When I was in Orlando for Megacon, on Sunday, I didn't want to spend the whole time in the hotel, so I went out and had a perfectly awful night (it's too awful for details)...and I got back around 10 p.m., figured I'd go for a late dinner to the Sizzler's next door to the hotel. Went in, wearing my B5 jacket, and as the guy shows me to my seat, he says, "I know you...yessir, I know who you are." I mumbled something at him, the usual bit about being recognized, and he continued. "You're here for the convention, aren't you?" So I allowed as how I was.... "I knew it, I knew it," he said. "You're one of them Trekkies." The only thing that kept me from killing him was that I didn't know the penalty for murder in Florida.
