How to avoid Con Funk

[syrusb]

Also posted to my TumblrWe’ve all experienced it. The overly ripe con goer who seems to carry their own less than savory bubble of air about them. I mean… I guess that’s a way to get a little more space around yourself at a con, but if you want to be able to interact with people, you’ll have to lose the pocket atmosphere of doom you carry around

Re: 2) and 1) - AXE is not a substitute for a shower no matter what the man on the TV says.

OMG, I had to laugh SO HARD. SO true, every little detail.

A++ for this, you should publish this as a flyer, or pocket book titled with: "How to participate a Con in a proper way". Or as a counter title: "How to survive a Con in a proper way", for the people who have to experience/suffer the filfths.

Eating properly also helps with this.

Ohhh yeah that too! Doesnt matter if you brush your teeth, if you don't eat anything your throat is still going to be covered in funk, causing stinky breath. Breakfast is a must!

Sadly some people just have awful BO. I went to high school with a guy whose BO smelled like dirty diapers. Really unfortunate, he was a nice guy and I know he showered, but the moment he started sweating he just STANK.

I get stinky but not like that, so I count myself lucky.
