Cool, or creepy?

This year at the Emerald City Comic Con will be the first year that my niece, Brittany, will be bringing a Date with her (assuming that she and this boy are still dating at the time because I know how permanent these teenage flings can be and the longest she's ever dated a guy before was 2 weeks).

*IF* she is still bringing this fellow along to ECCC, it will be the first time that i get to meet him.

I am thinking that my introduction should go a little something like this:

"Hey, great to finally meet you! Since you *are* snogging and/or scrogging the woman who once was My Little Princess, I'm sure you'll understand that I'm predisposed towards disliking you. However, I look forward to having you attempt to win my respect and/or approval today! Who knows? This just might be the start of something wonderful! I just thought I'd let you know up-front EXACTLY where I stand, instead of letting you stew all day worrying about how Uncle Brian *really* feels about you. You can feel free to ask me for status updates any time you like and I promise to give you an honest assessment of the situation. If you ask for a status report and I don't respond? Assume that things are going poorly. And if you find that you're sitting here at the end of the day with no ride home? You can assume that I do not approve. So! having said all that... let's get out there and have some FUN!"

I will be waiting with a coca-cola enema for every crime he's been convicted of!

Please to introduce, comrade!

I'm sure that Britt will be bringing this new lad to your table and camping out. Heck, the approval of you and yours will probably be more important to her than the approval of me and mine!

Hah!

Also of note... no booth this year, alas. But I will be about, full time, goofing and creating what they call the shenanigans.

Hope I find you! I'll have a DVD for you!

Well, if you can't, call me at 253-274-1123. But I'll be all over the floor, so expect to bump into me. :)
