Shortpacked's Botcon edition

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I love that comic! This was one of my favorite moments at Botcon this year:

The creator of Shortpacked was cool enough to pose for a pic with yours truly.

Thanks. The entire weekend, I only had one person give me grief over it. I was eating with the Seibertron.com people as well as couple other guys from Bottalk and this guy walks over to the table we're sitting it. He just stares for a second then snaps a picture. We're wondering what's going on. He stares for another second and says, "I just wanted to get a picture of the stupidest ******* hat I've ever seen." Then he walked back to his table. We all just looked at each other. The first one to speak up was Dragonclaw (from Bottalk) who said, "Wow. That was...random." I couldn't have agreed more.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that.

Also: You wear your hats and caps and such in-doors Smooth?? :eek:

I have this tremendous urge to spring-dive off that sucker.

It also reminds me of a hat Daffy Duck once wore in a cartoon.

No doubt convulsing and writhing in the sarcastic mock-agony as a result of not actually been offended by Mr Random Comment. ;)

Smooth, you can come to any of my parties. For ever.

Just don't expect to be the most extravagantly-dressed male there.

I have lots of hats. And a manskirt.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Later that evening, on the way back from the TFTM screening, a bunch of ladies stopped me outside a bar so they could have their pictures taken with me. Of course, I obliged them. Mr. Random Comment may have been spot on about it being a stupid hat, but don't tell the Kentucky women that. ;)

It is a bit worrying, isn't it?

In the presence of Smooth? surely it's not the first time that's happened? ;)
