Halloween Costumes for Nerdy Characters: And the Winners Are…

?Because of some personal shenanigans, I’m posting the Halloween contest results, and then I’m done for the day. Things should be back to normal tomorrow. My apologies; I can only hope Serenity-Corgi somehow makes up for it. HMs and winners after the jump. (Via Warming Glow)

And now for the Winners!

Dottiemeister:

Oz from Buffy, Professor Lupin from Harry Potter, and George from Being Human–Three Wolf Moon T-shirt

Dottie here had several entries, but she unfortunately blew them all out of the water with this one. Dear nerd shirt companies — make this into a real t-shirt, and watch the money roll in. Meanwhile, Dottie gets a TR shirt for her brilliant idea.

Ricky Namara:

Bran Stark as Oracle/Barbara Gordon and Jaime Lannister as The Joker.

I’m delighted to announce that long-time Topless Roboteer Ricky Namara has finally wone his first t-shirt for a Halloween idea as hilarious as it is cruel and inappropriate, and holy shit is it cruel and inappropriate. I would expect nothing else of the oft-suiciding Ricky.

Batbecca:

DCnU Starfire dressed as the “Easy” Button from the Staples commercials.

If I may comment on this entry in a word, that word would be “AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.”

Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who entered. This was such a good time I think I’ll be making this the annual TR Halloween Contest, assuming I remember next year. Make sure to stop by this weekend, because I’m 99% TR will be doing its biggest contest ever; and again, TR should be back to normal coverage tomorrow.
