YSaC, Vol. 492: A spidey-sense for snack foods.
Spider Man Suit — $78
Spiderman suit rarely used small rip by butt can hardly see when wearing xxx xxx xxxx Jason
I feel bad that I didn’t get around to posting this one in time for Halloween; I’m sure there would have been a huge demand for this. Of course, this is black-suit Spiderman, who we learned all about the last time I posted a Spiderman-related post. (Unless it’s Venom, in which case it’s not. Mind you, I have no idea what any of that means.)
Personally, I think this suit represents Spiderman after he’s lost his battle with his arch-nemesis, Doughnut Man, and his sidekick, DairyQueen Girl. And her sidekick, Doritos Boy. And his sidekick, Bacon the Dog. It was an epic battle, really, but Spiderman had no chance; all they had to do was put in one of the wall of VHS tapes behind Spidey and he was a goner.
Poor Spidey; I’m sure his web arteries are all clogged now.
Thanks for the ad, Cathy!
small rip in the butt? uh huh…a butt that size in an outfit that tight does not make a small rip.
I think s/he must buy into the “Mask Theory.” If they can’t see who you are…it’s ALL okay.
Rip in the butt? So what! No one knows who I am.
Size of a small European car? So what! No one knows who I am.
Dressing in things that are so inappropriate to my size that it boggles the mind? So what! No one knows who I am.
Post a picture of my European-car-sized self in skin-tight costume on internet for world to see? So what! No one knows who I am.
until they come round the house to pick it up that is
On the other hand, whoever buys this thing will be about the same size. Who wants a baggy Spider[hyphen]Man costume?
Exactly why I use my conure as my icon, being the size of TWO European cars. 8/ The YSaC shirts don’t come in that size. Hope that keeps me motivated on current walk more, eat more veggies routine.
There are coffee cups!
I don’t wear t-shirts much, so I’m thinking about one of those.
I was thinking the same thing Lola,
I don’t really need any more shirts, but you can never have too many coffee cups.
“I don’t really need any more shirts, but you can never have too many coffee cups.”
Can you explain that to my fiance? He seems to think the dozen coffee cups I have is more than enough and is trying to get me to get rid of some.
get rid of some? He’d freak out if he ever saw my kitchen then.
Let’s see, off the top of my head………..I have a set of 6 extra large Eeyore ones, a set of 6 standard sized Eeyore ones (I was having a phase), 12 black ones with white speckles (you need matching ones for guests after all) and 6 with assorted silly slogans, and that’s just in the one cupboard. I think there’s another 12 or so in the other cupboard, just random designs.
Oh and I’m the only living here that drinks coffee.
Thank you Dev! The dozen I mentioned were plain old coffee cups, including travel mugs and over sized mugs I have… well a lot. Like you, I too am the only one in the house (and of my friends) who drinks coffee (and tea), everyone else sticks to soda.
you could try this, tell him he’d have to do the dishes more often if you had less mugs. It’s worth a shot
I wish that would work, but unfortunately dishes and kitchen are my territory as I’m the one who cooks, bakes and all-around dirties the kitchen.
Oh dear Jami,
you have that all wrong you know. If you’re the one doing all the baking, cooking etc then the least he can do is the dishes.
I totally agree with dev…one cooks and bakes, the other cleans. Unless he’s cleaning the majority of the rest of the house, that’s how it should be!
On a side-note, I’m glad to hear there are coffee cups. I can probably be arsed to buy one of those when I have money again. I wear tees all the time, but those aren’t my style at all 🙁
standard sized mug, or large one if you prefer arallyn, and right now free shipping, well, till tomorrow.
I’m holding out for a calculator. 8) We have a crepe-load of coffee mugs and cups, even had to box some and put them in the garage to make room for new ones. Mickey Mouse, unicorns, bone china, etc. We only ever use two for coffee and two for tea. Starbucks had a double-wall hand-blown mug that keeps the coffee hot for ages. They are washed daily and reused the next day. So sun visor or lunch bag, but no coffee mug.
I would love to get the t-shirt design as an iron-on or applique and make one in my size. I do wear lots and lots of t-shirts.
