DWCon 2010 - another idea

[awmperry]

Am I mad?

I think I might be mad. Do I look mad? Some say I'm mad. I don't think I'm mad. I just get these headaches. No, I'm probably not mad. All right, maybe a bit.

Anyway, my point is that I've never been a big fan of dressing up for conventions, and now I've had three ideas in a couple of days.

The first is of course the Cunning Plan (the <i>secret</i> Cunning Plan, so don't ask) that I'm plotting with the Glingle Feegle and, well, anyone else who wants to help out.

The second is the ridiculous idea of dressing up as a giant name tag. That's a "don't ask" idea too, but for totally different and much more disturbing reasons.

The third is the one that just popped into my head. Naturally I'll be wanting to be in the Guild of Conjurors, Musicians, Entertainers and Associated Vagrants, but I had an evil idea for the Church of Om.

Therefore - some of you see where this is going, I'm sure - I shall see if I can put together an outfit for the Church of Om. Inquisitor Toast-The-Ungodly-On-The-Griddle-Of-Light-Punishment. An inquisitor who joined the Entertainers' guild because he has entirely the wrong approach to his work...

:raises eyebrow:

Yes, but can he be fended off and placated with tea and ginger biscuits like most Omnians?

(seriously. The last visit I got from the Jehovahs, I asked if they'd like a cup of tea, they had to decline as it was just distribution of leaflets that day, then I revealed that I had ginger biscuits. Them : Really? Um, if you're offering.)

I like the local Jehovahs. They're two little old ladies who come round once a year or so, and never seem to get around to proselytising. Mamma takes them for walks round the garden (large garden, with quite a few rare plants - don't ask me what they're called[1]), while I tend to sit down and talk theology with them... last time I sent them away with a book to read[2], which amused me.

Oh, and speaking purely for myself, Swedish-style ginger biscuits (see Ikea) work very well. Might even make me put away the thumbscrews for a moment.
