A few years ago, at the height of the COVID-19 brouhaha, a "virtual convention" was held online for science fiction and fantasy authors and fans. If we couldn't get together in the flesh, we were going to do so in cyberspace, so there!
Our online buddies Lawdog and Old NFO contributed regular comments on social media from "Convention Security". They were a hoot, poking fun at life, the universe and everything, plus a few things one doesn't normally consider funny at all. Cedar Sanderson has now compiled them into a blog post over at Lawdog's place, so we can all laugh at them anew. Examples:
Message from Con Security (LD): The situation in the “Ethics and Cloning” panel has been resolved. As soon as Housekeeping cleans up, it will reconvene.
We’d like to recognize Kevin the Intern for his brilliant, yet unorthodox tactic of “Shrieking Incoherently and Throwing Baby Shoggoths”. Took care of things rather quickly.
On an unrelated note: there is a variable number of baby shoggoths loose on the Gallery. If you see one, try to trap it under an overturned trash bin, and call Kevin the Intern.
Thank you.
Message from Con Security (JL): Whomever translocated the pink elephant and unicorn to A 143 please remove them. That is the Eldritch Horror panel and the moderator is NOT happy. The Alternate Reality is What you Make It panel is in A 134.
Message from Con Security (LD): Has anyone seen Kevin the Intern? He mistook the purple octopus (with lipstick kisses) for his bagpipes, and was last seen sprinting naked down the East stairwell, screaming about the walls melting.
Thank you.
Message from Con Security (JL): Would whatever is cosplaying Santa Claus please report to the main lobby. Your partridge is about to get zorched by the Ewoks. They have claimed all the trees in the main lobby and are NOT happy with your partridge being in their trees.
There's more at the link.
Click over there and enjoy!