I tried using the “I cook, there-fore I don’t clean” line, but no dice. So, I clean the kitchen and he does the living room and unloads/ puts away the dishes. For the rest of the house we split the cleaning but since he is unemployeed and I work a little he does a bit more cleaning.
I’m with Windrose on the transfers, I have an awesome purse that’s in need of a little spicing up.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. As stretched out as that suit gets when Tubby puts it on, I’m thinking the “small rip” quickly becomes the size of oh…the Grand Canyon.
Must.Remove.Eyes.AHHHH!
I don’t even want to know how the hole in the butt regioun got there, but my brain immediately goes to this guy scratching his hass way too much. Or maybe violet farts.
*accompanies you for eye removal of my own*
I think my eyes melted in self-defense.
sarajean, congrats on the commenting quote from yesterday. Best Unintended Pun ever!
Violet farts? Actually, that sounds lovely!
I just now saw that, too! I agree. Lavender would be even better.
Crap, I really need to learn to proof read these things before posting. It should say “violent,” as I’m sure you guessed. Also, “hass” should be ass, and that should be “region” in there too but I’m sure you knew that as well.
Violet Farts would be a pretty good band name.
Are the farts violet-scented (nice) or violet-colored (grody)?
+1 for use of “grody”! Val-speak flasback.
I was thinking both, color and scent.
Can hardly see, you say? His back side is one on a long list of things this guy probably can’t see.
1. to tie his shoes
2. the salad bar
3. …
:::sigh::: I wish I could say I was shocked by this, or even that I didn’t see this exact thing all the time. But alas, I am a comic book nerd, and as such I go to places that comic book nerds go…conventions. There you will see a vast expanse populated by not just by fans in black Spidey costumes, but all manner of comic, anime, cartoon, movie, and book inspired costumes.
The black Spidey costume is a very popular one, and two or three show up at every con. Here on the East coast, there is one particular guy that wants to get his money’s worth, and wears his costume to all the functions. He competed in a costume contest that they had in New York, and that is when we were all graced with the secret that explains Spider Man’s maneuverability: He goes commando under that suit.
Seeing a fat man in a Spider man suit is nothing compared to being 2 feet from, and slightly below, a man in a skin tight black Spider Man suit, junk outlined in such detail that you could count the hairs on his man melons. The glow of taint sweat was so much icing on the cake, as they say.
And I had the same thought you did, blake. “Uh…small tear in butt area, huh? And you can’t even see it, huh? NO KIDDING YOU CAN’T SEE IT. Doesn’t mean everyone ELSE can’t”.
“Seeing a fat man in a Spider man suit is nothing compared to being 2 feet from, and slightly below, a man in a skin tight black Spider Man suit, junk outlined in such detail that you could count the hairs on his man melons. The glow of taint sweat was so much icing on the cake, as they say.”
Thank you for that lovely discription. Who had the brain bleach the other day? I’m going to need to borrow some.
Thought that was exactly what we all needed on this lovely Saturday morning.
I’ll put it on to boil, and then we can each have a shower.
Wow, I know I got up late, but here I am wishing I’d never gotten out of bed in the first place …
I was thinking of going back to bed, but I’d probably have nightmares about this, so maybe that’s not a good plan either.
*joins the queue for the bleach*
On a side note, Meredith, have you ever been to San Diego Comic Con International? 8) We should compare con experiences some day.
I have yet to go to Sand Diego, but someday. When I was engaged a few years ago, I actually threw that out there as a honeymoon idea. My then fiance told me I was a nerd fantasy at that moment.
Be sure to let me know if you ever do! Would be fun to meet up for lunch or something. 2010 will be the first one I’ll have to miss in about 14 years. But the price is too high, and it’s too crowded to get to the panels I most want to see, etc. Heartbreaking, but I will read about it I am sure.
*shudders*
Thank you for that, Meredith. I haven’t even had breakfast yet. That story coupled with this picture =perfect diet plan.
*goes to stand in line for boiling bleach shower*
Are you sure this isn’t from the Enquirer?
SPIDER-MAN PREGGERS!
