What's a secret? I have no clue what you're talking about.

There weren't any bunnies or Oompaloompas when I became a Shellback...but my CMC made a pretty convincing Mermaid.

I fall back to General Statement #5: "I can neither confirm nor deny..." and General Statement #7: "Until it is confirmed by my seniors in the Chain that you have both the requesite security clearance and need to know, I am not authorized to continue this conversation."

Bunnaloompas.

This is why I'm not an EMT; but they do have the best stories, due to events like this.

It's called Con.

DragonCon, ComicCon, PAX, GenCon.

Go to Con more and you see this kind of thing all the time, and it's ceases to be "why is that there?' and becomes "why did that person try to CosPlay that character?". ANd trust me, the CosPlayers already have had a field day with this one.

The "scar" isn't indicative of a C-section though. Could have been a number of surgeries....wife has one from her appendectomy which turned into a full disembowel and wash.

While Deirachel is right in saying that the scar could be indicative of a number of different surgeries, it could nonetheless be a C-section. It is very like the two scars my wife has in the same area.

One can of Crisco and this dude/gal would have met the requirements for "kissing the Baby" when I crossed the line back in the early 90's.

Surpirising how many Shellbacks there are here on this forum. I've been on a few forums where the term is completely unknown.
