The Useless East Canada thread!

Opinions needed.
I don't know if I have the ***** to wear my costume, and I'm looking for some advice.
I bought a little kids frog costume. It's soft and plushy and has googley eyes.
I thought it would be hilarious if I wore it. unfortunately there was no way I could fit into it in one piece.
So I cut it in half at the waist. The pants stretch over my legs just barely, and the little frog feet stop at my knees. The pants won't quite cover my whole ***. the top barely goes over my shoulders, and the hood with the frog face barely stretches over my head. I was going to wear some Black Nike Fit stuff underneath so my body parts aren't exposed, but it's still pretty innappropriate how much I bust out of this costume.
Question is, funny? or stupid and embarrassing for no reason?

sounds uncomfortable - perhaps you should make it more of a He-Man or Incredible Hulk costume

Hmmm.. I'd do it. My costume is really easy, and I think it's funny too. I'm gonna wear a suit, bluetooth earpiece and a cardboard sign like hobos have that says "Will manage hedge funds for food"

basically it came down to two things:
the good FRP (not the thick replica stuff) is strong and holds its shape, and is fixable should it crack. My current bumper is FRP and i've scraped it plenty of times, and i checked it on a lift recently, and there's no damage other than the paint getting scraped off.
urathane is "durable" in the sense that if you hit it, it flexes so you can push it back out. Because of this property, it comes with the down side that it won't hold its shape, and eventually sag. and if you damage a urathane bumper, to my knowledge you can't really fix it.
not sure about the G's, but the Z33 bumpers are made of ABS plastic as far as i know.

You may want to check into that... here's what the description of the part
"Made out of a flexible molded urethane that is the same material used in the manufacture of genuine Nissan bumpers.
These are not the less durable FRP (or fiberglass) that others use. Nismo aero designers finesse the fit and finish to ensure that each Nismo component attaches securely and fits precisely, with no gaps, sags or owner modifications required to achieve an OE-quality fitment. Temperature tested from -38F to 176F (-40C to 80C) to resist warping & deflection."
don't take offense to the "played out" statement. The Nismo V2 bumper is one of my favorites... it was a harmless comment back at GISS

^Interesting.. I was always under the impression that our OEM FB was ABS plastic...
I would like to add that after examining Japanese FRP (cedric's v2 front.) it does seem to be stronger and much more flexible in comparison to USDM products.
