It's OK dude. If they didn't, Thailand's lack of ladyboys would slow their tourism industry to nearly nothing.

back on topic:

Ugh, spidey's really let himself go.

I'M NOT FAT. I'M BIG BONED. THAT'S EXTRA ARMOR. NO FAT AT ALL AND BMI IS HORRIBLY UNFAIR BECAUSE (and i'm going to ignore my crippling obesity) I COULD HAVE LOTS OF MUSCLE. LIKE BODYBUILDERS AND WRESTLERS.

**Orkeosaurus**

Does the emo spiderman eat to get rid of the pain?

**stonefox**

It's a horrible cycle.

**Saldiven**

OMG.

I had to absolutely stifle my laughter so I don't get fired from my job at a BANK!

Actually, I think I went to school with some of those people...and I guarantee some of them hang out at the FLGS....

You do get the occasional jerk who's far too into it, but you get that in wargaming, too, and they're less common than TFG. Alot of them are wargamers as well, anyway.

I think that's what did it for me. Friend of mine would NOT SHUT UP about Vampire. I've never owned a book, never played a game, but I'll bet I could be one of the top storytellers w/o even trying. BLAH!!! Where is the mental clorox!

To wit...

We have met the enemy and it is us?

And some Star Wars ones...

No doubt many will like the selection of fangirls in Leia's bikini

Actually, I have to say that the young lady on the first link in the Rikku (from FFX & FFX-2 games) costume was exquisite.

For some reason, around here, it's only fat chicks that think they look good in about 12 square inches of fabric....

I spend my evenings at the gym or fencing.

Glad to see you are keeping the homoerotic lines open.. fencing = men poking other men with their pokers. and men at the gym, yep, more homerotic overtones.. lol..

don't play warhammer anymore, but keeping the spzmarineshuur alive.. wooooot!!

**Orkeosaurus**

On a side note,

Have you ever been chased by the entire JV football team, just because you chose to wear your cloak to school that day?

I also have a framed poster-size photograph of a wet, nearly-naked, absolutely ripped bodybuilder on my wall. For inspiration.

LOL - that was HILARIOUS! Thanks for the post!

**Ratbarf**

That was really funny lol. "WE HATES THEM"

**dr vompire**

I feel that role playing is like masterbation, It's fine in the privacy of your own home, but when you do it wearing a costume and in public where children might see it is just creepy.

**The Crippler**

Friends dont' let friends LARP. - A personal credo.

**KingCracker**

cat people.....check
fighting with swords and magic.....check
costumes a plenty..... check
uber hot women dressed in almost nothing(AND STORM TROOPERS!)......check
making sure i go to the next convention or LARP meeting........DOUBLE CHECK

**stonefox**

Don't forget the fact that most of the hot women are paid models and the rest are fugly hambeasts!

You're thinking of Booth Girls at Anime/Video game conventions. Cosplay=/=LARP

scotts wrote:P.S. Just to be perfectly clear, my original post was meant as a stab at all of geekdom in reference to the 'downward-trickle' nature of persecution itself. Lest we forget, lots of my friends dress up like women every weekend...all right some do it every day...

Scott, I happen to see some of them around Orlando mostly at Parliament House down nearby OBT. Great place to pickup chicks who like to go there and dance (just make sure you check downstairs with the girl your talking to) and for some of you guys who cant find a lady date ... try a dude

(Bears can get cubs).

He said conventions.

**stonefox**

There's a joke in here somewhere about Gambit with food or something to do with his ability to create energy and storing an excess of Calories or something.

**99MDeery**

lol that fear of girls video was pure genius "the only female that is involved in my life is my sister in law and i don't care if she caught fire!"

i also used to have a friend who's parents wouldn't let him play DnD with as they thought it would lead to him getting into a satanic cult, its strange how some people think

**Mattlov**

You all owe me brain-bleach.

**99MDeery**

oh btw watch both episodes of Fear of Girls i've not laugh like that for a while, i think i woke the neighbors up

Mattlov - we may owe you brain bleach, but c'mon dude surely the see the funny side of it
