Why do anime cons always smell bad?

I went to PAX. Only convention I've really been to actually, and it didn't smell bad. Except when we were standing in line before the doors open, there was a pretty noticeable funk in the room. It's especially bad when you're sort of short compared to all the tall dudes standing next to you.
 
I've always kind of got the creepy feeling that if we had to use actual pictures of ourselves for avatars, I might stop hanging out on GAF, or at least not venture into certain types of threads EVER.

The post your own pics thread isn't too bad, but there's selection bias there.

Also, why is nerd B.O. way worse than normal B.O.???

Someone should go to that convention and do a smell test.

I always feel weird seeing pics of GAFfers. And that includes your YouTube videos, Timedog. :P
 
I say it's time we do it.

G-Fex just crapped his pants when I even mentioned such a thing.

Have you ever noticed that the vast majority of the people you see in that thread are the people you almost never see anywhere else on GAF? It's the strangest thing.

DUDE, YES I HAVE NOTICED THAT!!!

My guess is the multiplier. Normally you don't run into too many people with BO during your life, but with anime cons it can become unavoidable at times, and because of that it's overwhelming to the unprepared nose.

Even in singular doses, it's way worse for some reason. I think it might have something to do with sunlight. I'm serious.

I want you to feel weird. After awhile that weird sensation will go lower and lower, down into the abdomen. It will burn deep, like an insatiable fire. Don't fight it.
