If I had mod points I would mod you (-1: Grow the Fuck up).

I think they forgot one small thing...

"hang out with 5,000 of your closest friends?" I've never heard of these 'friend' things... This is Slashdot right?

Contest to rename the venue?

Which 133t h4x0r will be the first to rename the QuakeCon venue to the "GHEYLORD Convention Center" and win the free copy of D00|\/| 3?

Yeah, the gaming scene in Minnesota is gigantic. I'm sure Red McCombs is the leader. I'll stick to the secrets inside UT coeds dorm rooms.

Re:Gaylord owns

[WeeBull]

Oh COME ON! It's a deliberate joke name, picked purely to generate publicity! And seriously, if your chain is called "Gaylord", would you EVER pick "Palms" as the name of your hotel? Of course you wouldn't!

And if you did, and if you had a recruitment hotline ...

I swear I'm not making this up! Check the links if you don't believe me!

"Ow, ow !" indeed.

(But, as parent correctly predicts - I've never stayed at a Gaylord, or even "been in a Gaylord" for that matter. I did seriously consider staying one night so I could steal some bathrobes for some of my gaylord friends, though ...)
