it's called confunk. go to enough conventions/LAN parties and you begin to build an immunity. this is what happens when the socially inept nerds leave mom's basement for the first time in a month. in all honesty, i don't know if they can help it. all the cheetos and mountain dew sortof clog the pores after awhile.

i will give you this bit of advice. if you find the confunk to be nasty...stay away from the punks in Towson. that's a funk that NEVER gets out of your nose.

you missed the Foamy "con rules" from last year, i suppose...but that sounded so much like a rant from the likes of Foamy that i'd half say you have the same amount of pent up anger that the little squirrel harbors.

...though, i wonder...if you know there's a confunk, and you can't stand it, why go? it won't get any better...

It wasn't so bad as to make me not interested in going again, it really wasn't that serious...

It was just a choice few people that decided to part ways with their bars of soap for the weekend that made it slightly unplesant...

Next up would be the rabid fangirls, followed by people that should have worn more clothing then their body type allowed, finished up by the socially inept ones that walk up, say "hi" and stare, then walk away....

how many sign-based Glomp requests were there this year?

...the first year i went, i came across a dude who asked to be glomped. i don't think he expected me to actually fulfill his request... *coughs* he put his sign away after that.

Many.... Oh, there were many....

Actually, there were just as many "Glomp me and you die" shirts to accompany those requests....

And then there was something about worshipping a shoe blessed by Otakon Jesus, who mind you was there dressed up in pose from "Dogma".... Even funnier, he chose to interrupt the "Hellsing cosplay" photoshoot to make his entrance....

Like I said, con people are wierd....

BTW:

Teh Band of 7




"Shirt Ninja DAK" in meditation mode:




Fangirls love teh 7 club ninjas:




And if you must ask why I was dressed as such, it was a parody on bad ninja costumes gone horribly wrong... I took a long sleeved shirt and wrapped it around in ninja fashion, then topped it off with my Naruto forehead protector and my "J00 D34D F00" shirt from Megatokyo....

Instead of being looked down on like I intended, I actually was involved in lots of photoshoots and people yelled "NINJA!!! WOOT!!!" at me when I walked by....

congoers are strange. my mom works 2 blocks north of the convention center, and claimed she couldn't see why these kids run around in such strange costumes. i think she's happy i never went in the succubus costume from halloween.

it's not the fact that it smells, but i stand next to people in the elavator in the hotel and i just smell FUNK. i mean BO, and feet.

i just have no desire to go anymore, it gets expensive, all of the **** you find in the dealers room you can find on ebay or anywhere online for that matter. it just seems silly for me to go anymore.

i like katsucon alot more anyhow, I have a better time there, the atmosphere is not as bad, plus it is cold, so people don't sweat as much thus venting more body odor.

I'd go, but I'm over my allotted 2 cons by 1 con.
Usually I skip out on Otakon.

yep .. like RaverFunk or RaveFunk.. ConFunk .. is along the same lines. Except you or the people around did not obtain said funk by dancing all night long next to some hottie (either way you look at it) with good music.

ConFunk is definitely not ok. Soap and water - bathing is a good thing. ConFunk .. is a bad thing.

Now you know ... and knowing is half the battle.

YOOOOOO JOE.
