  9. TRON Costume? by JustinXB · · Score: 2, Funny

    An essay on TRON Costume

    To delve deeply into TRON Costume is an exciting adventure. The constantly changing fashionable take on TRON Costume demonstrates the depth of the subject. Though TRON Costume is a favourite topic of discussion amongst monarchs, presidents and dictators, its influence on western cinema has not been given proper recognition. It still has the power to shock the aristocracy, who form the last great hope for our civilzation. Keeping all of this in mind, in this essay I will examine the major issues.

    Social Factors

    Society begins and ends with TRON Costume. When blues legend 'Bare Foot D' remarked 'awooooh eeee only my dawg understands me' he was clearly refering to the impact of TRON Costume on today's society. While deviating from the norm will always cause unrest amongst ones peers, TRON Costume provides standards by which we may judge our selves.

    Nothing represents every day life better than TRON Costume, and I mean nothing. It breaks the mould, shattering man's misunderstanding of man.

    Economic Factors

    Is unemployment inherently bad for an economy? Yes. We will begin by looking at the JTB-Guide-Dog model using the median instead of the mean, where possible.

    Indisputably there is a link. How can this be explained? Well the cost of living has always depended upon TRON Costume to a certain extent, but now more that ever. In the light of this free trade must be examined.

    Political Factors

    Much of the writings of historians display the conquests of the most powerful nations over less powerful ones. Comparing TRON Costume and much of what has been written of it can be like comparing the vote of the man in the street with that of one more accustomed to TRON Costume.

    One quote comes instantly to mind when examining this topic. I mean of course the words of style icon Demetrius Woodpecker 'Taking a walk across hot coals will inevitably hurt your feet.' What a fantastic quote. It is a well known 'secret' that what prompted many politicians to first strive for power was TRON Costume.
    The question which we must each ask ourselves is, will we allow TRON Costume to win our vote?

    Conclusion

    In my opinion TRON Costume plays a large part in the lives of all. It fills a hole, 'literally' plants seeds for harvest, and figures show it's a winning formular.

    The final say goes to the award winning Uma Zeta-Jones 'My Daddy loved TRON Costume and his Daddy loved TRON Costume.'

    Maybe somebody can clarify for me, but aren't the costumes in Tron just shoulder pads and 80's style hockey helmets with some weird effects and stylings? They sure do look like it when I caught it on TV the other day.

    I used to think they looked pretty cool until I realized that. Now it's just kind of funny. It makes you realize that it's really just a bunch of fully grown adults running around a soundstage pretending to be IN TEH COMPUTAR.

    Still a good movie though.
