"rabble, rabble, rabble"

@Saberpilot: What a complete asshole.

@HashMaster9000: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You told Shatner that your favorite Captain was Sisko? That is golden and he sure deserved it after the way he treated you. How utterly surreal.

@root: Stretchers? How horrifying.

@bookwench: Thank you - I was very very lucky. I have to say I'm feeling the rage with you after reading at how common this is. It's scary to think that my story had a good ending - I'm wondering how many poor girls and guys don't even remember as much as I did and weren't as lucky.

@ManicPixieNightmareTroll: Heh, I've went that long too. Baby powder on the head helped with the oiliness of my hair. The rest of me - toxic!

@louwheeze: Here in my house that's called working from home ;-) During a deadline I can even go 2 days without a shower. But it's not pretty.

@MojiMoji: I like your term better. Has more oomph!

@MojiMoji: That's actually perfect. Let him know your doing it too. Haterbation.

@whiskeyshoes: Mine's out with my son picking me up some hot wings and beer.

@xdeathknightx: Heh. You are so hearted for that last sentence alone ;-)

@Pittsburghmuggle: That has to be one of the oddest and best (minus the alcoholism) "how my parents met" stories I've ever read. "Remember, I'm not really Abraham Lincoln." HA!

@HelenofPeel: Oh wow. Thank the lords of kobol that your Dad was there. I am literally shuddering at what that pervert would have done otherwise. I am so sorry not only that that happened but that you were also so young.

@ijustwritebooks: Same here. I always watch my drink now. And embarrassing? Yes! The gorgeous Jamie Bamber had to be able to smell my vomit bra. And the poor housekeepers at the hotel, I was so embarrassed at the mess. I tried to clean as much as I could, but I'm sure it was not enough.

@GeneralBattuta: Oh you are absolutely right. When I think about it, would I have been more vigilant at a work conference or a regular out of town bar? Yep. And a Con is really the same as those - strangers, drinks, etc.

@HelenofPeel: Thank you. I'm so sorry that it seems to have happened to you as well. Hearted for solidarity.

@ijustwritebooks: I know, right?! I was 33 at the time and I just couldn't figure out why that little bit of wine made me as sick as I used to get in my teen drinking days. Thank goodness you had people looking out for you!

@GeneralBattuta: Seeing yours and others responses along this line are very eye-opening. Even after it happened to me, I never thought that it was so common at Cons. I know that I shouldn't expect good behavior just because a man is into the same sci-fi as I am, but I really thought I was safe amongst "friends". I…

@dkl415: Well, the first guy ended up being my sister's boyfriend for 2 more damn years. She finally just left him. I'm not allowed to punch him yet.

@vrey_oneida: Wow, I had no idea it was so prevalent at Cons. I guess I just bought into the naive "we're all friends here communal geek feeling" and forgot that geeks can be sexual predators as well.
