AUTO EROTICA AT CHILLER

One of the big draws at these nerdy "memorabilia conventions" is...INANIMATE OBJECTS.

First off, most of the people who attend ARE inanimate objects.

Most of 'em come to buy ridiculous crap like INANIMATE "action" figures: toy replicas of Godzilla or Batman or the cast of "Game of Toilets" or Harry Potter.

The convention will always have at least one car, like the fucking Batmobile. Last week's CHILLER show boasted TWO esoteric cars for trivia fans easy to please.

Ooooh, hey hey, THE MONKEES car was a hit. It attracted lots of "cosplay" assholes, like two nitwits who showed up as The Blues Brothers (ok, they wouldn't likely be encountering competition, and you can get the "costumes" in any thrift shop). Also on hand, one of the many variations on Obi Wanker-obi.

This scene was replayed time and again, as various nerds who showed up alone waited to ask some other nerd, "Can you take my picture as I stand next to the car?"

The other attraction was a truck. It's really not a "FAMOUS" truck. It's not like Fred Sanford and Son spent a lot of timing driving around in it. But hey...somebody saved it...so why not have your photo taken in it, looking like a self-satisfied asshole?

Impressed?

Demond Wilson was one of the D-listers at the show. He did nothing of interest after "Sanford and Son" went off the air. He did nothing of interest while "Sanford and Son" was ON the air. The show was Sanford (Redd Foxx). Maybe the British original, "Steptoe and Son," had a more active "son," but here? NO.

This guy was so unknown even when the show was a hit, most couldn't even pronounce his name. Wilson turned up on the "Hollywood Squares" quiz show, and the contestant called him Demon'd. Like he was deviled. Possessed.

Of course the contestant was pretty stupid not to have been paying attention when Wilson was introduced at the top of the show (along with the other guest stars) and his name was rightly pronounced de-MOND.

There he was, not looking too unlike himself, willing to pose in the fucking truck.

Poor guy. I say that because he couldn't be thrilled to pose with a few idiots now and then in front of a boring truck...and he couldn't have made much money, either.
