Why do people go to sporting events? All there is to do is look at people wearing costumes and buy overpriced food. It always reeks of carnival food and BO.

What the hell is the point of these events?

Well, in his defense both events do tend to have large amounts of both spandex and homoerotic content.

I went to Comic Con in London a year or two ago and Brian Blessed was there. He hadn't been booked, he wasn't on any of the literature, he just turned up and commandeered a table. So at least some are cool.

Nerds used to be people that were good at math and science. Now they're just adult children who like to dress up and play with dolls.

I guess if you wanna get all technical about it, they are comic book and/or video game geeks. :shrug:

Why do people go to bars or clubs? All there is to do is look at people you don't know and drink overpriced alcohol. It always reeks of crappy beer and BO.

I went to comic con once and got jealous of the cosplayers but didn't feel like making a costume, so I just cut the legs off some jeans, started walking around shirtless and told everyone I was Bruce Banner.

Hey OP guess whose weekends aren't the exact same variations, over and over and over again?

If you can't find a decent party at a con, either you suck or the con sucks

Cosplay usually turns into trainwrecks of drama and pettiness and excessive competitive flaunting though. Really attracts the dysfunctional for some reason

I'm not going to get into photographer drama because that poo poo's worse
