@pluralistic @codinghorror @joncruz @jorgecandeias I actually dressed up this way for Halloween that year and tied a helium balloon to my belt as part of the costume. When I arrived at the party, dozens of people looked at me in confusion and then one guy at the back of the room shouted, "Hah! You're Cory Doctorow!" We became the best of friends instantly. #TrueStory

@pluralistic @codinghorror @joncruz @jorgecandeias Oh, hey, I found the picture in my archives! I forgot that I did the xkcd stick figure part too!
A picture of Mekki wearing a Hallowe'en costume. He's wearing all white with a black stick-figure outline done in tape over the white. He's wearing a red cape and goggles. A helium happy face balloon is floating above him, tied to his belt.

@pluralistic @codinghorror @joncruz @jorgecandeias And that balloon is clearly wrapped around my torso, not tied to my belt. Memory is a funny, fuzzy thing!

I'd wondered about the genesis of the cape-and-goggles motif. Hah!

So it's all actually the EFF's fault?

@pluralistic @codinghorror @joncruz @jorgecandeias *** RED ALERT*** Cory Doctorow, Jeff Atwood and Randall Monroe in one thread - we're dangerously close to the critical mass of cool!

Luckily my appearance in the thread should act like cool-absorbing control rods.
