    For anyone else who doesn’t get it, this is the actor who plays Data in TNG.

    I’ve never seen this image before so I was kind of confused haha.

    For those who weren’t aware of this particular moment in internet history!

    Bright spiner one time did an AMA. With his name as the username and everything. As he was doing it people looked at his profile and saw that, like 4 years before, he had commented on some picture of data giving a little context to the behind the scenes picture. It had like three up votes and nobody had responded because nobody actually thought it was him.

      Probably his 700th hug of the day if it was a convention.

      These cons have been known to put up “You, yes you, need to shower!” placards and give out free deodorant. Lord knows what clanking around in plastic armor makes you smell/feel like.

      Plenty of reasons this might not be the best time for him.

      I’m not sure, I’ve been to DragonCon a few times, but not since the 90s.

      Since it’s been brought up, I have to tell my favorite DragonCon story- I was walking outside up the street between the two convention halls that it was being held in and one of the members of GWAR in full makeup was walking the opposite way (sorry, I don’t know GWAR well enough to tell you which one. He had horns? I saw them play later which is how I know) and he looked around and yelled, “THERE’S A BUNCH OF FREAKS AROUND HERE!”
