Today:

Saw the hairball. Saw examples of Civil War and First World War reconstructive surgery. Saw things that I don't think I saw at the Mutter Museum. Will tell you more later- this is a borrowed computer and the keyboard is a slightly weird European layout that I'm having some trouble working with. Lovely stuff, though, well worth the taxi ride out to Walter Reed and the rather weird navigation to find where the museum was located on the campus.

Apparently won the costume contest for my Ray Stantz. Will report on that when, again, proper keyboard.

Have also sung "Enormous Penis" in front of a live audience, with a plushie Nyarlathotep on my head at the time. I think it had the desired effect.

Overall, I'd say this day was a net positive for me.

Sounds like a totally cool time. Glad it went well!

[the_croupier]

Ugh. Any time the words "Civil War" and "surgery" appear in the same sentence, I just shudder. =)

Very glad the con is going so well, especially for its first time.

*spittakes* Man, I want VID!

No can do, hon. That was for one person, not for the con. Sorry.

[mm_madb]

And that one person? Really, really, really appreciated it.

Good to hear you're having a blast!

A DaVinci Notebook fan!

I was a long time fan of theirs - so sad they've broken up.

Is it an enormous song about a penis, or a song about an enormous penis? I mean, I've heard the detachable penis song, but not the enormous one.

(It's a song about a penis that is detachable, in case you were wondering.)

Whenever life gets you down
Keeps you wearing a frown
And the gravy train has left you behind
And when you're all out of hope
Down at the end of your rope
And nobody's there to throw you a line

If you ever get so low that you don't know which way to go
Come on and take a walk in my shoes
Never worry bout a thing
Got the world on a string
Cus I've got the cure for all of my blues (all of his blues)

I take a look at my enormous penis
And my troubles start a-meltin' away
I take a look at my enormous penis
And the happy times are coming to stay

I got a sing and a dance when I glance in my pants
And the feeling's like a sunshiney day
I take a look at my enormous pe-e-e-nis
And everything is goin' my way

(whistling)

PE-E-NIS

(end ad lib solo)

Everybody
I take a look at my enormous penis
And my troubles start a-meltin' away
I take a look at my enormous penis
And the happy times are coming to stay

I got great big amounts in the place where it counts
And the feeling's like a sunshiney day
I take a look at my enormous penis
And everything is goin' my way (my trouser monster)
Everything is going' my way (my meat is murder)
Everything is goin' my way (size doesn't matter)
Everything is goin' my waaaaaay
yummmm

Something tells me I want to hear this now. The lyrics make me want to rock out with my...well, okay, not continuing that, but only because it would be far too easy and my time would be better used thinking of much more unique puns.

Been to Walter Reed and yes loved loved love it. But I thought they were closing the whole damn thing down with the base closures last year or the year before? I mourned it even.

And in terms of the enormous penis, what exactly WAS the desired effect? Inquiring minds wanna know!

[camwyn]

Nope. Here's the note I found when I did a search to find directions to the place:

"June 2006: Clarification and correction on the museum's future, provided by the museum's public affairs officer: "The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) held hearings and voted to close WRAMC. Chapter VIII, Section 169 of the bill, also approved by BRAC, states that the museum will not be "disestablished." The museum will remain open as many of WRAMC's activities and the museum are moved over the next six years to a new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at Bethesda, Md. to be created on the site of the current National Naval Medical Center.""

And the desired effect was to get someone laughing who badly needed it.
