2002, Milwaukee. Something, something, Slim Jim! Sorry, that's all I got. I inquired about the inspiration of this costume. I believe he is dressed as one called Caz. (Next tyme I need to bring a note pad.)

UPDATE; Only now in the end do I understand. Like a ray of divine inspiration this man's cause becomes clear; The personality protrayed here is Cats, from the Zero Wing video game by Toaplan. The absurdity of the Japanese to English translation of the game's cutscenes has granted character in question near cult status;

"In A.D. 2101 War was beginning.
Captain: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What !
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's You !!
Cats: How are you gentlemen !!
Cats: All your base are belong to us.
Cats: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say !!
Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time.
Cats: HA HA HA HA ....
Captain: Take off every 'zig' !!
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move 'zig'.
Captain: For great justice."

Dice are evil. And all your base are belong to us.
