Yeah, but I'm still trying to decide if that's a bug or a feature...



Bug or a Feature? This guy is GOLD. SOLID GOLD.

"I almost cried when Fark users didn't think my overweight self and camel toe weren't sexy, surely Jimmy Kimmel viewers will be more considerate."

At least the wedding dress guy was laughing with us, instead of being laughed at by us. Both are well past their 15 minutes.

/blah blah blah I too would get laughed at too if I posted myself in some rediculous garb... my solution is not to post said stuff.

Cool guy as far as I'm concerned.

According to his website his interests include:

Ham radio
licensed private pilot
NRA member
US Practical Shooting Association

He remembered his interest in ham radio, so how did he forget just plain old ham?

Gotta give Mr. Maynard credit, he's milking this for all it's worth. Also, for every internet 'star', there are no shortage of groupies, apparently.

From his feedback section:

then a 'squee!' of pure delight when it finally hit me.

Squee?

At least he has...errr...ballocks.

Sweater Girl

Yeah, Squee. You know, that little pirate from Peter Pan that talked funny. Photo anyone? Wait, better yet, a photoshop of laughing Squee clogging this dude in the head.

Also, for every internet 'star', there are no shortage of groupies...

The gene-pool surrenders...

stupid question

US Practical Shooting Association ?

I am picturing a Homer Simpson moment where he finds a practical use for his new gun and open a beer with it

Wasn't this the same guy that just shortly ago was whining about how people poking a bit of fun was oh-so horribly immature?
Yah, that'll go over well with Kimmel.
Hope for his sake he doesn't burst into tears on national TeeVee.

Thats Smee you fool!

"then a 'smee!' of pure delight when it finally hit me."

GAAAAAH! NOOOO! I'm so sorry. May Walt Disney rise from the grave and bludgeon me.

Let's all sit back and see how many farkers call this guy a loser, a nerd, a geek, etc.

We all know he is. He makes a costume that is pretty unique. People notice. He gets national fame. He's going to be on TV.

So, who are the farkers that call him a nerd? People stuck in dead-end jobs. People who never get noticed. People who smoke and drink too much. Kids who try to stand out by conforming.

My vote goes to Tron guy. Way to go dude. I own the DVD. I've looked at his plans. Hmmm... Halloween is how many months away?

He's on Kimmels list of guests. LOL

Monday Night

I've got my vomit bucket at the ready.

guytoronto

You are shiatting us, right ?... right ???

My TIVO hs set to record anything TRON, don't want to miss any bit of this guy's fifteen minutes of fame. Got to see the wedding dress guy on the Today Show.

What can I do for my 15 minutes? Besides go postal? I think glue and yarn maybe involved.

Yeah...."squee", the toddler who lives next door to Nny in the Johny the Homicidal Maniac comics. How's that for an obscure reference.

/nailbunny rocks

male camel toe...


...shudders

I don't think he is bashturn
Now put out that cig and hand me a beer, we've got to get you to the piercing parlor before your shift.

well, its not like he was going to get laid anyways.... besides, anyone with a lot of time on their hands can make a costume.... where's the lightcycle? Now that would be freaking impressive

micke's figuring that this signifies the end of his meme - since nobody watches the Kimmy Jimmel Show.

micke is out

Squee, from Jhonen Vasquez's comic book "Squee":

He owes some farker dinner for putting up his website and making him a byte of a celebrity.

The scary thing is that there are a lot of people like him out there.

I couldn't help but notice Ozzie was ogoing to be on the same night. Any conjectures as to what his reaction is going to be?

Aww yeah guytoronto, way to set the record straight.

As far as I'm concerned, alright, I'd fit in the spandex better, but I ain't on national TV, and probably won't be.

Jim Maynard rocks.

Squee?

*eyeroll* Squee is like a random ecstatic exclamation like "yay" or general high pitched excitedness. Often used in fangirl cirles.

Uhhhh, that's "going" and "Ozzy".

/Preview should be my friend ...

I think tron guy needs to realise that he isn't special, the only thing that differentiates him and a storm-trooper wannabe is that he took profile photos of his fat gut in a tight body suit!!!!111!!11!!!!

And tell me someone will be posting screen shots of this apres the show....

Is this one of those things that if you record it, the TiVo software will assume you're gay?

He owes some farker dinner for putting up his website and making him a byte of a celebrity.

Well, he put it up himself on /., which gets a few hits a day on its own.

Damn! Why can't I get Jimmy Kimmel in Atlanta?

Often used in fangirl cirles.

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up. I'll be sure to add it to my poster the next time Justin T. comes rolling through town.

I love the fact that the tron guy doesn't really give a crap what anyone else thinks, he's doing his own thing and having fun. And my guess is he's spending a lot more time in the heads of his 'detractors' than they're spending in his.

Which is just how it oughta be. Mheh. Go tron guy.

I hope Jimmy Kimmel mocks the guy mercilessly and makes the tron guy run from the stage crying like a frightened moose. That would be funny. ;)

Watchout Tron Guy

IT'S A TRAP

i think this guy deserves whatever he gets. it's all you ppl that have made him famous by bashing him. i think it's hilarious yet disturbing (the nuts man, the NUTS!). good for him and the wedding dress guy. it doesn't take much to be famous these days. glad it's not me, not that i have nuts, just the fame part.

Does he really have the balls (sorry) to do his own thing despite what anyone thinks, or is it just a naivete that comes from poor social skills?

From an article on Asperger's Syndrome:
"... Their naivete can cause them to be bullied and teased unless care is taken by assistants or buddies to integrate and help protect them. They can often focus on small details and fail to see the overall picture of what is happening in any situation."

MrNeutron: My eyes... the goggles do nothing!

uhh, wow

good ackbar usage, Mr Logo

Anyone look at those pics of him and immediately get transferred to that episode of king of the hill where hank is diagnosed with that condition where men get huge bellies and have no ass? This guy could sure use the same orthotic butt cheeks that were given to hank so he could sit on that bony rear end of his.

Oh, and I'm currently pouring bleach in my eyes after experiencing my first male camel toe.

PunchBuggy

I seriously doubt he has Asperger's after reading his journal. Having known someone with it, he's a lot more appropriate in his reactions to people. I think he just hadn't realized anyone outside of his personal circle of friends would even give a crap.

There's a certain amount of hubris involved in the opinion that "if he didn't want all this reaction he shouldn't have posted the pictures". Somehow, I seriously doubt he posted them specifically to attract the people who've said that. It's Not All About Them, you know?

While his 15 minutes of fame are winding down, I would like to thank his nut sack for getting him here to begin with.

he's got pretty well formed legs for such a fat belly.

With all the lame crap thats been happening lately, at least he did something to get his 15 minutes, unlike Tyler Crotty, whose fame came from being dumb and being caught on camera. My brother goes to school with him, hes not exactly the brightest bulb in the box. Tron guy seems as cool as anyone else willing to suit up in a tight white, camel toe showin' body suit. Go tron guy.

"It's great to see people taking cosplay seriously. :)"

And this sums up in a single sentence why the Internet should be closed.

Oh yeah?

He's on my IRC network.

Guy's farking insane.