Vigilante seven months along!
Inside : Exclusive photos from prenatal exercise class!
lost_compass, you almost make up for Igor abandoning us!
Totally! Igor can SO be replaced! I <3 your comments lost_compass.
where exactly is Igor? I noticed he was absent, but I’ve been absent myself lately too so I didn’t think much of it till today
No offense to Igor, but lost_compass totally outclasses him snarkwise.
Yeah but Igor is cute…
He’s been off playing Assassin’s Creed II since it got released. Pretty much hasn’t been doing anything but that. Says he’ll be back, though…
ah, a game, that explains a lot. My hubby does that from time to time, although not to the exclusion of all else, just most other things.
As long as he’s alive, that’s what matters.
If I get books I’ve been waiting on, I’m incommunicado too. Different media, same response. Though I’m still likely to post from work if I have time for a break.
Aye, my significant other does that whenever a new game is out that he loves. He sort of “shoo”s me away and tells me to keep others out, too. The last one was Dragon Age: Origins, and I’m sure the next one will be Modern Warfare 2. I’m just happy that he didn’t have the money to buy it on release day, as he has a ton of huge assignments due soon.
It’s so tight you can see his skin color through the costume.
It’s so tight you can see the webby lines on the costume getting thicker where his gut stretches them.
Okay. Here’s where I unfurl my nerd-pedant flag.
I am stunned that someone who likes Spider-Man enough to dress up like him, in a costume that’s bound to be uncomfortable (full-head spandex mask? sausage-casing spandex top?), can’t fuckin’ spell Spider-Man’s name.
I give our llama a pass, because she doesn’t claim any affection for the ol’ wall-crawler. But “Spider Man”? “Spiderman”?? The hyphen key is right over there above the P, next to the zero.
I always write “Spider Man”. I now stand corrected.
Now I have to go back and look at Power Girl. You have me wondering if it’s “Powergirl” “Power-Girl” or “Power Girl”. I think it’s the third, but I’m having doubts.
Power Girl is two words; Superman and Batman are one word apiece; Donut-Guzzler is hyphenated.
Yeah, it’s just Spidey and Power Girl I get confused with. And Donut-Guzzler. Does he have a sidekick?
I love that you know all of this. <3
The sad thing is that my head is about twelve layers deep with this sort of stupid arcana. There are people who have it a lot worse than me, I guess, and at least my arcana don’t come solely from the traditional nerd media sources, but along with plot summaries of Shakespeare and other things that got into my head during the Ph.D., I also have the older and more fundamental-feeling data like superhero secret identities, dinosaur taxonomy, Greek myth details, and Star Trek plot summaries.
Yet, as my wife would hastily point out, I can’t remember stuff that happened to me a month ago.
According to Google it’s “Spiderman.” So it’s kind of understandable that people get confused.
You know, if we all just go with “Spidey”, we won’t have to worry about it. Plus, then it sounds like you’re good buddies with him, since you call him by his nickname, which can only make you sound cooler.
Really? Spider-Man is hyphenated? Huh. Who knew? (Well, apparently Isaac …) Sorry, I’ll try to get that one right next time.
I always think “Spiderman” looks like a surname, like “Goldman” or “Shimerman.”
I learned from some tv show that a lot of the writers of early superhero comics were jewish, and it’s been theorized that the jewish experience (of being different/misunderstood/persecuted) fueled a lot of the atmosphere and plotlines of those comics. So maybe the heroes were given those kinds of names in a tongue-in-cheek way. 😀
I would have never thought it was hyphenated. Then again I’m no English genius, and just go with whatever other people do. 😛
What confuses me is that a) that’s a man, b) he’s wearing a skin-tight Spider-Man costume while apparently going commando underneath, c) WHERE IS HIS JUNK?
“Small blessings” doesn’t quite express what I’m thinking.
Yeah, in this fellow’s case, isaac’s “sausage casing” apparently refers to a cocktail wiener.
Any chance that could be a pudgy woman, with a waistline larger than her bustline? It might explain the lack of junk … there. The stuff in the trunk (and the front of the car as well – what is this, a vintage Volkswagon?) is clearly accounted for.
