6 Weirdest Items from LA Comic Book and SciFi Con

Don't blink, you are about to see 6 of the "weirdest" (but more like most random) items I found at last weekends  Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention. I know 6, such an unsystematic number but I make the rules!

Attended the convention for the first time with two pals that never fail to let me down, Jeaux and Matt. Will it be my last time attending? Probably not. As we walked in, there were posters advertising the notorious Edward Furlong's scheduled appearance at the next event. I couldn't contain myself, did a jig and marked Sunday February 24th on my calendar!

"Oh...so it's a flea market for nerds" are the EXACT words that exited my mouth as we pondered down our first isle. The convention small, but intimate and held at the Shrine Auditorium, hosted about 10 isles of vendors selling comics, toys and PORNOGRAPHY! I'm not appalled that there was porn; however saw no disclaimer that there would be adult content and about 60% of the booths had some form of pornographic items for purchase. Need I mention the shady make-shift black curtain booth in the center of the hall? Curious minds and eyes needed take a gander behind the mysterious facade and whad'ya know, more PORN! Let me spoil the rest of this post for you, no pictures of adult pleasure content were taken...Hustler trading cards and jiggly jug action figures really weren't the weirdest thing I saw there. Beside there are plenty of sites to get your fix, or so I hear. Now on with the weird ...

Is that Slayer glassware and shot glasses!? Why yes it is! Fan of Slayer but at a SciFi and comic book convention? Come one guuuys! Not sure how this fit in... and to be honest the people running this table I am sure can be found outside the next Britney Spears concert selling bootleg tour shirts for ten dolla...HOLLA!

Alright VHS aren't all that weird, but def a blast from the past. Who has a VHS player? Amongst my friends and I, we each have one. I just couldn't get over the fact the dude running this table wanted FIVE BUCKS for janky video cassettes. While there was an assortment of some good flicks we didn't find Matt's "Night of the Living Dead" and $5 almost fronts a month of Netflix.

TROLL! OK, this was just weird and CREEPY! A box of used troll wine toppers annnd I'm pretty sure the one in the center is throwing a thumbs up...Yeah, no thanks. At this point I was really questioning why we bothered with this event.

Dennis the Menace meets Chucky...this doll just stood out like a fat kid in dodge ball. (As did the $30 Donny Osmond displayed next to him). Jeaux quickly confirmed this overall wearing icon was Beany, from "Beany and Cecil", a cartoon before my time. Snapped a pic and fled before the damn thing turned a sling shot on me.

The packaging says it all, WACKY! Don't mistake this wobbler for Mr. T, it's a potato JUST a potato. Lame and weird.

This tops the cake and no pun intended...Free angel food for any $50 purchase! 'nough said
