Hottest Retailer.

Don't look now, but the readers of The Source have voted me the hottest retailer.

Hottest Retailer? WTF?

So here's the explanations I've come up with so far.

1.) They mistook the word "Hot" when they actually meant "Sot" or "Sod."

2.) A case of mistaken identity. They said the "guy" at Pegasus and meant Cameron, Jasper or Matt.

3.) The Cos-play crowd has taken Japanese culture to heart and are respecting their elders.

4.) None of the readers of the Source have actually met me.

5.) Somebody is having me on. They got together for drinks and all said, "Who's the most unlikely guy we could vote for?"

6.) I got 4 votes and everyone else got 3 votes.

7.) I really am too sexy for my comics, too sexy for my comics, I'm too sexy for my comics.

8.) I have a crazy stalker who voted for me 50 times.

9.) Sarcasm is so unseemly, people.

10.) The Source REALLY wants my advertising.

12.) "Hot" as in, I get in the paper more than anyone else. I'm the only retailer anyone remembers.

13.) And MOST LIKELY: I'm having my "Carrie" moment. As one of my customers said, "Don't look up!"
