Last night outside the Flamingo: an apparently homeless man being handcuffed by two cops, filmed by a TV cameraman about two feet away with another guy holding a boom mike over the arrest, while three guys walked by singing the theme song to Cops. Pop quiz: who should be most ashamed of themselves?

I wish I could say this is the strangest thing I’ve seen this week. The exposed belly is real, but the underarm hair is part of the costume. |
Spotted near MGM Grand: fat Batman. A block later: fat Spider-Man. Guys, I’ve got no problem if you want to play dress-up, but perhaps the form-fitting suits aren’t quite the costumes you should be wearing.
Also near MGM: dwarf Elvis. Next block: the saddest 5’9″ Yoda I’ve ever seen, carrying that well-known Jedi accoutrement, the crystal scepter. Perhaps you two should switch jobs?

Chewie is working with the Imperials? Which side is Elvis on? (It’s hard to tell from the pic, but that’s a black TIE fighter pilot from the original Star Wars on the right.) |

Saddest. Costume. Ever. |




What’s funny to me is…
one of Elvis’ backup groups was named The Imperials (1969-’72).
