    that would be the #14 US Navy Dodge Charger, a sweeeeeeeeet design.

     

    that design is even more sweeter in person. saw it two weeks ago at watkins glen. also met the driver david stremme. he is the nicest driver i've ever met. asking people how things are going and stuff.

    here are a few more tips.i will post the more another time. enjoy.

    tm :lol:

     

    Using the restroom don't even think about it. i have two words adult diaper for those situations where you can't hold it. i highly recommend using a cup or bottle but there are some consequences you might not want. for example someone could accidentally spill it or worse drink it. you don't want to be in a room that smells like urine. now for that other body function i'll just call second in command you should definitely use the restroom. that's one not to be left in a diaper,cup or bottle. it would most likely stink up the place. especially if you're not wearing a diaper.

     

    another big no no is farting also know passing gas, the big stink,cutting the cheese, venting the exhaust, dude you didn't. no one likes to smell it. you don't want the speaker to pass out, do you? if someone did the pass gas, make sure you're not the first one to comment because as the saying goes " you smelt, it you dealt it." even if you didn't' do it you don't want the blame for someone else's embarrassment and the emergency room bill for the speaker, if they passed out. you don't want to be banned for life from conventions. unless you want to spend tons of money on plastic surgery and a name change.

     

    if you did splurge on that autograph ticket and your standing in line. get to know the people around you and eventually act out your favorite scene from an episode or movie. it's a great way to kill time plus it helps to lighten the mood in the room. but remember not to use sharp objects for weapons. you don't want you or someone else to go the emergency room with a bat'leth wound to the head do you?

     

    another embarrassing situation that may arise is if you comment to a celebrity about how you liked them in a certain movie or tv show that they were in. when in reality they weren't and it was someone else. some may take it the wrong way and meet you in the parking lot after the convention for a bit of a smackdown. if this occurs make sure someone is taking pictures and they end up on the internet with the headline i had my butt kicked by " celeb". be proud of that accomplishment. not many people can say they had their butt kicked by a celebrity. plus it makes sure you watch your words and do your research next time.

     

    if you get the photo opp ticket, try not to be bland and do the standard pose. get the celebrity to do a fun pose with you. if they say no and you persist you could end up like the previous tip.

    i came up with some funny convention tips. that's for if you're going to one. please don't take them seriously. i did them for fun. enjoy.

    tm :laugh:

     

    Wait till the last minute. run around making arrangements. don't

    reserve a ticket. just go! you might be able to get in. if not there

    is next year. being prepared kills the whole experience.

     

    don't take any cash. you don't need it. just beg for what you need.

    someone out there will probably feel sorry for you and might help you

    out.

     

    to get the best deal on that sought after item. go one step beyond

    speaking with the dealer. treat them to a night on the town. who know

    you might make a new friend or have a nice one night stand.

     

    don't pack any film,cameras, or memory cards. what do you need

    pictures for. there are some pictures you might not want to remember.

    you know someone will put the pictures up on the internet. don't

    spend the big bucks on the photo op. just use photoshop or some other

    program and cut and paste your head on someone else's body and call

    it your own.

     

    why pay the high price for an autograph, when you can simply go

    onto an internet auction and buy it for much less. if might be a fake

    but it's a risk you'll have to take.

     

    if you're looking for a costume for the contest. dress as the

    enterprise it doesn't matter which enterprise. just be the

    enterprise. why dress like a klingon or vulcan, be unique. if not

    the enterprise how about a borg cube? you just need a cardboard box

    and paint. it's a great last minute costume.

     

    don't eat. you might miss that speaker you wanted to see. just chew

    gum until the convention ends for the day. if there is a break eat

    then. you have to eat something, you don't want to pass out during a

    presentation.

     

    if you want to give a gift to your favorite speaker. give yourself.

    recycle the borg cube box, add a bow, and your done. if you don't

    want to give yourself, give them some complete stranger you find off

    the street. just make sure they don't smell. nothing ruins the moment

    like a smelly gift unless it's perfume or something.

     

    finally to optimize your time, follow the schedule. unless you want

    to see an empty room full of chairs and a microphone. go to see what

    you really want. don't try to have fun. it ruins the whole

    experience. don't go with high expectations, your hopes will get

    dashed in an instant.
