By the rings of Narner! While the geeks, grinds, freaks, conches and -- last but not least -- gearheads have all moved on from Comi Con (so 2003; Real "squids" go to WonderCon), Hollywood Players who have yet to get the text-message with the Wolverene-vs-Omega-Red emoticon (Averted Gaze), still show up trying to get a feel (Eew) of what truly is on theMind of Mensa at the Javitz Convention Center.

We could tell you what matters to geeks and grinds in a heartbeat. Jolt Cola, Natalie Portman's breast size, G4 Television, The Space 1999 into, Is Baltar a Cylon?, Phone Phreaking, Do androids dream of Electric Sheep? The slow, sordid seduction of Anakin Skywalker to The Dark Side, NASA privatization,If only all women were like Dagny Taggert. That sort of thing. From Popwatch:

"It's been the calm before the storm(troopers) at high noon here at New York Comic Con. But right about now, exhibitors are bracing themselves for a frequently malodorous cloud of human haze — a.k.a. the "general population," God bless 'em — about to enter this veritable Thunderdome. If you recall, the Con's New York City debut last February was besmirched by a grossly underestimated nerd surge. City officials wearing Fire Marshall doodads were called in. Panelists got shut out from entering the premises. Message boards roared in protest. A big fiasco? Totally. But with one mammoth upside: a pivotal growth spurt."

Um, we hate to break it to you Entertainment Weekly, but, regrettably, that "spurt" wasn't "growth". It was somethinf far more insidious. And if whomever -- whomever! --- did it doesn't immediately clean it off the "Women of Frank Frazetta" display shnell! this will be the last ComiCon at the Javitz Center. Do we make ourselves clear?
