Author Topic: Who else got sick (literally) after showest? Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-13-2003 11:01 PM                     I thought rapid cooling down was bad for you after heavy exertion or running. I thought a slow cool down and stretching was the way to go to keep all those toxins from causing problems.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Perhaps their balls create undesirable wind resistance?  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-13-2003 11:41 PM                     I developed a mild cold after my December visit to Vegas. It was the return to humidity after a week in the cool (very) dry air that did me in. An icing bath is a fetish thing where you take a dip in a vat of cake topping and someone else licks you clean.

Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-13-2003 11:52 PM                        Dave, my partner in crime (doing maintenance at the Palms) also came down with something after working the projection booth in the Paris showroom. I didn't attend ShoWest but came down with something that week too. Some sorta bug must be making the rounds here.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 03-14-2003 12:49 AM                        An icing bath (contrary to the fetish meaning ) is used to help slow the flow of blood, thus reducing swelling, and aid in the removal of lactic acid, which caused stiffness and soreness. The only drawback is that cold blood coming back up from the legs can do strange things to the parts. Josh  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

Had food from all the ShoWest events, and at the Film-Tech drink. Recall last year, quite a few people who attended the Academy Sci-Tech Awards in Hollywood were quite ill the following week at ShoWest, evidently with a variation of the Norwalk Virus: http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,9650,00.html  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.
