    It's not too sad since he recognizes that it is only a costume (he makes lots of them, based on his website). If, on the other hand, this guy was really into Mechs and not really into costumes, then I'd say it is really sad. (At first, I thought he was really into mechs and was trying to build one.) It's still a little strange to be so into costumes. ------------------------------------------ They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin In an encampment expecting daily attack from a powerful enemy, self-preservation is paramount to all law. - Thomas Jefferson

            Yeah, in the same way that a movie can be really crappy, yet you'll watch it over and over, because somehow the crappyness wraps around and makes it good again -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                            I'm from Tampa the same area as this "Peter Pan". He's been on the local news, and he's often seen at large events here. I vaguely remember seeing him out at a bar once a few years ago. A very strange fella indeed. Joan
