Much to my wife's chagrin, I've never been one to put much thought into what I wear. Generally, what I wear consists of the top item in my drawer. Thus how I look is fully determined by my dryer, because the order the clothing is in the dryer determines the order it gets put into the basket which determines the order it is folded in and finally the order it is placed in my drawer. I put a lot of trust in my dryer.
But I'm currently packing for a little trip I'm taking this week. I'm going to the World Science Fiction Convention (World Con for short) in Spokane, Washington. (You guys, I'm totally gonna be at the Hugo Awards. That's like the Oscars for nerds.) As I'm packing, I have to decide what to wear to World Con.
The con is 4 days long. You would think the decision would be easy. I should wear the top 4 shirts in my drawer. But it's not that simple. If I want to be cool with this crowd, I need shirts that properly express my membership among nerds. But not just any nerds, World Con nerds.
I know what to wear to Comic Con, but I've never been to World Con. What should I do?
Here are my finalists.
|
I think Doctor Who is popular with this crowd. This one should be a winner as well. |
|
There are Star Wars fans in every crowd. I feel safe with this one.
|
I think those first 3 are definites. The last slot is a debate among the remaining ones.
|
This one pays homage to The Matrix as well as Superman. It could be solid. |
|
Every fantasy lover has seen The Princess Bride. |
|
This doesn't have anything to do with science fiction or fantasy, but everyone there will appreciate math, right? And who doesn't like pie? |
|
Everyone there appreciates the periodic table. And everyone everywhere appreciates bacon. |
As you can see, I have quite the dilemma. Whatsoever shall I do?
All good options. I think that you can never lose with Indigo Montoya. Though your first three are clearly your best.

ReplyDeleteAfter the 3, the 1 in the 4th slot is obvious.
ReplyDeleteBacon!! That's my vote.
ReplyDeleteAll good options! The struggle is real. You're gonna be standing in front of the mirror for hours trying to decide!
