The Gallery of Super-Dudes . . .

Every summer Metropolis, IL holds their annual Superman Festival. Celebrity guests show up, sign autographs and pose for photos, fan events are held, super-hero-themed vehicles are on display, the Superman Museum is open to visit… and there’s always a few people dressed as the Man of Steel himself. These enigmatic men are the stuff of legend, referred to affectionately as the “Super-Dudes.”

Yep . . . and if I was there, there’d be one more bearded fat guy walkin’ around in a super guy outfit . . . see here, here and here. I may not be able to leap over small buildings in any number of bounds, but I can stop a speeding snail. Dressing up like a fool and enjoying oneself . . . ah, that’s the life.
