Calendar Event Discussion / Re: Jim at Dragon*Con 2010
« on: April 23, 2010, 05:56:41 PM »
I've been to Dragon Con 1 or all days for 8 or 9 of the last 10 years. FYI to anyone new. It's grown each year. Last year it topped out at about 75k people. It is one of the few cons I've ever seen that is a true 24 hour con. There is stuff going on at all times. Every night there are parties. I personally drink more at D*C than should be humanly possible or safe. For those who like costuming and might be looking for a group, I recommend http://www.cosplay.com/forumdisplay.php?f=85. I was personally on the edge about D*C this year. Last year I spent way more than I should have. I drank more than I could handle. And I really didn't do much of anything Dragon Con related. But hearing that Jim will be there is going to get me there.

And to the girl that said she plans on going as Lara. If you have the body for it, please make sure to find me! ;)

I will not suggest that the new warden motto be "who watches the watchmen"

Nor I will not comment at the next White Council meeting "wizards should not be afraid of their White Council, the White Council should be afraid of their wizards".

I will not invite Alan Moore to any future White Council meetings to "knock some sense into them"

I will not nickname Cowl "Darth Hoodie".
- Nor will I call Ebenezar "Obi Wan McCoy"

I will not get Murphy to edit the wikipedia entry for "Wizard"
- Nor will I get her to create one for me and have it redirect to "Wizards"

Having Father Forthill hold of red court vampires with a cross, while I yell "Holy Icon, Batman," is acceptable, however.

But having him hold them off with a cross while yelling "YOU. SHALL NOT PASS!" is not ok.
-Nor may I do it brandishing my staff and Amoracchius.
-Though if I meet and actual Balrog I'm totally allowed to!

I will not brew love potions for Carlos

I will not brew speed potions for Carlos just to give myself an excuse to call him Speedy Gonzalez.
- He's more like Wile E Coyote anyway.

I will not ask the Archive to reenact scenes from Shirley Temple movies.

I will not walk around wearing sunglasses with a leash on Mouse and claim that he's my "seeing eye whooly mammoth".

I will not lobby the porn industry to come up with wizard proof internet porn.
- Or the computer industry.
- That's the LAST thing I need to allow Carlos access to.

I will not play Warren Zevon whenever I'm hanging out with the Alphas.
- unless we actually do go to London

I will not refer to any Outsiders I meet as Tim Curry's big brother.
- Transvestites either

I will not ask my new girlfriend what Abraham Lincoln was like
- She might actually have an answer that I don't wanna hear

When Molly is practicing veils I will not refer to her as Solid Snake and myself as Otacon.
- If anyone is Snake I am.
- And the Alphas new name is not Foxhound

I will not go to Renaissance Fairs with members of the Senior Council and bug them to point out how the real thing was different.

I will not pose for pictures with Bob behind me and me asking "Is it still there?"
- Nor will I start referring to Bob as the "Floating Glowskull of Mystery"

I will stop making phalic jokes using the term blasting rod.
- or staff

I will stop searching for the Ginger Bread House whenever I'm in the woods, not all fairy tales are based on real things.
- I hope.
- Though I think I already killed the Big Bad Wolf

I will not bug Mab to introduce me to Puck or Oberon.
- Titania either.
- They might actually be real, Shakespeare was probably a wizard.

I will stop acting out Hamlet in the park with Bob as Yurick.
- It scares the kids when Bob plays the part of Horatio though

I will not attempt to make a giant gloved green fist with my Soulfire.
- DC comics might sue me.

I will not try to convince people that Led Zeppelin was secretly members of the White Council trying to spread magical propaganda through songs about Hobbits.
- Nor will I create evokations that are Zeppelin song lyrics.
- Though yelling Ramble On in a high pitched voice while throwing a fireball would be pretty funny.

I will not tattoo runes onto my middle leg and start referring to it as "my blasting rod of love"

When playing D&D with the Alphas, I won't win arguments by casting Fuego on their character sheets.

I will not pen stories of my adventures and sell them to The Arcane.

Hell Yes I Will.  I dont need no stinkin' Warden Sword  ;D

Fine, we'll modify

I will not use soulfire to form a lightsaber and then tell my enemies if they strike me down that I shall become more powerful than they can possibly imagine.

I will not try to encourage a wizard menage a trois with Anastasia and Elaine
- Or with Molly
- I will not let Carlos encourage it either.

I will not use soufire to form a light saber.

I will not pen my own version of the Necrocomicon
- At least not a version that explains the Darkhallow

I will not give kinetic rings away to trick-or-treaters.
- Again...

I will not call Prince Charles to wield a sword of the cross
- Prince William either
- Prince Harry maybe. His name has a nice ring to it.

I will not set up a blind date between Ebenezar and Kincaid.

LOL!  ;D now there's a classic reference
I'm glad at least one person got it, I was afraid no one would and it would be WAY less funny.

I will not ask Dominoes if they deliver to the Nevernever
- Papa John's maybe

I will not loan Mouse to Michael VIck
-no matter how much money I'd make
-Billy either

I will not take Ramirez to Executive Priority Health with me next time I go.
-... without charging him a nominal fee.

I will not use Fuego to go fishing in Lake Michigan since they outlawed dynamite.

I will not rename the Blue Beetle to Herbie
- or Mach 5
- or Kit ... even if Bob provides the voice

I will stop insisting that D&D classes exist in the real world.
- and stop calling Michael a paladin
- ... and murphy a halfling
- and Robert Plant wasn't a Bard, so I'm not justified singing Led Zeppelin songs in battle to strengthen my party members

I will stop referring to Ramirez as Inigo Montoya.
- And Hendricks as Fezik
- And Muprhy smacked me when I last called her Buttercup.

No matter how I start dressing, I'm not Batman and Thomas is not my boy wonder.

I will not buy Billy a chew toy for his birthday.
-It was bad enough as a wedding present
