No really — this fan likes to ride the tube in full alien costume. Check out this vid from the BBC — I love his matter-of-fact description of how he "can't go to toilet" in his costume. [BBC]

this reminds me of the time I got dressed up as Spock and went to the Renaissance Festival..I had to beat of the wenches with my tricorder.
@knots:
Every year at MDRF, we have the 501st show up in all their gear for "the day of wrong".
It was the coolest thing to hang out at the pub with an equal mix of rogues, wenches, stormtroopers and Mandalorians.
I like how he says the alien is cuter than he is . . . I was like, "awwwww, cute sysadmin alien cosplayer!"
@Miranda Kali:
I actually thought of going as Mara Jade last year but figured the costume would be what? Skimpy top, leggings, boots, and a cloak. But for the light saber, I didn't think anyone would notice anything strange.
Great costume, but insufficiently drooly to be a proper Alien.
Perhaps somehow redirecting the sweat out through the mouth region would work? The stench would be terrifying!
Listening to him talk, it's like the polymorph from Family Guy "I like to eat you with my little mouth too" but in Britspeak.
He needs a Predator roommate and a date with a Barbie.

"Great costume, but insufficiently drooly to be a proper Alien."
Abe does use Alien spoo/drool on proper public appearances, just not on the Underground, so rest assured he's very drooly. :-)
