I'll be a hobo if I can wear the cool fingerless gloves and a broken top hat. Also, I shall have to to the bundle on a stick. Your not a proper hobo without it.
But what about the smearing your face with soot, having missing teeth, and growing a scruffully beard? EEP! Count me out. *cringes*
just go buy some cheap bubba teeth and a fake beard...soot wise though I think ur screwed, it's part of the hobo code and I don't see any sootable substitutions...
They buy vintage 20s-50s clothing and sell it to people looking for that kind of stuff. I dont have a broken top hat, but I do have one black and one tweed ivy hat ill be wearing all throughout PAX. As well as a bunch of other stuff I got there as well.
WHY DON'T WE DO THAT LIMBO! and have Jamaican theme. I can bring my light saber for the limbo stick. We did that at robotics competitions. Plus we are already in a line.
The only problem with Operator is the fact that I know almost everybody in line would change it on purpose. Just look at the threads here... how many get hijacked?

"I like cheese on crackers with rice"
"Buddy loves penises and mice"
It's only guaranteed to be modified to include more wangs, that's just how it is.
Unfortunately it painfully lacks that. However! myself and a friend saw Khoo at sakura con and ask if it were hopefull if PAX were to be sponsored some sort of deodorant company and he said " I am working on it."
lol so what would they be doing sponsor wise? walking down the lines spraying people down?
haha we should do that. last year i sprayed my friend marc's back about 1/4 a can of axe and inhaled it. i was near the back of the line. so we got the last bits of the wiffs of death. I mean really what was my choice, it was like 90 degrees outside witha lot of onbathed people infront of me and when i say a lot i mean atleast 100 ish.
while it works to mask scents, it can get just as bad as the scent intended to be removed if used in overabundance. if we could find a sponsor to provide travel-size deodorant sticks, that'd be even mightier.
Back on topic, do you think it's best to just focus on portables, or would anyone be interested in actual physical games? I'm thinking of bringing Stupiduel - a rather odd card game of wits. (Last time I saw it played, I was witness to "horde of ninja asassains eaten by blue whale" block...)

I'd say it's even worse. I was at some superbowl party once (friends of my sister's, as I was staying with her at the time. I hate football), and the family's youngest son and his friend started spraying a bunch of that stuff in an upstairs room. Smell seeped downstairs and I could barely even breathe. Sweat can be bad, but a bunch of that stuff is just plain awful.
Worse than the time I got in a fabreeze fight with a couple of my friends.

Bring stuff for the line only if you're cool with it being played outside, on the dirty filthy sidewalk.

I bet the time I got in a lysol fight with my friends was worse. You could hardly even open your eyes in that room, let alone breathe.
Anyway, every year people make a big fuss about odor. I don't think an overabundance of Axe (which doesn't even smell good by itself) is the solution.

Nope, and if worse comes to worse, I'll get a piece of poster board or two. I'm also tempted to bring The Game Of Redneck Life for the board games area - what other game counts your score with teeth?

And then there's that mad crush when the doors open, and I feel like I'm going to die.
