Pictured above is the <a href="http://www.thelastboss.com/post.phtml?pk=1470">winner</a> of a $1,000 costume contest at a posh night club -- creatively named, the <a href="http://www.posh-niteclub.com/">Posh Nite Club</a> -- in Akron, Ohio. His homemade Mjolnir armor -- God help you if you pronounce the "j" -- was complemented by a needler. Looks suspiciously like the one on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/02/22/halo-needler-rifle-ammo-for-sale-on-ebay/">eBay</a> a few months back. His creation won him 1,000 smackers (he won another $1,000 the next night with a Predator costume). The best part is that his winnings won him the adoration of all the ladies present. He even got one to wear his helmet. See the picture after the break.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/02/guy-in-spartan-suit-wins-2-000/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Guy in Spartan suit wins $2,000</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/02/guy-in-spartan-suit-wins-2-000/">Guy in Spartan suit wins $2,000</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 02 Nov 2006 16:00:00 EST.
