WHAT BEATS GROSS?
FUNNY and gross! Mark McLaughlin blows us all away with the exploits of a Hi-Octane Super Macho Richard Simmons.
Mark should be a stand-up comic, the way he works the crowd.

OH SHIT!
I forgot that I was competing against Brian too!
DAMMIT! I shoulda saved them worms!

BLOWN AWAY Part II
Ryan Harding got up and knocked us on our asses yet again with a story that was teeth grindingly, humiliating funny!

DAMN TOUGH CHOICE
The judges took forever to decide who should get first place. Everyone knew that the contest for First was between Mark McLaughlin and Ryan Harding.

AND THE WINNAH IS . . .
Mark won the Beetlejuice doll, coming in first place
and having won enough times to remain undefeated
and take his place as judge the following year.

CONTEST IS OVER, RESUME PARTYING
Mike Bracken and Ryan Harding head back to
the never-ending GOTHIC.NET party.

TO THE VICTOR
Mark McLaughlin proudly displays his trophy to one and all while Ryan Harding skulks in the background, preparing for his victory next year.

Eoghain O' Keefe

JOHN'S MOMENT OF GLORY
Anyone can pose with two airheaded bimbos, but how many guys (besides that bastard Brian) get to share a couch with two beautiful and talented women like Rain Graves and Yvonne Navarro?
Eat your heart out, Howard Stern!

SAY, JUST WHERE IS BRIAN?
Oh, there he is, with his arms around Regina Mitchell and Julie Morales, who seems to be giving hickey Big Time!
From this picture it seems that even Brian is
sometimes amazed at his own power.
Mike Oliveri smiles for the camera.

JOHN REGALES HIS WIFE
"And then, when I didn't think it could get any worse, Kelly Laymon took a swig of DIET COKE to wash down the worm!"

AND FINALLY
Paula Guran (DARK ECHO) and Brian Keene
enjoy a snuggle while Schiaparelli Pink mopped
Seth Lindberg, and "Aerin Beth" (Layout Goddess for GOTHIC.NET) smile for the camera, thus ending the final night of the WORLD HORROR CONVENTION 2000.
All else was sad goodbyes. <sniff!>
Now to prepare for WHC 2001 in Seattle!

JUST WHOSE FAULT IS IT ANYWAY?
Feo: James Futch took the photos! Blame HIM!
James: Like HELL! Feo wrote this mess! Blame HIM!

A Very Special Thanks to James Futch.
This Photo-Article would not be here without him.
