Re:Convention Geeks on TV?

My big problem with this is the HaHa crowd. They will gauffaw at a bunch of trekies or Warsies, or Whovians or freaking SCA’ers ect…. who are for the most part very nice people. While never looking at their own weird behavior.

Okay, so people like to dress up in costume and go to camping events and make like times of old, or re-enact their favorite episode. The problem with this is?????

For the most part they are with a group of people who understand and condone this bit of fun and they are not bothering the straights.

Now, your straights who belong to the HaHa club, see nothing wrong or werid about their own behavior.

For instance, what normal group of people spend their life chasing down an original radiator for 62 Chevy ‘mumble, mumble mumble’ short block. The car is a piece of crap and is more bondo than metal but that’s okay, we are going to spend the kids college money restoring it and someday pass it on to them. At which point in time, said kid who has grown to lothe the car will douse it with lighter fluid and set it aflame. This will enable the kid to spend a cheerful hour with their children roasting marshmellows over the burning hulk. Weird. Yet some people think this is perfectly normal, which goes to show it is more often your perspective on an act rather than the act itself that makes it seem weird.

Don’t even get me started on the Straight HaHa’er who think that going out every weeked and getting blotto is normal behavior. Clue. If you have to come back the next day and look for your car, you are not someone who should be throwing stones at others. 😀

IMHO

But what do you think?
