<-- Closet 1st ed AD&D player, now more like once every few years with old friends.  

Gary Gygax is a gun nut and libertarian, swear to dog. Take a look via google and you'll find some of his posts (as "Col. Pladoh") on Dragonsfoot and some other 1st Ed. AD&D sites.

If you know who EGG is, you're a geek too.

Where did you get that picture?  I've been looking for good Ogre pictures for a while.  

For occasions like this.  hr
google images, keywords were ogre and nerds.

Somebody throw a compact and some lipstick at that chick.  It wouldn't kill her, might even make her midlingly pretty.

Dressing like a hobag do not make you pretty.  Nor does it make a woman BOTD material.  +1 point for actually seeing the sun enough to get a bikini line.  Better than can be said for 90% of con attendees.

Mother's disused '87 Aerostar minivan is not a Ferrarri.  Not even close.

Writing "4RE" on the back window through the primary layers of dust and grime, though comical, does not disabuse the unnerd herd of this fact.



My, you are a bitter one.  Did you lose a girlfriend to a nerd in high school or something?

No.  I used to be one of them.  I grew up and realized how worthy of redicule these people are if they don't give it up after college, at the latest.

And before "airsoft recovery" gets dragged into this.  Adolescent airsofters pointing toy guns at eachother ain't got shit on Chancellor Dorkcon here.



Besides.  I'm having fun.

The nice thing about fandom for females is that if you weigh less than 200 pounds and understand basic hygiene, you'll be the cream of the crop.

The nice thing about fandom for guys is that if you don't live in your mothers basement, bathe regularly and wear something other than a stained t-shirt with a trek slogan or a 'tard costume, you can pluck those relative hotties off the vine with little problem.

Its been on my list of things to do, but I won't be going dressed up as anything.


Now that I think about it, I could do the photographer routine as well.  The ensuing stupid-acts-of-gamers would make the trip more than worth it.

Heh...

I know three of the people in those photos! (My cousin, a former boss and a former classmate) The really weird part about that is; I'm absolutely certain that they don't know each other and their photos are all posted on some guy’s page that I don't know.

Man, talk about a "six degrees of separation" moment.

...somewhat dismayed that it took a D&D convention to bring them together... I'm not that geeky... REALLY DAMN IT!!!!1!

All I can think of is that SNL routine with William Shatner screaming at all the Trekkie nerds.

"Have any of you been out on a date with a girl?  When I was your age I was out doing things, experiencing life's challenges, it's time for you to move out of your mother's basement, it's only a TV show - GET A LIFE!"

Ferrari's....riiiigght.

Jeeze where's Clyde Caldwell's model/wife when you need her, she's fit FFS!

I dont think GenCon is the height (/depth) of Geekery, surely a Trek Convention would be worse, or a convention for an even less well-known sci-fi show?

well from what I heard, Dranoel musta missed alotta BOTD there....

notably LOTS of chainmail bikinis with no linings (ouch) were to be seen.  You gotta remember kids go too.

I went last year to see what was up.  Met some good autograph guests
(the old buck rogers and wilma deering...she was hot in her day..skin tight outfit)...picked up a few dvds with them signing it.  Saw David Carradine (grasshopper...kung fu ..you know) and some other hot chick guests plus some of the old Star Trek cast.  I love to get autographs so it was worth it for me.  Some really friendly celebrities out there once they have to do the Con circuit.

Guy that works for me goes every year as his ONLY vacation....I would say its fun to go just for the people watching (better than going to the state fair).

Funniest story I heard from the con this year was:

Big, heavy guy walking out of the con with  LARGE plastic bag...which broke as he neared the entrance...spilling out TONS of PORN mags & dvds.  The guy got frantic and was trying to cover them up and hastily get them back into another bag or get them hid as some people were stopping to take pictures....funny as crap my firend said as this guy was all worried people would see it.  My other friend said "hell, he'd be posing on top of it..proud of his stash"

one of our liquor reps is a former playmate.  a couple of weeks ago, she had a promotion at quakecon.  when i asked her how it went, she replied "i didn't think those kinds of geeks really existed--they were like caracatures of nerds from sitcoms."

she went on to say that, by the 2nd day, if a guy had just come up and started making conversation, instead of drooling or overtly hitting on her, she would have probably slept with him out of gratitude.
