Just one more thing for you Con-goers to rub in our faces. Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
No fast one, Dana took that picture Saturday in the Hospitality Suite at KamaCon.
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
Hey, don't point fingers at me! The picture is real! And it's from KamaCon! And Dana took it.
I just gave it slightly better showcase.

Wha....?? What the?? Um, I was there and heard no rumor of this??

Was that when I had dinner with my relatives on Sunday?

Teleperion, you were very much there... you didn't notice our guest?!

If I was in the same room I was oblivious! I heard no announcement or people saying "dude, it's HIM!".

Bad sndrake! *spank*
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
AJ,
It's obvious that Telperion somehow did miss our surprise guest.
The only other explanation would be that he was too shy to introduce himself. Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
How come I'm picturing a life size "Card"-Board cutout for picture taking purposes?

Uh, nobody will see me in anything like that anytime soon, if for no other reason than my set of measurements fall outside of the "profitable to mass-produce" category.
And don't get me started on "one size fits all."
I already asked Bob about studies regarding neck injuries in short people from those "safety devices" in cars called "shoulder harnesses."
BTW, you should know that Mack's definition of "short" says that you're a tall person.
Betcha didn't know that. Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
You know, CT, I found that the tactic you're talking about is a big one used by trolls. You may recall a recent troll who had a knack for implying an insult, and then trying to cover it up by saying that the only harm done was what you perceived in your own mind.
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
I was actually wondering given CT's picture, if a certain jatraquero that was present at KamaCon, does underwear modeling in his spare time, and how CT knows about it...

I tried to get someone to take a picture of the Surprise Guest signing a book, but evidently I'm the only one who is quite that nasty.

This is why I quit posting here. My only mistake was to think the outright hostility would be dropped if I only lurked. Simply amazing.
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
Oh, CT, after reading this thread again I caught the "feel" behind it and realized that everyone is implying things, but I wasn't doing that. I was just talking about the troll and didn't want to say a name, but only because I thought it was too rude. I wasn't playing the game, really.
Ha ha, Justa. There are plenty of trolls who fit that description, I promise.

You apparently are one of them. Insulting people when they aren't looking is no better than what you accused me of, even though I wasn't doing it in the first place.
CT, I wasn't taking you as thinking so. PSI seems to be holding a grudge.

The Surprise Guest was not CT's ex-husband. He was not disingenuous, either. Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
Nor was he a cardboard cutout or a photo of a photo. He played Fluxx and Chrononaunts with us.
Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :
Hey, I played Cranium with that dude! He can hum very well, and is also talented at charades.

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
He also worked very hard at trying to learn people's names. He made a point of saying how much he appreciated us all here at Hatrack. Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
Is it supposed to be somebody who looks like OSC? To me he's nothing like him. I guess that's why I didn't get the joke, huh? Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
Anne Kate how many times have you met OSC in person?
AJ
Posted by NdRa (Member # 2295) on :
I have met OSC in person several times, and I can honestly say that looks nothing like him. He could be his brother though.
Good one guys. I did a major double-take at first.

It's actually a pretty bad picture. In person, he looked a lot more like OSC. A lot.
Posted by Lime (Member # 1707) on :
Yes he does... I managed to not double-take, but I did blink for about 7-odd seconds.
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
Phfffft. Like a hotel employee would have time to sit around and play games with us all afternoon.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Nope, definitely not a hotel employee. While they were all amazingly nice and helpful, they didn't play card games with us.
Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
OK, I thought it was a very good picture.
His face was a bit round and his body frame was different, but since the OSC pictures I've seen are not recent ones, I might assume OSC just put on a little extra fluffiness on the edges.

Then we have to meet, if only to create an unholy union of our practical joke instinct.
I'd have had him sign the book, then posted the signature at the end of the thread when I was tired of pulling everyone's strings.
Not that I thought it was OSC for a second. Because then I'd have had to kill you all, and I don't have time for that today.

Hey, Dag - it's just one more reason we have to meet one of these days.
We could have met this time if you hadn't bowed out over some flimsy excuse about a wedding or something similarly unconvincing. Posted by SoberTillNoon (Member # 6170) on :
Okay, this has all gotten me confused (which is actually not that hard to do). Was Card there or not? In person where people could speak to him. Please someone clear this up for me.

Hey, I was there and saw the suprise guest as well. I wasn't sure if he resembled OSC that much but everyone assured me that he did. He did seem to enjoy himself and I'm quite certain that he was not an employee of the hotel. Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
He did have an annoying habit of talking about himself in the third person. We are not amused!
Well...okay, really, we are amused.

CT, I heard the surprise guest lament that you weren't there. Apparently he would have liked to converse with you.

Enough with the Pheasantries.

Noemon, I'm not related to OSC in any way that I'm aware of. My father has hinted that I may have a half brother somewhere in Japan but that's not gonna answer your question.
I want to revisit the comment by CT that highlighted the gray in the beard of the mystery guest. I'm guessing that My Grecian formula would help cover that up.
