Oh, like the Disclave Flooding Incident perpetrators?
(If you haven't heard the story, the moral is, if you're going to play bondage games in the con hotel, DON'T use a sprinkler as a tie-down point. Knowing that, and knowing about the 2' high wave of water that came out of the door to outside that was opened when the folks outside noticed water coming from under the door at 2AM, I think reconstruction of the rest of the story can be left to the imagination.)
Then there was the person (NOT me) who came to the costume contest as the "Cosmic Turd": wearing a trash bag which he had covered on the outside with peanut butter. Unfortunately, the peanut butter rubbed off on everything and everybody he came near . . .
For several years after that, the rules for the costume contest at all cons in the area had an paragraph which read "NO PEANUT BUTTER. If you don't know why, don't ask. Just don't do it."

God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam� God bless America! My home, sweet home.
-- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
