Have you heard of Squirtman? He’s a superhero from Columbus, Ohio. His weapon of choice is a special squirt gun that can shrink villains (so they’re easy to beat up), and his primary nemesis is Umbrella Man. He also boasts an awesome Squirtman theme song, written and recorded by his father, SquirtDad.
His website is pretty insane (in a good way!): www.squirtman.com. He has tons of photos and video of his superhero shenanigans. For years he appeared on public access television in Columbus, performing stunts and crazy antics, until the the channel unfortunately went off the air.
Squirtman also auditioned for the show “Who Wants to be a Superhero?” You can watch his audition video in the list below.
Totally hilarious! Squirtman and his friends are obviously having way, WAY more fun than me. In the video of them dancing, one of the girls is wearing her underwear on the outside. WTF?!
Enjoy the photos and videos below, and remember, kids — Squirtman is your friend!
Garments in Pollitt’s favoured washed and treated leathers, silk georgettes and jersey fabrics had intricate panels and zippers in homage to the “second skin” space suits worn by characters in the film.
“The suits were a second skin to protect them from the elements,” Pollitt said. “They felt like extensions of their muscles and ribcages and I’ve applied those ideas to modern garments without making them too costumey.”
Pretty cool and strange. But what does Pollitt mean by “without making them too costumey” ?? Someone needs to tell him that they are, in fact, costumey.
We’ve written about the World Superhero Registry before, but CNN brings a fresh look at the Cinncinatti-based “Allegiance of Heroes” group. And while they may look funny walking the streets in their superhero costumes, they’re serious about helping the police fight crime.
These guys are quite the vigilantes, carrying handcuffs and tasers. It’s perfectly legal to make a Citizen’s Arrest in Ohio, but they could totally get sued if they “arrest” someone who turns out to be innocent. Interesting stuff!
This video is awesome! A group of high school students pull a prank with Ghostbuster costumes! They disrupt classes by chasing ghosts down the aisles. LOL, thankfully they recorded the whole thing on video!
Ah, high school pranks. It IS that time of year. And of all the pranks I’ve seen (or been a part of), this is definitely one of the better ones.
Want to win a trip to the red-carpet Hollywood premier of Transformers 2? Win the costume contest!
It’s true. Paramount Pictures and Entertainment Tonight have announced an official Transformers costume contest. You must submit a photo of your costume at www.etonline.com on April 29th – that’s today!
A Firefly Archive has been recently put online. Very, very cool! It includes actual props and costumes that were used in the filming of the 2002 TV series, Firefly.
The owner of the site is a rabid collector and it’s really nice that he put his collection online for fans. He has Mal’s original browncoat, along with lots of weapons and set props – many are actual antiques from the early 1900’s.
Filming for the upcoming Jonah Hex movie is underway, and AICN has posted some beautiful photos of Megan Fox on the set. She plays Leila, a gun-slinging “saloon girl” and Hex’s love interest.
Yowsers! Nice corset! Very nice.
Jonah Hex stars Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox and Will Arnett – and should be very, very awesome when it comes to theaters in 2010.
Eight officers in Scotland’s largest police force have come forward to claim that their official religion is “Jedi” and they actually use the force to fight crime.
Officer Pam Fleming recently admitted that she uses “Jedi mind tricks during interviews, but only to get the truth,” but “doesn’t use the force to influence what the suspects say.”
Well, that’s a relief. With great Jedi powers comes great responsibility, it’s so easy to turn to the dark side of the Force. Let’s hope they can resist temptation!
This is a great costume story – a couple in the UK recently got a married in Shrek costumes, to become Mr. and Mrs. Green! LOL, that is so awesome.
Christine England married Keith Green after spending three hours putting on the makeup. Many of their guests wore cosutmes, too. The couple hired a professional makeup artist, and they went all out with full wigs and costumes.
“Every girl wants a fairytale wedding and I got one – with a bit of a twist. It was a real laugh,” said the new Mrs. Green.
The second season of Chuck is just about over. In preparation of Monday night’s season finale, I want to celebrate with a special tribute to Adam Baldwin, my favorite actor on the show.
Adam Baldwin plays an hilariously ill-tempered NSA agent named John Casey. Casey’s job is to get Chuck in and out of trouble as the government uses Chuck for the secret intel in his brain. When Chuck goes on a mission, they frequently show John Casey in some silly disguise as he keeps an eye on Chuck.
