What we need is some official lapel-badge-nametag-type things so that fellow boarders can recognise each other at Dreddcons, Shedcons, Marts etc. This will also help weary writers/artists to avoid us like the plague.
Or mebbe an official boarders 'ring' (fnaar) , complete with dodgy handshakes and half-mast trouser legs ????
A mullet generally does the job.
But I'd add a couple of quid for badges.
- Never forget the Trout likes mullets
An orange shirt does the trick...
I like the idea of little pinbadges with the boarder's icon on it.
You can buy packs of pretty cheap plastic nameholders with a pin on, and you just slot your own piece of paper in. I imagine most office stationers sell them. You could have your Icon, left, then to the right, board name, and underneath that real name.
Or you could get tatoos.
Something more subtle might be nice...
I've already mentioned that I now have a yellow Z shaped earing - identify my by that.
King Troutman could carry a fish with him.
The Col. could carry a bag of marbles...
Some of us might not want to carry reminders of our "tags".
I could dress in dirty grey and look monumentally depressed at all times. Or just get bombed.
Its cheap and its nasty, but one can always get your icon printed up on a tshirt
other that that the orange shirt goes well with the gaot and trouser leg option

Ooh, I could set myself on fire.
Although after you'd identified me, you'd only have about 1 minute to talk to me before I pass out due to severe burns.

Boarders could use you to cook up Trout, both Lobsters, Lord Running Clam & Eggsonlegs for a nice seafood brunch. When you die down, just give Queen Firey Bou a quick poke.
BWAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAA!
You are sooooo dead when she reads that!
LOL LOL LOL
- Trout
oh god, do you realise what you've done there...
Ah. That may have come out a tad wrong. I was concentrating solely on the incendiary properties of the "Firey" part of the name. I swear.
Pre-emptive apologies for slurring the good name of one of the finest people to post on this board.
...who you've suggested might take a poking.
You're still in big trouble.
BWA HA HAAA HAAAAA!
- Never forget the Trout is evil
Yeah, it's gonna be frying pan time!
One might suggest that the meaning was obvious from the context, and that certain people have deliberately twisted it out of context to provide a grossly insulting suggestion...
But ultimately there's only one arbiter. And to her I grovel.
You're gonna get soo smacked with that pan!
LOL
Rotts
hmmm, using my phsychic pre-emptive powers i fortold of this thread. & ever mindful that Trouts minion failed to recognise me at moniave due to lack of spike & sword, yesterday i went to the Trade fair at Glasgow...
and bought a selection of BIG swords.
i jest not. theres a LOTR one, a claymore & a 'braveheart', a 14thC one... anyway, whopping GREAT BIG SWORDS. So you'll have no problem recognising me, Im the one with the spike heels, bad attidude & BIG celtic weaponry, and do you know what happens to people who suggest a 'quick poke' to ladies with swords? hmmm ?
quick ? poke ?
did he say quick poke?
me ?
poke me?
!!!!!
Since when did you have pre-cog powers, you ridiculous, half-painted, barbarian anacronism?
You bought new kitchen knives, didn't you?
And a food mixer.
- Trout
why ! why you, you ! fish faced fiend ! wait til ive recieved that pro-forma invoice, paid with visa & received via courier the authentic SWORDS.... GRRRRRRRRowl!
food mixer ? ha, its the handblender for you scale boy. !
How bout we get the 2K logo branded into our foreheads?
I'm certainly going to get my icon on a badge somehow.
If someone's doing posh ones, do one for me and I'll meet the cost.
- Trout, proud to be fish-faced
Well I'll wear my 'colonel marbles' t-shirt, but i'll forget the false beard....
I think you should get Spur to reproduce his "I'm with Scojo" t-shirt, for you all to wear....
...lucky bastards, once more, I'll be lapping up the snow filled plains of Jutland (Jylland)
You not managing again this time, Danepak?
We'll have to take a mobile call from you, or somehow have you there again in spirit, following your most entertaining poem last year.

+ King Troutman could carry a fish with him.
The Col. could carry a bag of marbles... +
Not sure what I should carry.. A f**king big sword would probably get me chucked out of the 'Con

Trout,
Alas no....
However I've been made aware of a Wedding that I shall no doubt be attending next year.
It's in June, so it might be possible to arrange a gathering around this time.
(I was also due a family holiday in July, but alas we can't afford them both- sob! sob!)
Daney, off to get his poetry hat on, and learn how to spell rouge, damn... Rogue!
Eep! Just to clear things up - _I_ didn't suggest poking Bou - no way.
But maybe I should bring a sword to defend myself with just in case (Oh, hang on - mine are all rubber...)
Steve
rubber swords ? you filthy pervert !
Quick poke? is there any other kind?
Beenalongtime Huff.
