Ten Things I Learned About Humanity While Attending Comic-Con

10. Purchasing plastic toys is a privilege, not a right.
9. Some consider soft pretzels to be a food group.
8. Tattooing your entire back to resemble the cover of a comic book gives you the right to walk around topless, and the right to act put off when someone stops you to take your picture.
7. There are celebrities that get the pop-icon thing and can respect their fans (James Marsters, Bruce Campbell) and there are those that don't (CC Sabathia).
6. Limo drivers are a wealth of information, such as the one who first asked us "Are you famous?" then proceeded to tell us what a jerk CC Sabathia is.
5. Strippers love Comic-Con.
4. Jerry "The King" Lawler is orange.
3. The same people who will haggle over paying $8 vs. $10 for a first printing of Man-Thing #1 will eagerly pay $15 for a soda and hot dog at lunch.
2. There are many things that can bring people of all stripes together: Attractive celebrities, counter-protesting the Westboro Baptist Church, waiting in line for toys, and laughing at others' misfortunes.
1. People stink.

Ok. Seeing CC Sabathia's name mentioned in any type of reference to comic-con (other than the less than accurate comparison to "The Shadow" made here) is not only amazing, but thoroughly satisfying for me personally.
