Comic Con ...?

So - was Red Dwarf X not represented at all at the recent Comic Con? I understand the trailer wasn't out yet (I don't think), but it was very close ... and trailers air all the time at CC that haven't aired to the public yet ... and ...

WELL, AND RED DWARF STILL GOING AFTER 24 YEARS SHOULD BE A BIG FUCKING DEAL AT NERDVANA. I'm sorry, but it should.

Anyway, does anyone know if it was shown/discussed/referenced there as it should have been?

I mentioned dressing up as an Ace-Arnie Hybrid ( my hair is the wrong color but it was the right length) at Wally-World before I quit and one of the Assistant Managers Yelled "Smeghead" at me... After that he insisted every time I saw him I had to give him a "Full Double Rimmer" every time I saw him. The Store manager pulled me a side and asked me for an explanation. He thought it was something perverted.

Did you explain that it IS? LOL

Well.... no....I just kind of you know performed the Rimmer salute and he laughed and told me both me and the assistant were insane. We called the manager a smeghead behind his back until I quit. :)

A "Full Double Rimmer" does sound incredibly rude if you know the double meaning. I think though that it's less well known in Britain.

Many, many times I've had to remember you can't come off with a "rimmer-anything" in polite company.

Well I never realized it was naughty until somebody said something about it. I guess I never heard it. *shrugs* I must have been sheltered.

I didn't realise until I was an adult. It's actually a very appropriate name for early Rimmer. Not so much the later version.
