Boy, FSM sure is everywhere... just what you would expect in a Deity!

My solution: Don't have heroes. This way if you meet someone famous, you won't be disappointed by them. Recognize them all as flawed humans.

Hell, the closest I have had in recent years to a hero was J.K. Rowling until I found out that she thinks of gamers as crazy people. Glad I thought of her as a flawed person beforehand or else I would not have been happy the day I first heard that. Now I just think of her as even more flawed.

This is actually a good approach. I don't go gaga for any one famous.

Well, there's gaga, and then there's acknowledging the folks that made it possible for me to have so much fun. I salute Gary for the latter.

Oh right. I didn't mean to not give the proper respect that is due to certain creative people. I just think fainting for Gary like girls did in the 1960's for the Beatles ain't gonna happen!!!

I have the best solution: My only hero is me.

I've never let myself down so badly that I didn't try to make it up to myself.

And if I ever do meet myself, hey, maybe I'll still be my hero afterwards too. After all, how many people could claim to have met themselves? That's gotta be worthy of respect right there!

Considering the usual population at a game convention, the image is beyond horrifying!!!
