It may be several hours before I can even think about continuing Slippy's Convention Adventure....

If anyone would like to continue the story in my absence and write the next episode, please do!

If you're just bored, you could always play Gold Miner as it would be in keeping with the theme of the story.

...a man with a dirty rag in his hand. "Can I wash your windshield, Sir?" he spoke through the closed driver's side window. Slippy nodded yes. Realizing his wallet was deep within his pocket, Slippy scrounged around in the ashtray for spare change....it wouldn't be enough for this fellow. So, not wanting to have his door kicked in, he quickly grabbed something from the plastic bag of convention goodies still on the seat beside him. As the light changed, he lowered the window half way and handed the fellow the spare change and......

KaDi deserves an Honorable Mention Golden Slippy at the very least for her entertaining story! :)

I think he's off playing Gold Miner... so he can't tell us what he was really doing those few days.

KaDi, you're definitely the closest, and very detailed, in your description of how I spent those days at the PDAC. :-D Thanks for the fine, quality entertainment!

So, the winner of the coveted Golden Slippy is.... KaDi, congrats!!!

:-D

In reality, it was deadly-boring. I blabbed the same story to hundreds of people wandering into my booth. The only thing people really want are the tacky little company fobbles. We had some quality fobbles, and some ultra-cheap fobbles. They all went fast.

I observed that South Americans are probably the most enthusiastic about fobbles, but Africans are a close second. The majority of North Americans are more reserved about their fobble collecting, but they grab handfuls of candy. The few psychos I saw that had shopping carts full of fobbles were North Americans. I'd have to put Europeans into the most reserved group. (You know where people are from by their tags).
