And people make fun of Trekkers, etc.....

EXACTLY. How is the above photo any different from dressing up like a Klingon? Or how is knowing what issue of Daredevil Bullseye killed Elektra any different from knowing the ERA of every Yankees pitcher? I tried to explain this to my otherwise extremely intelligent friend who's obsessed with the Philadelphia Eagles: You can name every player on the Eagles disabled list, what their injuries are, how they got hurt, and their projected date to return to the roster. You're a GEEK. A sports geek, but a geek nonetheless. "It's not the same," he said. Football is important." WHAT? "It's a multibillion dollar industry." Revolving around grown men getting paid exorbitant salaries to play a game. You just paid over 100 dollars for tickets to go hang out with a bunch of violently drunk Philadelphians wearing green clown wigs, and you call me childish for reading comics? Mister Pot, meet Mister Kettle.

You know, I hate sports too, but are we really so different, jocks and nerds? :^)

If that guy in the center's supposed to be the Joker, he failed miserably.

There's always those at the Con that go too far....

The one's that make you feel uncomfortable.

And I'm not talking about the ones who are over 15 and yet are there with their mothers because she wouldn't let them come by themselves...there or anywhere else.  You want to take the mothers out into the hallway, smack them around and scream at them, "What kind of life do you think this kid is going to have after you're dead?  Or are you so freaking selfish that you don't care that having him under your thumb all those years just so you won't have to be alone is going to ruin his chances for a normal life and relationship...."   Those guys you feel sympathy for.

But I digress.

At least when the jocks take off their shirts, they have to get out the paints before their stomachs start spelling things.

HAHA  I almost choked on my Cheerios over that.  My boyfriend is into college ball, he really hates the NFL commercialism.  Why does EVERYTHING need a sponsor?

"It's time for the Tostito's Game Break!  We're comin' to you live here in sunny Florida -(sun powered by Intel) where scoring could be at a stand still since both of these teams have the best defensive end in the league - (sponsored by AIG - for the best defense you need)"

Gah. They jam commercials into every teeny space.

I think it's safe to say that whatever any of them are supposed to be, they failed miserably.

Isn't he supposed to be the cartoon Beetlejuice?

C'mon.....the Batman costume is pretty good....and the Catwoman costume is the right fabric.

I used to make costumes for people back in the day.  The right fabric is two-thirds of the battle.

Anything really ticking you off right now? Wanna vent, but have no relevent thread in which to do so?

Why yes, as a matter of fact, there is something ticking me off right now: Sprint. The Cel Phone Company.

I used to have an account with them, but changed over to my parents' plan on TMobile. I was speaking with a Sprint representative to cancel the account, and she ASSURED me I was COMPLETELY up to date on my payments, and owed them NO MORE MONEY. However, I later received a bill for about $50, the normal cost for my monthly service. I called them up again, explaining that the last person I talked to ASSURED me I was COMPLETELY up to date, and owed NO MORE MONEY, so then the Sprint rep says ok, you can DISREGARD that bill. But now, Sprint says I owe them money for that last bill, and they have since added late fee after late fee, until now the bill is over $200!!! And they have also sent the bill to a collection agency. So now, I tell them over and over again my side of the story, and they say I still owe them money.

So F#*$ YOU SPRINT!!!!!!!

I'm in South Florida.  Last "horror host" we had was Rick Sanchez before he left for CNN and obscurity.

Or is that "horrible host"....
