If I had a TARDIS, I'd go back and make myself ask you to dinner. Temporal paradoxes be damned.

You were Princess Leia. I was the jibbering slug-creature from Darkon-9 expelling gastric juices all over your metal pants. I was not in costume, just liquored up. You put your cigarette out in my g&t. I think this was some kind of message.

The "intergalactic swinger party" listing might be one of the best things I have ever read.

An alien, a predator and a marine walk into a swinger's party. The host says "Hey, you two!"

Costume options if you go to the swingers party as an Alien: huge queen or non-reproductive drone.

I DJ'd at Otakon a couple of months ago, and I started reading the messageboard. There seemed to be two main topics of conversation:

1) I can't get a date with a cosplay girl.

2) People at Otakon smell bad.

I think the two topics were related.

No, it's sweet and touching and funny because they're being human.

I went to Dragon*Con with my best friend. Wrangled her outfit, which got me backstage at the main costume contest - amazing work there.

Met the guy who did the Big Daddy costume with the functioning drill last year. I guess he sold it to some crazy rich dude in Shanghai, and the shipping alone was $2600. This year, he had a Daft punk costume with working lit helmet programmed in Arduino and custom gold plated gloves. I also found out that, "You can get a double breasted red suit in any size you want. Apparently, they are a Thing."

(My friend and I also had an enormous fight the next day and are not, presently, speaking, but it was still... eh, who am I kidding? Of all the FPPs to get all upset by...)

Hello, Spaceman. I saw you at ConventioCon '10 and would love to reconnect with you! How about some space-sex?

Nice try, Zarflax!

For those of us who watched wrestling on British TV in the 1980s, I suspect that this is not the Big Daddy that is being talked about.

You - WOW blond wizard. Me - ancient wizard. You were pressing awfully hard into me during our photo. Just wondering if there was a lingering interest. Put your robe color in Subject Line of first email.


Wait, are robe color codes a thing now? My Gods, this explains all the questions I get when I wear my many robes.

Mod note: A few comments removed. Having one noun in common with the ostensible subject of the post does not make a five paragraph spiel about an unrelated subject somehow on-topic.

Oh god, now I have to inform you that you should have aimed for the mouth. a joke that probably makes me terrible but cannot be resisted because the set-up is there.

GET OUT OF YOUR PANTS!
posted by longbaugh at 7:28 AM on September 9, 2010


I went. Had a great time except for two things---geeks who are even more awkward, semi serial killer-ish when they're drunk and local frat guys who are not geeks who are drunk.

Someone came up to my friend, who he thought was Cruella DeVille (when she was actually GaGa), and his pickup line was:

"so how does it feel to murder puppies?"

Yea. That's really going to get you places.

NEXT!

The frat guys pick up line:

"Hiiiiiiiii (falling over our table). Man, you're gorgeous. Here, lemme say, here is me and my friend. We're just cleaning up zombie blood (shows us bucket of slop), and yea...so can I get a picture of you? Ohhh dude, look at this. Woooooo". And then leaves.

NEXT!

Sometimes Craig's list is better than an in-person hookup. At least you don't get the drunk breath and the woooooo.

I had a metafilter missed connection the other day. I was in a class (that I've since dropped) and we all had to share a web resource that we use. Someone in front of me used ask.metafilter. I considered going up to her at the break and trying to make site-based conversation, but I dismissed it as creepy.

Dillon: Make it easy on yourself, Dutch......OK, OK, OK!

Dutch: Bleed, bastard.

There's always one guy who just covers himself with mud to make himself invisible to heat vision and then just hides in the corner.

Well, at least conventionss like that would have less full-face masks going on. I don't know how people can flirt without at least making eye contact. Looking your way, Anthrocon...
