Yesterday there was a dremel accident and I took a big chunk out of my left thumb nail & a have a big gash in my thumb. Ow. Now I have to get a set of fake nails to wear one over my mangled nail to protect it from getting further ripped and which I guarantee will not be healed by steamcon.

People telling you that "But Zeppelin!" is not a valid excuse for anything.

For that purpose, peacock feathers work extremely well too. |

+1 on the peacock feathers. But honestly, any feathers will do. My little blond cat loves my top hat a tad too much for my liking... She will often climb on furniture and appliances just to reach the feathers when I'm wearing it!  |

You should see what she does with bones. She practically fell in love with my girlfriend's bobcat skull necklace. She started rubbing up against it and tried to keep it for herself. To say the least, she's clearly a fan of taxidermy.  |

Ouch. Damaged nails can be amazingly painful. My sympathies. |

inspired by some of the other threads (none of which happened to me):
getting thrown out of clubs for dressing casually.
Having to threaten people with umbrellas to get them to stop heckling you.

I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future.

Getting Porlocked every time I try to get some work done.
(Muggles get "distracted from their objective by continual interruptions;" Steampunks get Porlocked.)
The IT dept in which I work tries to discourage users coming to the IT dept in person, unless they either need to collect something or their phone and e-mail are both broken. I think I need a sign saying No Porlockians or No Porlocking. And another sign explaining it, probably. And another stating that I know I'm verbing a proper noun. Hrm. I might just stick to grumpilly muttering sod off. |

In my defence, it wasn't a threat, but a promise  , and it worked. |

I'm not that nuts. Those kids were genuinely getting on my nerves, though. There could have been serious ferrule-prodding. |

Having people in Hot Topic (yes I managed to find a Victorian style dress there...tho it was 10yrs ago) stare at you as you and your mother gather things for your prom. Then having the photographer rearrange the room the pictures are taken in because you are perfect for the 100yr old building your prom is being held in (unlike the 200 other girls there in their hot pink puffy dresses), and he wants to get a shot that looks like one of the paintings in an old manor. (still have the picture)

It so is. I don't care what you're usiing it as an excuse for, as long as it is tangentially related to acquiring or flyng a zeppelin it's a valid excuse. |
