Portal - if I can make the next D Con, you have a place but only if you bring a croc! Just like alligator and taste like chicken! I'll do everything I can to be there in 09. Tired of missing the fun.

damn it... there such a pain to get through US customs... they don't understand that biting off limbs is just there way of saying hello...

(Your all gonna have to put up with "gidday" and "mate" in my sexy Aussie accent

Just tell em there was no one at home to take care of it! I can deal with your "Aussie" accent. I've spent time with your guys in uniform and none of you are crazier than they are. They must get fed something special to make them the way they are. I'm pretty sure I can handle you and the accent.

Fortunately i dont need customs or visums.. Finland is the only country in the world, who doesnt need customs (due to our neutrality). I can literally take off in the 1st plane going there =D and no one will even ask me a question

Also, if i do happen to have any problems, i happen to be a diplomat xD Diplomatic immunity FTW!!

But seriously, travelling to israel is the worst, they dont care if your a diplomat, they run an hour long security check on you and your luggage. (in afraid of terrorism)
The bonus is, their aircraft actually have "Anti-missille" protection, for heatseaking missilest etc.
The israeli civil aircraft has tried to be shot down a few times, up to this date, none has been hit.

I wouldn't want to leave him home alone anyway... heed eat all the furniture.

I don't think i have that bad of an accent, but i haven't been overseas for a while, so it would be interesting to see what people say! its in the vegemite... it has to be

interesting i would have though all countries would have customs (but you would have to submit to customs in the country your traveling too)
Lets not get to off topic though...

Perhaps a discussion thread separate from the photo thread for D*con would be a good idea?

Vegemite...last time I had that I couldn't taste anything,but all my friends made faces so I'm afraid to try it now.I can deal with accents, I'm used to them by now. I used to volunteer at a summer camp and we'd have different counselors every year from different countries. A lot of them time we ended up helping them with their english. But this is off topic.

I agree with p0rtalman perhaps discussion needs its own thread.

I would post more,but I must get ready for school.

sort of along the same line... next year if you get tackled by an intoxicated red 6'4 (without armor, few more inches with) spartan... uhh don't point the blame at me....

Seriously, I'm in clemson SC, atlanta is so darn close, I'm really sorry I missed this! Too many things to do and wayyyy to little time.. Hopefully there will be another con nearby this year (I'm not all too familiar with where cons happen and all). Unfortunately as cool as the seatle cons are.. I really don't feel like traveling across the country with a suit of armor.

edit: seriously messed up first post

oh and vex, nice costume, but did you show up as a spartan at all? your armors cool

Sorry I'm a little late with the reply XD Been sick with the con crud lol.

My spartan armor had a few pieces fudged up so I left it at home this year. Twas sad, but I have been wanting to rebuild and refine anyways

In Adam's pix I am the chick with the blue skirt and black boots. My feetsies had gotten tired from my costume by that point, but I was in my Phoenix get up for most of the con.

Here's some pics o dat (getting this thread on track again too):

(and why look there's Walter

)

And Adam, I am stealing Aundie away from you!!! She's such a sweetheart!!!

Awesome pictures guys and gals, thanks for sharing! Cool to see so many in one place, everyone looked great.
Sean, your elite is especially impressive, nice job.
Hats off to everyone who made it there!

One thing the pics are missing: ODSTs!
Maybe next year...
