jack_babalonHey gang, notorious dead-beat and eclectic author, Jack Babalon here.
Got a moment? Cool, let's rap!
As some of you may already know, Labor Day is right around the corner and with it a little something we here on the World-Wide SuperInterWebs like to call the "Con"! For those of you not in the 'loop', the 'Con' is a fan-boy-tastic chance to make new friends, meet all your favorite sci-fi celebrities and have an out-of-this-world good time. However, while we all like to get a little crazy now and then, it's recently come to my attention that some of you kids have been getting their "freaky" on at the "Room Parties."
Out here on the 'Street' they're known by many names - 'Glory Worm Holes', 'Naughty Holodecks', 'The Hentai-lympics' and 'Lonely Raves.'
But it doesn't matter what you call these Temporary Anonymous Zones... because they're all a one way 'bad trip' to the 'dark side.' Many an earnest attendee has failed their 'save' against premarital sex, drug abuse, casual Satanism, Live Action Slash Fiction and the Con Crud (aka Dragon Flu, Sith-ylsis and William Shatner's Disease) at these geek orgies of shame.
Here now is a handy visual guide to help you avoid subcoming to the wanton influe of these 'wretched hives of scum and villainy.'
A 'Room Party' in theory:
A 'Room Party' in actuality:
So, think twice before you agree to that offer of bong hits with Jonathan Frakes* or indulging in a tantalizing, if possibly life changing, threesome with two drunken half-elves... the life you might not be changing could be your own!
* - Currently estimated by the CDC as the origin point for over 923 cases of the Con Crud across the greater metro Terminus area alone.

Going down the escalator? Don't touch the rail. Wanting to go through a door? Let someone open it or bump it open with my ass. I don't even press my own elevator buttons. Hugging happens when you are built like me, so that's unavoidable, but not touching anything (wearing gloves can make an exception if they are a non-porous material) has kept me con-crud free for about a decade now!
