Well gang, the spam filters on my e-mail box were simply not up to the task of filtering out the hundreds of variations of the word viagra that flooded it each day. So instead of building this huge database of words that it was to delete if it found in the subject header I made it instead filter out anything that did not contain a specific word in the subject header.
From now on all e-mail sent to me MUST contain the word TENTACLE in the subject header or it will be deleted unread.
The filter isn't case sensitive the word tentacle just has to appear anywhere in the subject header, even as part of another word.
Sorry if this causes anyone any extra grief when trying to e-mail me but the truth is the spam was making it impossible for me to find the genuine e-mails in my e-mail box anyways so chances are there were a lot of people whose messages were simply deleted unread anyways.
Remember folks... TENTACLE

Man!
I can't believe just how well this new E-mail filter system is working. Real e-mail from readers has been coming in steadily all week long. No more weeding through mountains of spam to try and find real e-mails. No more purging my entire inbox unread because it was too crammed full of spam to read through. Nothing but legitimate E-mails. Oh life is good!
Hey, and amoungst the e-mails was one that may well have gone unnoticed and accidentally deleted unread under the old e-mail filter system.
Seems I've been invited to attend a convention down there in the United States of America. Seems the good folks at I-Con 23 are interested in having me come to their convention.
Free airfare, free hotel, free food, and I get to hang out at a convention? Don't have to ask me twice! I'm there baby!
This will be my first time at a convention as a guest and only my second time at a convention period.
Part of me can't help but wonder if my being asked as a guest had something to do with someone on the guest committee saying "You know, those webcomic things are supposed to be very popular, what say we invite a webcomic artist to our convention."
The someone else piping in "I overheard some kids on campus the other day talking about this Ghastly something-or-another Comic. Let's get that guy."
Then I can see it hours before I get there one of them thinks "Hey, we should actually check out this guy's comic... <click> .... Dear sweet mother of god! NooooOOOOOooooo! Abort! Abort!"
"It's too late! He's already on the plane."
"Well... let's all turn off the lights and pretend we're not here."
A short while later we see Ghastly standing outside a darkened convention centre, peering in through the glass doors. "Hello? Hellooooooo? I'm here... me... Ghastly. Hello?"
Inside the convention centre attendees in cosplay and staff are crouched down behind furnature and hiding behind plants. "Shhhhh... be quiet you fools. If he hears us he will destroy us all with his tentacled mind perversions!"
Meanwhile outside. "Hellooooooo?"

Nah, an accordion is a weapon all by itself. Especially if you can actually play it. At one convention I went to, a local radio DJ was doing "Professional Wrestling" out of his suite. If you walked in wearing a costume, you got to be a professional wrestler. So my partner and I walked in, and they tried to make us wrassle. I pointed at Jody and yelled, "He has an accordion, and he's not afraid to use it!" Our poor opponent didn't stand a chance. The broadcast was filled with the sounds of Jody slammimng away on the melodeon and the other poor sap thrashing on the ground yelling, "NoooOOoo! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Aigh! I give up! SToOOooP!"
For that matter, I think we may be the only people who've ever gotten thrown out of a Klingon bar for playing accordion...
