[GenCon] EN World photos and stories - add your own!

Wow, Alan, I really hope you are feeling better now as that does not sound like a fun thing at all. I'm thankful I didn't catch anything at Gen Con.

Christ Alan, do I feel for you.

I had abcesses on my tonsils when I was a teenager...luckily in Canada you just go to a doctor and they straighten you out rather than all the running around you experienced (that is to say, iw as given antibiotics) :(

It hurt like hell just sort of existing, I shudder to think how much it must have hurt having someone slice, poke and extract pus from them.

Well, all I have to say to Buttercup and Negative Zero is: I hope you didn't get it as bad as me.

Story follows. Stop reading if you are eating or for whatever other reason would be made squeamish by icky medical stories. You have been warned.


All I had was a sore throat that went away by Tuesday but then I don't have tonsils.

Hope you have a full recovery!
 

Good lord! Well, if it's any slight concilation, two years ago at GenCon I had Mono. Lord only knows how many people I infected with that. I was really grumpy the entire time, and by Sunday, my legs and arms broke out into horrible hives (in the middle of a Monte Cook seminar, no less).

Oddly enough, after I got home, and went to the doctor, I pretty much felt better. So, it really only lasted at GenCon. Awful timing.

Yeah, well, that's what I EXPECTED to happen before the absesses developed in the first place. I get ear infections every other year or so since I moved to MD. I go into the doctor, get my antibiotics, go home, and get better. Which is why I was so stunned that the same didn't happen here. :mad:

cool ... in your group, huh? well, could you, y'know, ask him? :p ;)

I spoke to Toren and he tells me that it is not me, and is in fact a picture of his friend Dan.

Toren: "If I drew a picture of you, you'd know."

Teflon Billy: "How would i be able to recognize it?" :)

Toren: "The outrageous Moustache and the Devil Horns."

Teflon Billy: "So it'd be like looking in a mirror then?"

Should anyone ever get a copy of the boardgame Cults across America, I was the hand model for Cthulu's talon on the box's cover art.

Bask in my fame.