My first thought before reading any comments was that it’s a “plump” woman. And then I see “call Jason” and I’m really confused.
Only a man would think taking a picture like that and posting it on the web would be okay.
I think strategic thigh placement coupled with the belly roll is hiding his Peter Parker. That or he has better Photoshop skills than the hypno-dogs.
“Only a man would think taking a picture like that and posting it on the web would be okay.”
Ever seen fetish pics for people who prefer large women? I mean, really, really, large women who make this guy look petite?
I’ve had the … unintended/accidental experience.
Though you’re likely correct, as the utter lack of self-awareness that posting this would take is more characteristic of men, in my experience.
I have a feeling he hasn’t Parked his Peter in a while.
best reply so far today Windrose 🙂
ha ha. Unlike the “real” Peter Parker…who is some kind of pimp right now in comics. I swear it’s like a season of Gossip Girl, with costumes.
Peter Parker picked a pack of Pabst and Pop-Tarts.
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. My makeup is running now.
Those aren’t books on the bookshelf, are they? Videos and DVDs, I suppose. Figures.
VHS tapes??? That’s not any self-respecting comic nerds collection.
Wait. “self-respecting” is an invalid phrase in this case, isn’t it?
I don’t know about that. I have several nerd friends who own many VHS tapes with original versions of movies that haven’t hit DVD. Like THIS lovely little gem, and THIS, and This
I have some friends who are also pretty good at magical things, like turning vhs tapes into dvds. I just rely on them.
I can’t seem to click on your link. Tell me it’s the original, never released version of The Fantastic Four.
Crap, stupid links…
No they were Ewok movies. The Ewok Adventures, Ewoks- Battle for Endor, and The Ewok Adventures Caravan of Courage. They also own them on DVD, but since the VHS are pretty much mint they are worth quite a bit.
EWOK MOVIES!!! I loved those movies. For years I thought I was the only one who remembered them, until I actually found people as off center as myself.
I remember them, but for some reason the thing that sticks out the most is Wilfred Brimley, and those movies are still the only thing I think about when he’s on the Liberty Medical commercials. That and oatmeal. Or was it cream of wheat?
Those movies were awesome. I wanted an Ewok for a friend when I was young, they were just so cute. Every time I make it back to my home town my friends and I try to get together and watch those movies. The last time we did I partook in the consumption of some very delicious brownies and it made the movie about a millon times better.
“Tell me it’s the original, never released version of The Fantastic Four.”
Meredith, my hubby has that, I found it for him on fleabay a couple of Christmases ago.
At first I thought he was standing in front of an open refrigerator.
My first thought?
(After, “Oh my goodness, my eyes are bleeding!”)
“Look. it’s Comic Book Guy!”
Worst. Cosplay. Ever.
10 points for using “cosplay” in a YSaC comment.
Is cosplay an unusual word in the real world? I think I might be hanging with the wrong crowd. As in, the geek crowd.
from the sound of things arallyn, I think several of us are.
Cosplay is Bill Cosby’s Coldplay cover band.
Awesome comment, Bianchi!
I believe the “Spider Man Suit” will be filed by those of us who have seen this photo against the person in the photo. “People permanently scarred by picture of gigantic black Spidey v. gigantic black Spidey.”
The plaintiffs will be represented by the law firm of Goldberg, Mueller, and Spiderman.
Dude. It’s totally Venom. Not black Spider-Man: Venom. If you’re going to wear the costume, please know who you are dressing up as.
Nope, it’s the black Spider-Man costume. Now, the costume was put on first when Venom was a part of it, as far as I know, but that’s not Venom itself.
Black Spidey: http://spideysalesense.com/images/black_spiderman_bust.jpg
Venom: http://www.figuresworld.net/comics/marvelicons/icons_venom.jpg
It’s the design of the spider on his chest and the eye holes that are different.
http://lolilovesvenom.livejournal.com/
Wish it were still an active web comic, it was so cute. Hope the creator gets the strips posted again.
I LOVE THIS. Now I’m off to show it to everyone I know.
sorry Karen, but I’d have to disagree on that one.