I thought it would be fun to take a look at the best disguises worn by Adam Baldwin during the last two seasons of Chuck! He’s had to do so many funny things. If we see a good disguise during the finale, I’ll be sure to add it to this list. I should probably mention that I didn’t include the green Buy More shirt (shown above) in the list, since he wears that in almost every episode. So, without further ado…
The Top 10 Disguises Worn by Adam Baldwin on Chuck
#10 – Business Man (Ep. 215: Chuck Versus the Beefcake)
Here’s Adam Baldwin dressed up as a businessman. Admittedly, not much of a costume, but I do love his disguise: A coffee latte! LOL, without that he would totally get noticed. It’s all about your environment.
#9 – Cable Guy (Ep. 213: Chuck Versus the Suburbs)
When Chuck goes on a mission into the suburbs, Adam Baldwin lurks around as the local cable guy. A perfect cover! I love how he pops out the window and interrupts them. Chuck always seems so surprised when Casey shows up. Funny stuff!
#8 – Hospital Orderly (Ep. 213: Chuck Versus the Broken Heart)
Adam Baldwin would make a great hospital orderly. He mops the floor like a pro! So funny how Casey takes one for the team when the nurse says, “Room 806 didn’t make it to the toilet – ya mind?”
Adam Baldwin plays a bartender or waiter in several episodes. I chose this particular disguise because of the fun banter between Chuck and Casey. Once again, Chuck is surprised by Casey’s cover, but manages to maintain composure. “Uh, yeah. I’d like a martini, Barkeep – Shaken AND stirred.” And I love the look on Chuck’s face when Casey replies, “Would you like a cherry with that?” LOL!
Coming in at #6 we have Adam Baldwin as a plumber. He’s wearing a simple dirty jumpsuit, and the expression on his face is priceless.
And what’s in the bag he’s holding? Eww, we’re probably better off not knowing. I like how he calls his team a “bunch of nancies” when they complain about their filthy disguises.
#5 – Martial Arts Student (Ep. 209: Chuck Versus the Sensei)
Adam Balwin looks pretty awesome in this wig and groovy goatee. And while technically this isn’t a disguise for John Casey, but rather a flashback to his early years as a Chuck Norris look-alike, I still rank this outfit as a solid #5 for Adam Baldwin.
Ah, here we have the classic nerd disguise, and Adam Baldwin wears it well. With a plaid shirt and nerdy glasses (the straps are a nice touch), he fits right in with the computer expo crowd. I love how Chuck doesn’t notice them at first and has to do a double take (very well played by Zachary Levi).
LOL, this is one mean-looking bellhop. Poor Adam Baldwin! This disguise totally cracked me up.
I guess I should do research on fancy hotel traditions, but seriously – What’s with the outfit? And the hat?! It seems cruel to make bellhops dress this way.
Costume or no costume, this scene of Adam Baldwin as a DJ proves his character is the ultimate master of disguise. With just a microphone and his charisma, John Casey owns the place. I love the look on Chuck and Sarah’s faces as they watch him rock the house.
Since he’s not wearing much of a costume, I couldn’t give it number one. But it goes to show: The disguise doesn’t make you. YOU make the disguise.
Coming in at a solid #1 we have Adam Baldwin as a maître d’. He looks so funny in this wig, and the soul patch under his lip is a nice finishing touch. I remember bursting out laughing when I first saw this disguise.
I love how Chuck hands Casey a dollar and pats him on the cheek, saying, “Thank you, Jonathon.” Heh, you just know John Casey is steaming inside. Adam Baldwin and Zachary Levi really play off each other quite well.
Tune in for the exciting season finale of Chuck on Monday night! And keep your fingers crossed for a third season – NBC should be announcing their decision soon. This show really needs to stay on the air, for more Adam Baldwin disguises, if nothing else. *fingers crossed*
This photo didn’t exist anywhere on the Internet until late yesterday, when Costume Craze got their hands on the photo and posted it on their blog.
Wow, that’s quite a mask. And for $120 bucks, it better be!
For those of you not familiar with World of Warcraft, Illidan is a demon/Night elf hybrid Boss known as Lord of Outland and Master of the Black Temple. The good news is he CAN be killed if you know what you’re doing.
Well I’m very impressed! It’s worth mentioning that Costume Craze has a whole slew of video game character costumes that look awesome. They have a ton of Warcraft and Halo costumes, as well as Darkwatch and Mario Brothers. Fun stuff!
