Panels, panels, who's got the panels

[dorinda]

You know, a weekend seems like a good long time, before it actually happens. Or at least, that's what I say on the Sunday night of a weekend where I had all kinds of big plans to clean my apartment and pick up after myself and whatnot. On the bright side, I did tidy some terrible things out of the refrigerator, one of which was actually leftover FROM THANKSGIVING oh god. /o\

I'm currently trying to come up with another panel idea for Escapade. I wrote up a couple, two different fandom compilations of sorts (con artist fandoms, age of sail fandoms). But I'd also still love to talk about The Exorcist, if it were at all possible.

Problem is, my only idea for a panel description is, like, HEY WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THE EXORCIST. I KNOW IT GOT CANCELLED BUT THAT JUST MEANS NOW NO ONE CAN RUIN IT. And that doesn't necessarily seem focused enough.

Although I might just use that as my writeup anyway. :D Focus, schmocus.

I'm from London where wideboys (illegal street traders) when asked where something came from will make that gesture along their nose while saying "ask no questions, tell no lies." :D

I bet that's where it came from, whenever it was imported into the US underground! The icon version in particular is the con-artist recognition signal in "The Sting", but I suspect that might have come from the 1940s non-fiction book about con artists that inspired the movie.
