Here's a more accurate list: Top 10 ways to tell that you've been to too many anime cons 10) You start refering to anime as "those god-damned Japanese cartoons". 9) Can't work up the enthusiasm to oggle half-naked cosplayers anymore. 8) Haven't spent more than ten minutes in a video-room since 1997. 7) Wouldn't want to, anyway. 6) You get into cons for free. Pity you no longer enjoy them. 5) Doctors are baffled to learn that your migranes are caused by "costume contests". 4) Unable to spend more than $40 in the dealer's room per con, with the exception of merchandise made before 1987. 3) Narrowly avoided being arrested after that karaoke/chair-throwing incident. 2) Denny's waitresses in more than three states know what your usual is. 1) The highlight of each con involves getting away from it to sit around and bitch about how much you hate cons. Then you go to more cons. > Greg "I'm too old for this shit" Spahr Phil "Do I sound bitter?" Lee
