The Cockroach Kissing Incident The things I won't do for charity... At Anthrocon 2000, Guest of Honor Sarah Palmer was pregnant. I mean, really pregnant. Imminently pregnant! During the art auction, it was brought to my attention that someone had found a titanic cockroach in one of the rooms. It was brought to my attention, that is, when someone handed it to me in a cup with a piece of paper taped over it. I decided that it would be fun to auction the cockroach off and give the money to Sarah for her diaper fund, so I presented the little monster as "The Love Child of Sarah Palmer and Myself." I attempted to auction it off, with no success at all. In something of a panic, I blurted out, "If I get a $50 bid, I will kiss the baby." And, of course, some shmendrick had to shout out, "Fifty dollars!" I was stuck. I couldn't go back on my promise. So I did it. Sarah got her $50 for the baby; I got to run to the men's room and wash my mouth out with soap; and, of course, I had to suffer the indignity of several artists who decided it would be fun to commemorate this little incident... | ||
