Role playing hurts

lba

I think I've touched on how humorous I find role-playing to be once before, but I'll reiterate it: There is no form of theatre funnier to me ( Except perhaps Avenue Q. ). Watching a bunch of people trying too hard to imitate the "coolness" of their favorite anime character, Orc, politician, etc. is by far the most entertaining thing that one can find at any gathering. Recently, I decided to attend a few concerts that are occurring over the summer and I'm anxiously anticipating the sideshows of LARPing that will be taking place there. Because I can't wait to see some unbelievably overweight girl ( Not to single out overweight people or women. The guys who decided to use concrete on their pimples will be in attendance too. ) who attempted to squeeze into a costume made for a person who weighs the same amount as Barbie ( I'm not talking if she were life size, I'm talking the doll's weight. ) come flying out onto the stage resulting in every guy in the crowd to instinctively make loud retching noises, while the women make instinctive tongue-clucking noises and mental notes to force the guys to sleep outside. Of course there are always a few guys who won't be forced to sleep in the mud. However, they usually consist of gay men and myself, who is too busy laughing at the other guys pain to groan. So I honestly can't wait.

I'll just need to remember not to laugh too hard, lest the person on stage hear me. They might think I'm laughing at their jokes. And I don't want to encourage the competition.
