      Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies

      (Beverly, Beverly, Beverly Hillbillies)


      Now, looka here, people, listen to my story,
      A little story 'bout a man named Jed.
      You know somethin', that poor mountaineer,
      They say he barely kept his family fed.

      Now lemme tell ya, one day he was shootin'.
      Ol' Jed was shootin' at some food.
      When all of a sudden, right up from the ground there,
      Well, there came a bubblin' crude.

      Oil, that is. Well, maybe you call it
      Black gold or Texas tea.
      He gonna move next to Mr. Drysdale,
      And be a Beverly Hillbilly.

      Before you know it, all the kinfolk are a-sayin',
      Yeah, Buddy, move away from there.
      That litle Clampett got his own cee-ment pond.
      That little Clampett, he's a millionaire.

      Now everyone said Californy
      Is the place that you oughta be.
      We got to load up this here truck now.
      We got to move to Beverly.

      Hills, that is.

      Swimmin' pools,
      Move-a-move-a-movie stars.
      Huh, looka that looka that.

      (Beverly, Beverly, Beverly Hillbillies)

      Y'all come back now, hear?

        If you have trouble getting a real badge you fail

          Really? There were a TON of people waiting in line for a badge last year on every day of the CON. I suspect some of these people didn't get a real badge after standing there for several hours. They fail? Why? Because they assumed there would be a sufficient number of badges for all attendees?

          If that's a fail, that's crazy talk.....

            Should I break the news to him. Last year especially, the swag lines and the badge lines merged together. The badge line was only like 10 people long; yet the swag line reached around the Casio and out the door. A little recon would have proofed this out.

            The moral of the story, never just stand in line, make sure you are standing in the right line. Though I didn't get a badge the first day, I did the second, and didn't have to wait at all.

            I love Defcon swag, but not enough to waist most of a vacation day standing in line waiting for it. :-) Perhaps yet once again they will re-engineer the swag deployment to better serve the public. Kudos to them anyway as those guys were like totally exhausted by the end of the day.

                Ok...I think I may have to bust out my calculator for this math, but I will take your challenge!

                My guess is, the number of people who will get shirts is....
                hmmmm

                    Hey lost, I heard your making a limited run shirt. How many are you making and what is the odds I can get one?
