obtusity is one of my favourite words...it can be used to great effect when isnulting people...particularly ignorant people because they don't actually know what you're saying and any comebcak they have is usually unintentionally funny. e.g's from real life:
Me "oh please continue revelling in your obtusity bubble you intellectually undernourished troglodite!"
Victims Response "yeah! I am a rebel and that bothers you doesn't it?"
or "What is that fragrance you are wearing? it smells like...Oh I know it's eau d'obtusity...I didn't think you could get it any more...my bad". response " I'm wearing Calvin Klein thanks very much!"
I may sound mean but I am all too often surrounded by stupid people and have to keep myself amused somehow.

Yes, a word having an entry defining it as its proper form is certainly evidence enough for me. I withdraw the objection.

Acting like you've never heard anything so offensive is how you do this, now?
Considering you never, in any way, seemed to be actually poking any kind of fun and really just acted unreasonably squicked, while I am lamenting something that genuinely makes me sad, it's pretty funny that you would accuse me of missing the point.

I'm continuing this in PM, because this is derailing the point of what was supposed to be a Dragon Con related thread.
People, feel free to continue. Please step around the caution: flamethrower signs.
"lamenting something that genuinely makes me sad"
I missed this, and if I missed completely very obvious hints that you were not in any mood to play, then I'm sorry. My understanding was you were going to ask some actor to pretend to bite you for a photograph, which would make for a good photograph, fun. I've never seen Buffy, I have no idea who any of you are talking about, and I wasn't sure if you meant you were going to ask this James, or Sean. I assumed Sean, because that's who you talked about, and I understood he was still going to BE at DragonCon. If I'm mistaken here, I also apologize, but that was ignorance, not intentional.

James Marsters did not cancel Dragon*Con. There's 40,000 people here. Unfortunately, James Marsters is not one of them. *snort*
(Sorry about that. Could not resist.)

That's too bad. Maybe he just couldn't resist con overload - I know that he was at Wizard World Chicago two weeks ago, and Fan Expo last weekend, where his meet/greet/sig line was insane. (I didn't get to meet him in person, but I was at his guitar concert and his Q&A, he was great.)

Just wanted to update on how DC is being widely played up by the local media. Even the sports talk stations are giving it big props, amongst all the goings on in ATL this week. There was GA State U's first ever football game, as well as 2 college games in town on Saturday. I think NASCAR is also in town as well, for the entire weekend.... and yet all the radio stations were having their comments ( not all of it favorable, you can imagine )
I won't make it down there this time, unless I force my way down on Sunday...but it's good to see that DC is getting so much attention.

That is true! Any it's my main comfort, since I haven't seen him at a con before. I do doubt that he'll be willing to bite me during a photo op, but I suppose I can ask...
Nothing to worry about. He was fantastic at his first D*C panel.

got any highlights to share? I know Nathan called in at one point and they flicked him off for Jewel but that's all the news I got other than that people enjoyed it...
