DA JUDGES
These are the men who will sit in judgement of the ga-ross-est,
most vilest refuse of disgusting fiction ever to splat the stage.
From Left to Right: Simon Clark (JUDAS TREE),
John Pelan (AN ANTIQUE VINTAGE),
Richard Laymon (THE STAKE ), and
Vincent Harper.

PERHAPS YOU THINK I'M JOKING
Perhaps you don't believe me!
So here is a close up! See that thing dangling from his
mouth? It ain't a cigarette, pal!
Brian doesn't have such filthy habits.

THE LUCK OF THE DRAW
Belonged to Brian Keene, who was called onto
the stage first, to read his story.
To this day, no one remembers what the story was.
Why? BECAUSE WHILE HE READ HE ATE WORMS, MAN! Real Live Wriggling WORMS!
Even worse, he washed them down with a
(Ugh!) Diet Coke!

NOT A SELFISH MAN
The lessons of grade school are not lost on Keene.
Don't bring food to the gross-out contest unless
you have enough to share.
Brian invites others to gobble his bait.

LADIES FIRST
Kelly Laymon does it! She actually eats a WORM!
Notice her grip that bottle of Diet Coke with iron
determination.
With a single swig she kept that sucker down!
All you Frat Boys and Military Brats take note:
Young and petite Kelly here ain't eating no tiny
little dead Tequila worm and her nerve didn't come
from the bottle either!

GEOFF DOES THE DEED
Next up is Geoff Cooper, who eats the worm
with an almost religious fervor.

SNORT!
Naturally I had to do it. After all, I have a reputation to maintain
- Its Not A GOOD Reputation -
but its the only one I've got!
At the bottom of this picture we see Simon Clark, who up until this moment, fondly called me his long lost brother. That was before he saw me snort a live worm up my nose.

THAT'S RIGHT, LIVE AND WIGGLING

AND THEN . . .
To show there was no slight of hand, I then spat the worm out of my mouth, into my hand and held it up to show one and all that it was still alive.
Simon misunderstands. Simon thinks its over.

OH MY GOD HE JUST WON'T STOP!
Then I eat that live wiggling sucker, wot had just toured me nasal passages, WHOLE! Let the others follow THAT!

NEXT UP
For our entertainment, Mike McCarty read his
story while doing the Ass Crack Fandango.
Vince Harper enjoys the performance.
