    From what I've seen, JEJ has a pretty good humor about things, even poking fun at himself, but I think in the end, it would come down to paying him for his time. Probably no shortage of mimics out there though. ;)

    Will somone let me know if I start stinking? Just sorta let me down gentle. I'll do the same for you.

    So does this mean permission granted to just come up to you and sniff you at random times?

    Hahahaha, John. I actually had a guy do this to me before. I was at a roulette table in Shreveport and he had obviously spent the entire night drinking the free casino drinks. It was rather weird.

    But if you do come up and sniff me at random times at the convention I will think you know about this thread or that I really do stink.

    And that was priceless craigrr. We're now in the business of making public service announcements and developing the t-shirt/combination air freshner (gives off a pleasant odor). It's the perfect solution for poor Timmy's problem.

    The money for JEJ would be what I'd worry about. From what I've seen of him in interviews, his sense of humors seems as big as his voice does.

    We could make lemony fresh shirts and pine scented ones. Maybe branch out into more exotic ones like cinammon, pachuli (sp?), and the like.

    Sound good to everyone else?

    Sniffing at random could get you into trouble if the wrong person gets jealous, though.

    You sound like you know from experience. Are you a random sniffer?

    Cinnamon is always good. Maybe we could put together a new X-wing smell or something. That might be popular with Timmys.

    LOL! In a previous era, I may have been. Sadly, not anymore.

    "New X-Wing Smell". That's great!!!

    Tips for Jedi Hygiene:

    - Wash your costumes (handwash with Woolite for those silks) and get your cloaks dry cleaned. (I got strange looks from the Chinese dry cleaner across the street -- I just told him it was a bath robe. :D )
    - Multiple undertunics are your friends. If you only have one, then bring plenty of V-neck undershirts. (In AOTC, I spotted Obi-wan wearing one under his undertunic.)
    - Febreze and more Febreze.
    - May the faucet be with you. ;)

    What's funny about this is that you would think it would go without saying to take a shower every day. [face_laugh]

    But anyway,I agree. ;)

    Yeah, you'd think bathing would be common sense, but it doesn't seem to be as common as it should be.

    Now I think it's quite apt that ROTS merchandising has spread to include cardboard photo air fresheners...I think they're catching on to this. :p


    So would you like Cinnamony Bespin Duel or Applelicious Yoda? [face_laugh]

    Lol, I'll take Appleicious Yoda. ;)


    But yeah, for most people showering is common sense. It's the few for whom this concept is alien that I live in fear of. ;)


    I'm not actually wearing my costumes during the day at the con, I'm gonna wear them for the parties at night, and wear regular clothes during the day. I didn't think wandering around all day in a cape would be too much fun. :p

    What about Mustafar Blackened Cajun, Cool Mint Hoth Ice, Dagobah Rainforest, Endor Pine (sounds like a cat litter), Cloud City Cool Breeze scents?

    I get the fear of being hydrophibic around bodies of water, but bathing should be second nature. These people aren't Mogwai (or at least lets hope not) or sugar. They won't melt in water.

    BO......old lady perfume....Flatulence (this is the one exception to the MTFBWY addage).....oh my!!! Lysol for you, you, and you.........along with any Yoda-speak of "my finger you will pull, yeessssss hmmmm".....Lysol for you too.....

    Ahhhh... Unfortunately, I guarentee the joint will still like a** by the end of each day. It has as much to do with the venue as anything else. The joint just will not be able to air out for 4 solid days.

    Trash cans will overflow.

    Hair care products smell worse as the day goes on.

    Everyone sweats!

    And actually the deoderant and perfumes of thousands of people mixed together invariable smells like feet after baking in the convention center for 4 days.

    Kids will spill every sort of food stuff imaginable. Not to mention dirty diapers!!!

    If the Indy Conv. Center is aggressive about keeping on top of things they can go a long way towards helping, but if it is warm enough that the AC can be used, that will help emmensely as well.

    Basically what I'm saying is that while personal hygine is of course important, chances are it will still smell like the inside of a football helmet by Sunday, despite our best intentions.

    The tip about the Fabreeze is priceless! I added Fabreeze to my list of things to make sure I pack in my suitcase

    Yes! Costumes DO smell after 2 days of wearing them... You walk outside into peoples smelly cig smoke, brush on peoples body fluids, eat food -- costumes all retain those smells. Frebreze is a must have and I always pack it for cons when I wear the same costume more the once.

    Ive heard HORROR c2 stories of guys who wear the SAME Jedi Costume for ALL 4 days, never shower and NEVER change under tunics!

    EWWWW!!!

    This entire thread has given me a good laugh and it has brought back memories of media conventions past.

    I most remember the Dr. Who conventions of the '80s and those fans would be wearing the heavy Tom Baker coat and scarf for 3 days in a row. Oh the smell!

    Thankfully this Celebration is being held 3 weeks earlier so it might not be quite as warm as last time. But, yes, a closed in convention center and lots of bodies can lead to a smelly situation.

    So lets all pitch in and do our part to not add to the smell situation.

    Yes, no passing of gas in class; the code forbids it.

    Hoaky smells and ancient gas are no match for a good can of Lysol at your side, kid. Without precise calculations, we'd walk right through a cloud of gas or bounce to close to some pine tree perfume, and that would end your Celebration III real quick, wouldn't it :)

    (upon spraying Lysol on all the stinkies) we're all fine, here, now, thank you; how are you?

    What? The rancor's here? How do you know? (thoughtfully said) I've smelt it's presence.
    Peeeee-yousa

    (the 501st on stinky patrol...holding up arm of fan in line) Look sir, BO! :) Blast him!! (with Lysol)

    (fan dressed up as old Obi-Wan, using jedi mind trick on 501st members on stinky patrol)
    501st member: How long have you had this BO?
    Fan: about 3 or 4 conventions
    Fan again: my tunic is for sale if you want it
    Fan:this isn't the BO you're looking for
    501st member: This isn't the BO we're looking for
    Fan: You can go about getting your autographs
    501st member: You can go about getting your autographs
    Fan: Move along....
    501st member: Stink along....I mean, move along...move along...

    LOL!

    Well I know I plan to shower in the morning and after the main convention activites so I'm fresh for the afterparties :D

    'Cause if you think regular BO is bad, try Blood Wine soaked BO

    Despite how far gone I was Zoo, I actually remember the smell. [face_sick]