According to my thoroughly geeky hubby, that is not Venom, it’s a manufactured version of the black suit created solely for the film and as such bears no resemblance to the original Venom character design. This is Venom
Even in the film, which as I’ve said takes little account of canon (but then that’s nothing new in Hollywood), the symbiote is never referred to as Venom until it’s left Peter and taken over Eddie Brock. And even then I believe it’s only in the credits, not the actual dialogue.
ok, geek rant over.
OK, dev, I pretty much didn’t understand a word of that, but I am way impressed.
Thanks Cled, I think.
I do know a little about comics and films etc. but when in doubt on any subject even remotely geek-like, I always ask hubby. He has one of those brains that’s full of the the kind of information that’s useless in most everyday circumstances, but every now and then……….
All I heard was “blah, blah, blah, sometimes I make my hubby wear tights, blah.”
I’m crushing on your hubby now.
you sure?
He’s kinda cuddly, although not as bad as “that” above, and has long hair and a beard. In fact, picture your stereotypical Harley rider and you’ve got a good idea. He doesn’t ride, but he certainly looks like he should.
I almost thought you had married my husband’s long lost twin, but then I remembered he doesn’t have a twin. We met on-line on a BBS playing trivia every night. We took turns winning. It was love at first byte. Oh, we also love punning equally.
well unless they were separated at birth etc…….nope, as mine has no siblings at all. I’ll post a pic of him in the GTKY thread in the forums for anyone curious enough to want to see it.
sorry, link there didn’t work and I can’t seem to fix it, but here’s the URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Venomamazingspiderman299.png
weirdly it’s working now, oh well
Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can.
Spins a web, any size,
Black latex, bulging thighs,
Look out! Gigantic Spiderman.
Is he gross? Well guess what-
There’s a tiny hole near his butt.
Does the thought make you faint?
He’s like Chris Farley in body paint.
Hey there! Suit full of fat-guy sweat.
LOL I have a Spider-Plant that has been with me for decades. I call it Peter Parker, and always sing:
Spider-Plant, Spider-Plant,
Friendly, neighborhood Spider-Plant.
One of my former roommates was just asking me if I still had this plant. Yup.
Tiny hole near his butt was probably ‘ripped’ there from super toots. *snicker*
Has anyone told Macy’s that this guy stole one of their balloons and is selling it on craigslist? They’ll need it back by Thursday!
They’ll need it mended, too …
and scrubbed, and scrubbed, and scrubbed, and did I mention scrubbed?
Bleach-boiled, autoclaved, and irradiated, oh my!
And then scrubbed some more, to remove the taint taint.
Well, there’s that boiling bleach bath going that it could be dipped in.
I’d watch out for irradiating that thing. If comics have taught me anything, it’s that radiation bestows super-powers. And the last thing we need is a super-powerful Spidey-suit with a history of trauma.
No kidding isaac.
But on the other hand if it grew sentient, the suit probably would seek vengeance on that wearer…that guy is the Rack for that outfit. (Rack as medieval torture implement – just to make matters clear. 🙂 )
If the shoe was on the other foot, I’m pretty sure that Spidey suit would make sure to kick as twice as hard as the advertiser. The man might end up claustrophobic and having serious injury due to the constriction super strength of the suit, eh?
Okay, be right back, my imagination’s running off again!
Wow, that’s about 275 lbs. of flesh in a 100 lb. capacity costume.
I’ve been seeing this picture around the internet for a month or two at least. Makes me wonder if the picture came from this listing originally, or if this is a joke posting. If the latter, well, at least they didn’t use Man-Faye. (Google him if you dare.)
I Googled him and now that can never be unseen!
Well, at least Man-Faye is in shape.
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
I don’t care about the guy in the suit, but the original spiderman doll (or whatever it is) post is a classic. I laughed really hard when I read that post. Absolutely hilarious.
Keep up the great work!
How do you use your spidey stick to shoot your spidey goo? You can’t even see it under your spidey scrosis!
This ad is a fake 🙂 that picture has been going around the internetz for a very long time, someone must have posted the ad as a joke.
