I think that WP gets a bad rap in "the media". They tend to portray WP editors as unattractive misfits who look like oversized trolls, but in reality they are a just a sampling of everyday people. Enjoy the pix from Chicago Meetup IV. If you dare.

I like Jake the Peg with the Amish beard - he reminds me of when Marvel comics went down the pan, and the team leader was always the super-sized geezer in the middle of a cheesy group snap. The guy in orange is straight out of DC though.

There should be a law prohibiting adult males from wearing shorts, except if they're participating in certain sports.

Wikipedia Review should have a meetup.

dry.gif Of course, it'd probably consist of me eating a Waldorf Salad at Traxx (T-H-L-K-D) in Union Station, griping to myself over why nobody attended.

Edit: Hmmm... redlink for a nice restaurant.

The guy on the far left is starting to beam up. 5 seconds later it's an empty space.

The dude's called TonyTheTiger - his catalogue-wear is the least of his problems.

I'm certain I saw this guy in Sean of the Dead.

The last time I saw a picture of MuZemike, I could have sworn he weighed less and was a redhead. But that's probably my imagination.

Orangemike looks like either the creepy guy on the end of the street dressed up for Halloween. Or a sort of orange-loving Hagrid.

Tod Browning?......

John Waters would have a field day with those freaks.
He'd probably make a whole movie around Orangemike.
(If Orangemike weren't an insufferable blowhard, that is.)

Damn. I wish I'd known about that meetup. It would have been amusing to have "stopped in". I wonder how many of them would have realized that I'm a wikisatan and tried to get rid of me.

Not to put a to fine of a point and say, based on the "average" Modus operandi of your "typical" wikipediot, are over sized misfits, Sociopaths, Pedophiles, sex-deviants, all with with Napoleon complexes as well as other basement dwelling freaks, pathological liars and nutters with causes way out in the left space of hell - all lacking any commitment to truth - all destructive to the general welfare of mankind.

And Mr Lowey (orangemike) is right up with the worst of the bunch - all lacking in intellectual honesty, and all are degenerate hypocrites - the scum of the world.

That said, it's to bad I didn't got word of this "meet up" earlier, I would love to have discuses this with ORANGE MIKE face to face, in the "REal World" with out his TOOLS, other then his pea sized brain and his warped sense of right and wrong.
