I find out about these things at the last minute…


There’s a convention going on this weekend, right here on the Morris campus? I may swing by, briefly. Briefly only because I hate to intrude on student events…but it sounds fun.

Cougar Con

Cougar Con is the Morris Fan Convention where we invite students to come and share their love of TV shows, movies, books, video games, and the list goes on. We have some games ready for you to play and show off your knowledge of popular fandoms. There will be a few showings of some movies and there will be a dance.

Apparently they had one last year and I missed it completely.

    I’m relieved to see that Cougar Con is not the student event I first thought it might be.

    @1 Rich Woods. I hate to say it but I’m with you. First thing that popped into,my mind.

    @2 There’s nothing in that that doesn’t say there won’t be creepy older women wandering the convention center.

    Older women having an interest in sex is not creepy. But no, this con has nothing to do with that meaning of “cougar”: our university simply has the cougar as a mascot.

    And before you complain about our choice, go yell at a certain football team based in Washington DC.

    Sorry about that last comment. I’m dealing with my social phobia stuff right now, and I’m probably not in a good frame of mind to deal with the internet.

    Sorry. I thought you had more experience with archaic Pharyngula-tropes.
    bless your heart = go fuck yourself

    When you are my age, they are no longer “creepy older women.” HAR HAR HAR
