Okay, I'll play the one-upmanship game here. Costume-Con in 1989, Paula Crist
in full-on Klingon uniform got a little scratch on her eye, and didn't stop to
change before heading for the emergency room. Good thing the receptionist was a
Star Trek fan or she'd probably still be there explaining herself.
Obligatory food comment: Platina's got some good stuff huh? I documented
macaroni and cheese [maccharoni] and fish sticks [fricadella di pesce] out of
there and got several Medieval Food Haters to grudgingly admit defeat. Man, I
live for occasions like that! All hail the food warriors!
