What If... a CS-Only Conference?

In summary, this concept was mentioned in another thread, and I thought it would be fun to play with the idea a little. The idea is for a CS-specific conference where participants would have to have their screen names and avatars printed on their badges, and would have to participate in all the workshops. There would be puns, puns, and more puns, and special workshops for costumes and fruit hats for every occasion.

Sorry, Beth. On the other thread I had you trying valiantly to keep us all in line. My oversight in this one is abhorrent. Please forgive me.

BTW, nice Gilligan's Island reference.

Workshop: Post slut support group
 
  • #54
Support group implies there's a problem. Is that a problem?
 
  • Thread starter
  • #55
Only that there's a negative connotation to the word slut. So it'll be support for us to get over that.

That reminds me of a T-shirt:

You call me a slut like it is a bad thing

Maybe that could be the official t-shirt for this wave.

I think I need to make a CS shirt with that on it:

You call me Post Slut like it's a bad thing.

But would any of us wear it?
 
  • #60
Ooooh, I have another: How to type a resonse without sounding hostile or belittling.

Actually, maybe that should be a workshop at the actual NC.

no--- the post slut shirt. I had this thread open, got distracted, then typed my reply. In the meantime, you must have posted - which I didn't see until my reply posted.
 
  • #68
I'm fairly certain she's talking about the whole post slut thing, but, then again, you never know with Ann.

Hey, we're thinking alike again.

ooohhhh--- scary.

I gotta go. And I'm going to visit a coworker this weekend at her cottage in Canada. So I won't be on here this weekend.

So, Beth, you can rest easy.








For now.

Have fun, Ann. Beth and I will keep things going here. You just go on and forget all about that mean old Thread Killers thread. Just put it right out of your pretty little head.



(Hey, Beth, think that will work? One down, several thousand to go.)

I've been gone all day and just came home to 5 pgs of this. Luckily, I wasn't drinking anything or I'd have "spewed" all over my computer a few times. My DD is looking at me funny but reading the post to her just doesn't translate well :)

My problem with having various workshops is that you might sign up for one you like but by the time it's over....it will be on a totally different subject!! :eek:
 
  • #74
So then sign up for one you don't like and hijack it in the middle...

Just catching up for the day...I'm in! Do you think the hotel(s) will give us a CS rate?

Thank God I could teach the class on "how to not spew on your computer" or this was the post that would have ruined my new lap top.

Thank you Ann!:eek:

This is such a great idea! How fun this would be.

Did I get it right? Probably not, but the letters work.....Kinda the way I sing songs with the radio :) I do alot of "Lock the Catbox" singing. I drive my family crazy but at least my words fit the beat :)
 
  • #83
I spend the day demo-ing a bathroom at my dad's and learning how to use a grim reaper size branch cutting tool (which gave me way to much of a high btw...) and come home to this thread...

how could we not have a thread on computer's crashing or what about one on how to live w/out cs while on vacation.

Of course I think as a gift we should make CDs with all of the documents for everyone. and jilleysue can organize the computer files so when we use the cd it will make sense :)

Oh my, you all are crazy! (of course we all knew that.....:p ) I can't believe there's already 6 pages of CS workshop ideas......don't forget we'll need activities for those supportive spouses that roll their eyes when we log on here!

Are we going to have Jason lead the one about wearing a thong? I hear he wears his backwards. Not really sure I need an actual visual on that one.
 
  • #93
I thought he could be the one to walk across the stage with it on !!

Jason and the leaf guy could be on the cover of our Conference planner.
 
  • #94
Just so long as someone has "thong approval" on Jason before he appears. Seriously, the picture in my head is scary enough.BTW, no thongs for me. Trust me. No one wants to see that.

I nominate Rae for the hijacking workshop. She can take a grill press thread and turn it to a bathroom door - open or closed discussion.

Do you think you can stay on topic for a workshop, or will you hijack your own speech, and turn it into something else? (he, he)
 
  • #98
Well, I type and talk pretty much the same. I can stay on topic if it's absolutely necessary, but usually my conversations take lots of wild rabbit trails.I graciously accept the nomination. Please let me know if I am awarded this honor/responsiblility. If so, I'll get started on the outline that I will promptly ignore as I begin speaking.
 
  • #99
I would have an outline in front of me and ignore it too. My problem would also be that I start a story and turn it into a novel. I go on and on and on and so forth until everyone is tired of listening and then their minds wonder onto somthing else, and meanwhile I am still jabbering about it until I can turn it into something else, at which point I have lost focus and can't remember why I was there talking to begin with.

What point was I trying to make with this post?
