My girlfriend got one of those corsets. She's been tapestried!

She also got me a late Valentine's present...the world's most kickass bowler. From an old friend from college I haven't seen in ages. I was thin, then.

Got to be on panels, except the Talking Durning the Movies because they started on time (whoever heard of such a thing?) and I was 5 mins late due to spending 20 mins trying to get our check from the hotel restaurant. Had a blast, dinner worked out amazingly well (I overtipped our waiter, he was so damn good).

My only wish was that Jim could have attended the con, instead of his beardless twin Jerome.

Am I the only one who wants to see a pic of Mickey in his bowler?

So if Jerome is the nice one, does that make Jim the evil one? Or is Jim uber nice? By the laws of physics, Jim would have to be the evil one. He has the beard.

Seen it.

It was dashing, in a sort of Doctor Watson plus sarcasm way.  It worked.

I'm guessing you mean a bowler hat? Do you have a cane to go with it?

No. An actual bowler. Candlepin. Dude's got a long white beard and sweats a lot.

Believe me, a map wouldn't have helped.

Especially when trying to get back to the hotel. ;) I kid I kid. :)

Don't know much about Cricket but a team position is a bowler or US bowling. It may be a uniform (shirt). I thought it very likely a hat but this group does go into obscure knowledge and interests.

I was riffing; sorry. It's the hat.

Must see picture of the poutz before a picture of the bowler. (This will buy me time.)

And yes, I have a cane! From the fine folks at Lazy Dragon. ( http://www.lazydragon.com/ ) Black unbreakable shaft, chromed french pistolgrip top, works GREAT with the bowler. The kickass, has weight, honest to god REAL bowler. That fits. (I have a HUGE head. There's a reason I'm an only child.)

Oh, and yes, Jim is the EVIL twin. Just ask any of the beta readers, they know it's true.
