ZapCon 2016 Roll Call

[yotsuya]

My cousin Ziggy lives in Broken Arrow, I think.

Nice definitely my neck of the woods

He's a Jeep and gun nut who works for Wal-Mart.

Ok, Yots...so it was my understanding that as part of the SWAG BAG that we are all receiving... that we all got "entrance music" for when we walk into the arcade.

If so, I want this one: (preferable starting at the 1:14 mark, if you please)



What the hell, I'll even rock the jorts if someone provides the fog.


In fact, I think it would be best if we all post our personal "arcade entrance music"

[yotsuya]

 

[Ond]

Do I seriously gotta where jorts???  LOL.  BTW jorts are all over the place in Aussie - they are really common, but NOT seen on dudes my age.

[yotsuya]

If you wanna earn the badges you gotta wear the jorts.

[RetroGreg]

I think everyone wears jorts in Arizona. All ages.

[HaRuMaN]

I think everyone wears jorts in Arizona. All ages.

Not this honky. 

[Slippyblade]

Considering that it is shorts weather for about 9 months out of the year...  four months, shorts are mandatory.  You gotta mix things up or you are wearing the same thing all the time.

[yotsuya]

Snapped this PBJ creeper photo at Home Depot the other day. This ---maternal-smurf--- brings the jorts, and then some. We should aspire to this level.

You're not one of those dudes that wears jeans to work out at the gym, are you?

Do I look like I go to the gym?   

I have shorts.  Just not jorts.  lol

I'm buying a pair especially for zapcon. Toying with the idea of buying an extremely douchey pair off of eBay.

[dmckean]

I'm buying a pair for Zapcon and making them a permanent part of my wardrobe.

You're totally trying to dupe one of us into showing up in a crazy pair. Jean shorts for me. I'm not taking the bait. I will buy whoever shows up in the worst shorts and the white flip flops a beer.

I already bought these mofos for ZapCon...



I'm a man of my word. I will have jorts on.

I'm in. Bought these today 

[dmckean]

I really didn't want to buy white flip flops lol

Can I cheat and wear clear jelly shoes?

[Ond]

Can I cheat and war clear jelly shoes?

Nup.

[yotsuya]

Ond ---smurfing--- ROCKS. The rest of you ---maternal-smurfs--- should just stay at home.

Looks like Ond and I will be the only two with the Oh Kaneda and Real Men Wear Jorts badges....

[dmckean]

There's no bribe system?

[yotsuya]

There's no bribe system?

You can buy brews and earn the Beer badge.

Speaking of badges, I've had some fun applying some of the "prerequisite" badges to your cards. Here's an example. Can you guess who's who?

[dmckean]

Not me, I think I just get the virgin badge by default. (don't know where the daughter came from)

[yotsuya]

Actually,  yours will look like the one on the right (1st ZapCon, coming from out of state, been a BYOACer over 5 years). But that's DeLuSioNaL's.

[yotsuya]

Badge key...

[yotsuya]

Oh, I have it on good authority that there will more than likely be someone there to take a photo with for the Cosplaying Capers badge...

[dmckean]

I'm trying to get my daughter a costume, but it might be too late.

We'll see.

[dmckean]

Are there secret badges?

[yotsuya]

Are there secret badges?

All available badges are on that list.




Unless I think up other ones and print them up.

[dmckean]

Is the one on the left Slippy?

[yotsuya]

Is the one on the left Slippy?

You deserve a badge for figuring that one out!

Although the key says the Casa de Yotsuya badge is for visiting my gameroom DURING ZapCon, he's the only one who's been there so far, so I made an executive decision to award it to him. I AM the final arbiter, after all.

[dmckean]

It was actually the more ambiguous "during your visit", but locals are never visiting.

Anyone comes by Casa de Yotsuya Gameroom, they get the badge.

[yotsuya]

I might also give the "TacoTimeCharlie" Badge to anyone who goes and eats Mexican with Vigo, Harveybirdman and I Friday morning.

Aww. I coulda been a contender.
Maybe I'll challenge him for the jort title then.

[jdbailey1206]

I'm still trying to figure out why you are using the Circle Jerks emblem for the 'You Crazy Old Coot!' badge sticker...

Don't worry,  you're getting those same badges.  It's not a "only one person can earn them ever" type of thing.
